Make course materials tab linked to course template rather than individual course GH1260
Right now last year's students can't see the current course materials. It'd be cool to have this linger from course to the next upcoming course so 2nd and 3rd students would have the most up to date information. You could have a folder that contains archive materials but this would be an area that is always up to date, or maybe you could have the option of whether your course template has this evergreen course materials folder or whether leaders want it on a year by year basis. Leaders and admins of courses any thoughts?
2 votesCourse materials can now be more easily shared year to year. Leaders can now also delete and archive materials from their committee area and course material folders

You can currently "offer" more spots than are actually available GH 1152/1188
Fix course capacity so that you can only offer as many spots as are actually available for that course. Right now you can have 5 spots available but make an offer to 10 people on the waitlist.

Skill Badges SD312/313/415
Skill Badges: Documents skills (not courses) Mountaineers members have gained through Mountaineers courses OR that have been demonstrated to and vetted by Mountaineers Leaders.
How do skills interact with courses?
• Students can see what skills a course teaches
• Instructors can see what skills students have, and allow them to miss certain field trips if students already have those skills (at the instructor’s discretion)
• Skill badges help expedite equivalency, or negate the need for equivalency.How do skills interact with trips?
• Trips can add more detail to prerequisites. Students will be able to participate in Alpine Rock…4 votesAssigning “earned” skill badges for successfully completing an activity. This will be most useful for stewardship activities and clinics and seminars.

Create a new course content type better suited for our single seminar courses SD296
Create a type of content that is similar to courses but is more useful for the once a year, one-off seminars that we do. It would be connected to a route/place like activities but have course graduation function or the ability to add badges to it and mostly would be good for things like winter scramble seminars or pool sessions that are activities that have learning attached to them but aren't full fledged courses.

Fix Rolling Enrollment Date Structure
Make sure that you can set up a course for rolling enrollment that then closes after the course end date so if you have 8 workshops under one course header for 2014 you can start over in 2015 with a new course and 8 new field trips that don't get rolled into one. This helps avoid huge course rosters to maintain.

Registration Date/Time for Cancelled Students should change GH1755
When someone drops from a course, update the registration date to reflect the date of cancellation. Currently the original registration date remains in that field. This makes is hard to track when individuals drop from the course.
3 votesThis is very difficult to add to our website, so we now send this information to our or CRM, so that we can help as needed with refund processing and informing you of cancellation status. Please contact our Member Services Team at info@mountaineers.org, if you need any help with this.

bulk course roster management
Allow course admins to multi-select students for the purpose of mass cancellation/roster management. Note: the multi-select is already there, but I can't cancel/move all the selected registrants.
2 votesCompleted 12/8/14. Look for the blue button at the bottom of the course roster that says “Change Role or Expiration” This is what you can use to bulk graduate people or bulk extend a student badge.

Allow seminars to be displayed on the home page with events
Right now, even if you add the Home Page tag to a seminar it still doesn't show up on the Home Page when upcoming activities are shown. This has meant that I have to create a duplicate of the seminar as an event to get it to show up. This is a lot of extra work. Can we please be allowed to add the Home Page tag to seminars and have them come up on the Home Page?

Error Check for Instructor Requirement
Adding error check for adding and editing a course activity where instructors are needed but there is no instructor prerequisite badge will ensure that activities are set up correctly. This will ensure that members and guests who are qualified can register as an instructor and to be sure that only those who are qualified can register to be an instructor.
