Managing Class Registrations, Waitlists, and Completions
To manage class registrations, waitlists, and completions, you need to access the class roster. The roster includes a list of registered learners, wait-listed learners, and details of the class, such as capacity, status, start date, and location.
Instructors assigned to the class and others who can select Live Course ILT from the Content menu can manage the roster.
Step one: Open a class roster
Before you can perform any roster action, you need to open the class roster. To open the class roster,
Step two: Roster actions
With the class roster open, you can perform any of the following actions:
After opening the roster for a particular class, you see the class capacity, class status, and class start date across the top of the page. If you need additional details, select the View class details button.
The list of registered participants displays in the table under the Registered Learners tab. Select the Registration Waitlist tab to see those learners who attempted to register after the registration window closed or class capacity was reached.
If you chose to activate the option to approve registration requests, you see a Pending approvals tab. Only site admins can approve pending requests. After learners make the request, site admins get an email notification.
To approve a single request:
- from the Pending approvals tab, locate the learner in the list.
- select the More Actions icon in the Actions column, then select Approve Request. When you approve a request:
- If the class has reached maximum capacity, you have the option to either register the learner and exceed capacity, or add the learner to the waitlist.
- If you register the learner, the learner gets notified that their request was approved and their status changes to Registered.
- If you waitlist the learner, the learner gets notified that their request was approved and their status changes to Waitlisted.
- The learner has the option to Cancel their registration.
To deny a single request
- From the Pending approvals tab, locate the learner in the list
- select the More Actions icon in the Actions column, then select Deny Request. When you deny a request:
- You must specify a reason for denying the request.
- The learner gets notified that their request was denied. The status of the course changes to available and they can request approval again for the same class.
- Percipio removes the learner's name from the Pending approval list. There is no record that you denied the request.
If you want to manage multiple learners at the same time:
- Click Actions.
- Select all or some of the learners using the check box on the left.
- With learners selected, under Actions, select either Approve request or Deny request.
Whether or not you allowed learners to self-register, you can register learners for a class. When registering learners:
- A learner must have a Percipio user account before you can register them for a class.
- If multiple classes are available for one course, a learner can only be registered for one of its classes at a time. If a learner is currently registered for a class that is in progress, you cannot register them for a different class until all days and times of the current class have ended and you marked them incomplete.
- You can register learners even if the class will be over capacity.
- You can register learners even if you did not add the live course to a channel they can access. In this case learners can only see the class listed on their Activity page.
To register a learner, select Register. There are three tabs available depending on what you need to do.
- Search existing Percipio users: Use this tab if you know learners have a Percipio user account and there are not too many learners that you need to register.
- Type the learner name in the Learner name field. As you type Percipio finds matching user accounts.
- Select the matching user account.
- You can repeat until all learners you want to register display.
- Select Save and add. All learners get added to the registration list and receive a registration email confirmation.
- Register learners from CSV: Use this tab to register a long list of learners from a comma-separated value (CSV) file.
- Select Download template.
- Open the CSV file in your preferred editing application, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
- For each learner you want to register, add either their Percipio Login name, Email, or External User ID and specify one learner name per row.
- Save the file in the native CSV format.
- On the Register learners from CSV tab, click Select file.
- Locate the file and select Open.
- Select Register learners to this class. All learners get added to the registration list and receive a registration email confirmation.
- Add new Percipio users: Use this tab to open a new User Management browser window where you can create user accounts for the learners you need to register. After you create the user accounts, you need to return to Search existing Percipio users tab to register the learner.
You can only cancel a learner's registration prior to the class start date. After the class start date passes, you have to wait until the last date and time of a class ends before you can mark the learner incomplete and register them for another class.
From the Registered Learners tab, locate the learner in the list, select the More Actions icon in the Actions column, then select Yes, cancel registration.
When you cancel a learner's registration prior to the start date:
- Percipio sends a notification via email that the registration was canceled.
- The class shows as available in the live course list as long as the class is not full.
- The learner can re-register for that class or a different class of that same course.
Click the Registration Waitlist tab. For each learner listed you can either register them for a class or remove them from the waitlist.
If you are managing one learner at a time, locate the learner in the list, select the More Actions icon in the Actions column, then select Register for this class, Register for a different class, or Remove from waitlist.
If you want to manage multiple learners at the same time:
- Select Actions.
- Select all or some of the learners using the check box on the left.
- With learners selected, under Actions, select either Register for this class, Register for a different class, or Remove from waitlist.
When working with the waitlist:
- When you register a learner to this class, Percipio automatically removes them from the waitlist.
- You can register learners to a class even if the class will be over capacity.
- You can register a learner for a different class within the same live course. If that different class is also at capacity, you can add the learner to the waitlist of that other class or override its capacity.
- Canceling a waitlist request removes the learner from the list, but does not prevent the learner from joining it again.
After a class ends (for a multi-day class this is after the last date and time has passed), you can mark it complete for each learner. Learners see the course as Started in their Activity until you mark it complete.
Click the Registered learners tab to begin.
- Locate the learner in the list, then select the More Actions icon in the Actions column, select Mark complete and score.

- Once you confirm your selection for complete, you cannot make any changes to the completion status or score.
- If you perform a bulk action on a learner who already has a completion status and score, no changes are made to that learner.
- Learners see the completion status in their Activity from My Profile.
- When you select bulk action and enter a score, all learners selected receive that score.
- When completing a class, you must specify a completion date. This can be the date of the last class or the date you are entering the data (today's date).
- If a learner who attended is not on the registration list, you can add that learner at this time.
- If all learners are marked complete or incomplete, the Class state changes to verified from ended.
After a class ends (for a multi-day class this is after the last date and time has passed), you can mark it incomplete for a learner who did not attend or meet participation requirements. Learners see the course as Started in their Activity after you mark it incomplete.
Click the Registered learners tab to begin.

Any Percipio role with roster privileges, except instructors, have two additional actions they can take with regards to the roster.
