Updated 1/2/2025

Use the duplicate class feature to re-create a similar class, or to "roll over" current classes to a new year, semester, or term. Both current and ended classes can be duplicated.

Staff must have admin level privileges to duplicate classes.

Note: To copy people to the duplicated class, create the duplicate class before exiting people from the old class.

Create a duplicate class

1. On the Classes tab, search for the class name; click the desired class row in the results.
2. On the Classes>Summary tab, click the Duplicate Class button to create an exact copy of the class.
   
3. Update any class details, including class name, room, dates, class times, etc. Click the Save button.
   
4. From the list of staff, volunteers, and students currently enrolled in the old class, mark the names to be added to the duplicated class. Check Select All to move everyone on the screen to the new class.
   Note: To copy class enrollment Comments from the old class to the new class, check the Carry Over Enrollment Comments box. (There isn't a way to select and copy comments only for certain individuals - it's all or nothing)
   
5. Finish creating the class
   • Click Enroll to save the new class with selected individuals
   • If there are no people names on the Choose Individuals to Enroll screen, click Skip. Once the class is created, manually enroll people in the new class as usual.

Exit people from the old class

Exit all currently active people from the old class. If the class has not yet ended, use a future end date. See this article, Exit people from a class, for a quick way to exit everyone.

Modify old class End Date if necessary

Class Start and End Dates should reflect when the class was open to students. When the old class ended sooner than originally planned, change the class End Date. It's on the Classes>Summary screen. Click the Edit button in the purple box, change the End Date, and save changes.
