Session Type

Select the session type:

  • Single Part - A single-part session starts and ends within a consecutive timeframe. For example, the session starts at 9am and ends at 5pm on the same day. Or, a multi-day session that starts on Friday at 5pm and ends on Monday at noon.  
  • Multi-Part - A multi-part session is a session that consists of multiple parts where each part can have its own start and end date/time, instructors, and session type. For example, the session takes place on from 9am to 5pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Refer to Multi-Part Sessions for more details. 

Grade Type

Select how this course session is graded.

  • None - No grade is given to learners.
  • Letter Grade - Learners are assigned a text grade by an instructor, such as B+, C--, Needs Improvement, or any text string that the instructor wants to assign. 
  • Pass/Fail - Learners are given a pass or fail grade.
  • Percentage - Learners are given a percentage grade.

Enable Waiting List for This Session

This setting is only available when the course's Enable Waiting List for This Course setting is checked.

Check to allow users to be added to the session's wait list when the session's capacity is reached. If this setting is not checked, the enrollment will fail once the session's capacity is reached.

Remove All Learners from the Waiting List for This Session

This setting is only available if you uncheck the session's Enable Waiting List for This Session checkbox when it was previously checked.

Check to remove all learners from the session waiting list. Click the number of learners to view the learners on the session waiting list in the ILT Waiting Lists Dashboard.

If you disable the session waiting list, but do not remove learners from it, you can view the learners on the session waiting list by viewing disabled waiting lists on the ILT Waiting Lists Dashboard.

Enrollment Open Date

Select the date and time that enrollments in the session can begin. If the field is left blank, enrollments can begin immediately (the default). 

The Enrollment Open Date and the Enrollment Close Date settings can be used together to control when enrollments for the session can occur. 

Enrollment Close Date

Select the date and time at which point new enrollments will be prevented. To allow enrollments up until 24 hours before the session begins, leave the field blank. 

The Enrollment Open Date and the Enrollment Close Date settings can be used together to control when enrollments for the session can occur. 

Override Waiting List Reminder Defaults

This setting is only applicable if the session's waiting list is enabled. Check to specify waiting list reminder settings for the session that are different from the course. 

Enable Waiting List Reminder

This setting is only applicable if the session's waiting list is enabled and the Override Waiting List Reminder Defaults setting is checked. By default, the course-level setting is inherited.

Check to send learners on the course or session waiting list the Waiting List Reminder email if there are seats available in this session. 

Period

This setting is only applicable if the Override Waiting List Reminder Defaults setting is checked.

Enter the number of days before the session's start date that the Session Available email should be sent to users on the course or session waiting list if there are available seats in the session.

The session's Start Date, Enrollment Open Date, and Enrollment Close Date will be checked to ensure that the reminder email isn't sent to users during a time when they aren't able to enroll.

Include Weekends on Learner Dashboard Display

This setting controls whether the weekend days are highlighted on the Learner Dashboard's full calendar. 

  • Yes - If the session spans over a weekend, the weekend dates are highlighted on the calendar. In the example below, the First Aid course's session weekend dates (i.e., December 12 and 13) are included.
  • No - If the session spans over a weekend, the weekend dates are not highlighted on the calendar. In the example below, the First Aid course's session weekend dates (i.e., December 12 and 13) are not included.
Because of a limitation with Outlook, adding the session to your Outlook calendar will still include the weekend dates.
