What casual and term enrolment are
Casual entry and term enrolment are two ways a customer pays to take part in a class or use a facility.
Casual entry is a single paid visit. The customer pays for one session, with no ongoing commitment, and is free to come back or not. It suits people who want to attend occasionally or try a program before committing.
Term enrolment books a learner into a block of classes for a term. Rather than paying per visit, the learner holds a place in a recurring class across the term and is billed for that block. It suits structured programs where progression matters and a place needs to be reserved week to week, such as learn-to-swim.
The practical difference is commitment and billing. Casual entry is per visit; term enrolment reserves a place across a term and is billed as a block.
Casual and term enrolment in the Cohiva platform
Cohiva Complex handles both. Casual entry is recorded as a single paid visit through point of sale, while term enrolment places a learner into a class for the term and sets up the billing for that block. Because both run in one platform alongside bookings and class scheduling, an operator manages occasional visitors and enrolled learners from the same system rather than two separate tools.
