How do I move new students to the next intake?#
On that intake, press ⋯, then New students join this one. Students already in an intake stay where they are.
Do students get told before it starts?#
Yes. Your intake starts tomorrow goes to everyone in an intake the day before its start date; its switch is on Emails.
What if I change or delete an intake?#
Its students stay on the course and anything they finished stays open. With One module at a time, their lessons then follow the new date, or each student's own join day if you delete it.
With Straight away or As they finish, students in an intake can open lessons the day they join, even before the start date. How do I limit places and run a waiting list?
