How to Merge or Combine Classes

Combine two or more Classes into one — and bring all Enrollees with you — using this manual workflow

Written by Serena Edwards

Enrollsy doesn't have a one-click "merge" tool for Classes, so combining Classes is a manual process you do from the Enrollee level. The good news: by moving Enrollees through the Unassigned List, you can consolidate two (or more) Classes into a single Class without losing enrollment data. This guide walks through the full workflow, plus the one behavior most people miss the first time they try it.

Before You Begin

Before merging, decide which Class will be the destination (the one you're keeping) and which will be the source (the one you'll empty and delete). Make sure you have permission to edit Classes, and ideally do this outside of active enrollment hours so families don't see Enrollees disappear and reappear. Merging is not reversible from a single button — you'll need to manually move Enrollees back if you change your mind.

Steps to Combine Classes

The merge happens in four steps: park Enrollees in the Unassigned List, move them into the destination Class, clean up the old Class, and delete it.

Step 1 – Move Enrollees to the Unassigned List

Open the source Class (the one you're emptying). In the Unassigned List, click Add and search for each Enrollee by name to move them out of the Class. Repeat until every Enrollee from the source Class is sitting in the Unassigned List.

Step 2 – Assign Enrollees to the Destination Class

With your Enrollees parked in the Unassigned List, assign each one to the destination Class — the Class you're keeping. This is the actual "merge": their enrollment history follows them into the new Class.

Step 3 – Remove Enrollees from the Old Class

Return to the source Class. Select any Enrollees still listed there and click -Class, Reassign, or -Day (the exact button depends on your enrollment setup) to remove them from that Class.

About the Unassigned List

After Step 3, some Enrollees may reappear in the Unassigned List — and some may not. Here's the rule:

  • If an Enrollee is not enrolled in any other Class within the same program, they will appear in the Unassigned List. Select them and click Deactivate and Delete to fully remove that enrollment.

  • If an Enrollee is enrolled in another Class in the same program, they will not appear in the Unassigned List, and no further action is needed.

Step 4 – Delete the Old Class

Once the source Class is empty, delete it. Click the Edit pencil icon on the Class, then choose Delete Class at the top of the edit panel. The merge is complete — all Enrollees now live in the destination Class, and the old Class is gone.

Verify the Merge

After deleting the source Class, open the destination Class and confirm three things: every expected Enrollee is on the roster, their enrollment dates and history carried over, and the source Class no longer appears in your Program list. If anything looks off, check the Unassigned List one more time — stragglers usually end up there.

Troubleshooting

If an Enrollee won't move from the Unassigned List into the destination class, check that the destination Class still has capacity and that its enrollment window is open. If you can't delete the old Class in Step 4, an Enrollee or waitlisted contact is probably still attached — return to Step 3 and look for anyone the roster filter may be hiding.

And if Deactivate and Delete isn't doing what you expect, confirm the enrollee truly has no other class in the same Program; that single condition controls everything in this workflow.
