Fun Fact: Once a Student has self registered for an activity, they cannot unregister for the period, they can only change activities so that they always have somewhere to go during the Flex Period.
Understanding Activity Availability
When you are looking for an activity, you will see different status tags. These tell you if you can join a specific session.
Status Tag | What it means |
Remaining Seats | The number of spots still available. Students can still self register if there are remaining seats. |
Activity full | The activity has reached its maximum capacity. The entry will be greyed out, and you cannot register. |
Not available | Students should not see activities they are not eligible to attend listed in the activities. For example, it may be restricted to a specific grade or group. |
Registration Deadlines
Your school may set a Student Registration Deadline for Flex periods. If a deadline is active, you must complete your registration or make any changes before that time.
What happens after the deadline?
If you try to register after the cutoff, you will see a Past Deadline message. At this point, you will no longer be able to self-register or change your activity. If you still need to be placed in an activity, you must contact your Teacher or a school Admin.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Issue: I cannot see any activities in my FlexPeriods in My Tools.
Solution: If you do not see any available activities for the upcoming Flex Period, your school may not have enabled self registration for students. Reach out to your Teacher to see if they can register you for an activity.
Issue: I registered to an activity by mistake and I do not want to be in any activities, how do I unregister so I do not have an activity?
Solution: Students cannot unregister from an activity, they can only change registrations to swap activities. If you are not supposed to be registered to any Flex activities, reach out to your school admin or Flex Manager to have you removed from the activity.
