Allowing section drop-ins vs. selling daily admission passes

Updated on



Pros
 Cons
Section Drop-Ins
  • Interacts with Section maximums (12/15 registered allows 3 drop-in spots)


  • Only need to run one Class List/Course Revenue List


  • Can be created by career staff without Help Desk involvement


  • Calculates attendance properly
  • May only be sold 1 hr prior to class start times (through duration of class)


  • Need to create “dummy” sections to support a “Drop-In Only” program


  • Cannot be sold for sections that are full.
Daily Passes
  • Can be sold at any time, easier to process additional sales outside of scheduled class times


  • Can be re-purposed for “Drop-In Only” programs
  • Calculates attendance at time of sale (not associated with class times)


  • Does not interact with section maximums


  • Need to run multiple reports to collect


  • attendance/revenue numbers


  • Can’t be created by career staff without Help Desk involvement
