ELECTIVE COURSES
Let students choose what excites them, and track every seat in real time
Offer electives with seat limits and let students or their families enroll directly, while you watch capacity fill in real time, no spreadsheets, no over-enrollment.
Small schools and co-ops thrive when learners pursue genuine interests. NavEd lets you publish courses for each term, set per-course seat limits, and open enrollment with a click. Students or parents request a spot, and you approve or waitlist them from one dashboard, so the right kids get into the right classes without back-and-forth.
As seats fill, live capacity bars update automatically, making it easy to decide whether to add a second section or open the waitlist. Whether you run a semester pottery studio or a year-long coding club, electives give your small school a structured process scaled to fit your community.
- Seat-limited enrollment — Set a maximum capacity per elective and let NavEd enforce it automatically, no over-enrollment, no manual tracking.
- Real-time capacity — See seats fill as students enroll, so you can open a waitlist or add a section the moment demand warrants it.
- Term-based offerings — Publish different electives each semester or year, keeping your catalog fresh and aligned with your program.
- Self-enrollment — Families browse available courses and request a spot themselves, reducing admin back-and-forth during enrollment season.
