Meetups
Sign up for live sessions, attendance, and certificates in Learn.
What This Is For
A meetup is live or scheduled learning with one or more occasions (date, time, and location or online link). This page covers the learner path in Learn: choosing an occasion, confirming attendance, unattending, and what happens after the facilitator records results.
Facilitators and administrators confirm the official Attendance list in Follow Up—that step is not done inside Learn.
Who This Is For
Learners who sign up for occasions. Administrators and facilitators who run the session should also read Run a Meetup and Confirm Attendance.
Before You Start
- The meetup must be visible to you (or reachable from a program)—see Visibility in Learn.
- Meetups cannot currently be marked mandatory the same way courses can—administrators still assign visibility.
- Registration may close at a deadline; spots can sell out (No spots left, or a count such as 3 spots left).
Sign Up for an Occasion
- Open the meetup from Your library (filter Type → Meetup if needed).
- On the overview, choose Attend when you are not yet attending.
- In Select an Occasion, pick from Upcoming (and review Past Occasions when shown). Cards show date, time, location, and capacity chips such as 1 spot left or No spots left.
- Confirm the occasion. Success copy includes Attendance confirmed successfully! and may mention an email confirmation when your account can receive mail.
- While you are signed up, the primary action becomes View Occasion. Status can show Attending.
Occasion Details
From View Occasion / Occasion Details you can typically:
- Join Online Meeting when a link is provided (often available shortly before start—for example about 30 minutes before—or after attendance rules your organization set)
- Download Calendar Event
- See registration messages such as Registration open until…, Registration closed, or cancellation blocked after the deadline
Unattend
If cancellation is still allowed:
- Open Unattend Occasion (footer menu or occasion dialog).
- Confirm Unattend Occasion? / that you want to unattend.
- Your spot is released when the action succeeds.
After the Event
| Who | What they do |
|---|---|
| You (learner) | Attend the occasion; keep View Occasion for details. Learn does not replace the facilitator’s attendance list. |
| Administrator / facilitator | In Follow Up, open the meetup Attendance list, mark who attended, then Submit attendance list. After submit, the list cannot be changed. |
People marked as attended can reach a completed / Approved outcome in Learn when the meetup is configured to pass attendees. Certificate issuance, when enabled in Create, follows that approved result.
See Meetup Attendance and Run a Meetup and Confirm Attendance.
Retaking and Restart
Unlike courses, meetups do not offer a course-style Restart in the overview footer. Once you have a passing result, you generally do not retake the same meetup participation the way you restart a failed course. New learning usually means another occasion or different content configured by your administrators.
Certificates
When issuance is enabled in Create:
- You receive a certificate after attendance is confirmed through Follow Up and you are marked passing.
- Expiration and recertification are set on the meetup in Create.
- Download certificates from the Certificates app. Overview cards can show Renew when a certificate is expired or nearing expiry.
Results in Learn
Attendance and completion status show on the meetup overview in Learn. There is no separate course-style results chapter list for meetups—use the overview and Certificates for outcomes.
