Assigning and Registering Students to FlexTime Activities

FlexTime in Minga supports student self-registration, as well as manual registration or assignment by staff. Here's how each method works:

How Students Self‑Register for FlexTime Activities

(If Periods and Activities are configured to allow it)

• Go to My Tools → FlexTime → Register for the period.

• Pick an activity and click Register.

• Students will see activities only if both:

  1. The Flex Period has Allow students to self-register toggled ON

  2. The Activity Template has Allow Students to Register ON

• If a registration deadline is active and passed, students see a "Past Deadline" message and cannot register.

Switching a Student to a Different Activity

1. Navigate to FlexTime → Activities.

2. Set your date range and choose the correct period. Search activity if needed.

3. Click the Manage Students icon for the activity, go to Register or Assign tab.

4. Remove the student from their current activity by checking the box next to their name, and clicking remove, then add them to the new one. Search by name or ID. Click ADD.

5. If the student was Assigned rather than Registered, only users with a Manager or Owner role can switch the activity.

Registering or Assigning Students

Option 1: From FlexTime → Activities tab

1. Select date and Flex Period.

2. Click Manage Students on the activity.

3. Choose Register (student can still change if self‑register is enabled) or Assign (locked in).

4. Search by Student ID or name, then click ADD.

5. If a student is already assigned elsewhere, you’ll see a warning before committing

Option 2: From MyClass

1. Navigate to MyClass 

2. Ensure your desired user list (class list) is selected from the dropdown menu in the top-left

3. Select the student(s) you'd like to register or assign to a FlexTime activity
4. Choose FlexTime from the category drown-down menu on the right, and select either Register activity, Assign Activity, or Register to homeroom teacher's activity
   
   
   

Automatically register students to their homeroom

1. Go to Reports → FlexTime Unregistered Report

2. Apply filters for date and Flex Period.

3. Select unregistered students and click Register to Homeroom.

4. Minga auto-assigns students to their homeroom activity or a default if none exists

FlexTime Restrictions: Keeping Things Organized & Safe

All assignments/check-ins respect these rules automatically:

• No Party Groups: prevent students from registering or being assigned alongside others in that group. Can also apply to hall passes.

• No Registration List: blocks selected students entirely—they can’t self-register or be placed in any activity.

• Teachers get instant alerts if trying to place restricted students; students simply won’t see blocked options
