Add text in manage registration window regarding activities that have closed GH1256
If you get off a waitlist for a field trip and want to remove yourself from one that is already closed it is not clear how to do that from the manage registration window for course related activities.
Please add a tag line to the red text that exists already saying registration has closed to make it say.
Registration closed Mar 11 5:00 pm. Contact leader to be added or removed from roster.

Close registration for courses that were created before registration close date field existed GH 1148
Is it possible to close registration for all courses that happened last year. The default when we added registration open and close dates to courses was to have them perpetually open which has meant we have had a handful of these incorrect sign ups.
From Jeff- The best fix actually might be blocking registration for a course whose end date is in the past.

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.
