Registration, Sessions and Capacity
A six-week course is not six events. Sell the place once and manage attendance across every session.
Multi-session courses
One registration covers the whole run, with each session tracked for attendance separately.
Capacity per session
Cap a studio at what it actually holds, and change it between terms without rebuilding the course.
Front Desk Software for Check-In
Walk-ups, comps and check-in from one screen, on the same live capacity as online registration.
- Walk-up registration sold against the same live capacity as online.
- Scan from a phone or tablet, with live attendance counts. No hardware.
- Look up any registration by name or email, then reprint or resend it.
- Staff roles, so an instructor can check people in and see nothing else.

Reported with your ticket sales
From First Impression to Door Scan
Most ticketing reports begin at checkout and end at the sale. Yours covers the whole arc — what drove demand, what sold, and who actually turned up.
- See what drives demand — impressions, clicks, saves and engagement before the sale.
- Track sales as they happen — tickets, revenue, occupancy, promo codes and campaign performance.
- Measure real attendance — check-ins and door scans, not just tickets issued.
- Understand your audience — where they come from, how they grow and what brings them back.
- Export it for your board and funders, alongside fees, refunds and payout activity.

Class Registration FAQ
What does class registration cost on CultureOwl?
A flat 99¢ per paid place plus standard card processing. There's no percentage fee, and free workshops carry no registration fee.
Is the fee charged per session or per registration?
Per paid registration. A six-week course sold as one place is charged once, not once per session.
Can a teaching program start without paying?
Yes. Start Free includes three months of discovery and up to 20 event uploads, so you can list a term before you commit.
Can one registration cover a multi-week course?
Yes. Add every session to one course and sell the place once. Attendance is still tracked per session.
How do I cap a class at the size of the room?
Set a capacity on the course. It can be changed between terms without rebuilding the listing.
Can I run a drop-in session and a full course side by side?
Yes. A single workshop and a multi-session course can run in the same calendar with their own prices and capacity.
Can I add a scholarship or comp place by hand?
Yes. Add comp and scholarship places directly to the roster, and check those people in alongside paid registrations.
Who decides on refunds for a cancelled class?
Your team does. Refund requests arrive in your dashboard and you approve or decline each one. Learners can ask up to 7 days before the first session; that cutoff is set by CultureOwl.
Can learners add a donation when they register?
Yes. Add an optional gift at checkout, and people can also give without registering. Totals appear in your reports alongside registration income.
Where will my classes be promoted?
On the Classes & Lectures genre page, genre banners, featured class and homepage placements, term announcements, and Cultural News stories and guides.
Is class promotion included, or an add-on?
Placement across CultureOwl's discovery pages and editorial is included with membership. Extra paid campaigns are optional.
Who sees class listings on CultureOwl?
People browsing for culture and creative learning near them — not every kind of event.
Can I move a term across mid-year?
Yes. Many programs list the next term on CultureOwl while the current one finishes on their old system. Our team helps with setup.
Does CultureOwl replace a student information system?
No. CultureOwl covers registration, payment and discovery. A student records or learning management system stays where it is.
