# How studio reschedule policy works in Harmony
> Each studio sets whether students can reschedule or cancel, minimum notice, and monthly limits — Harmony enforces those rules on every self-serve change.

## Short answer
Configure policy once. Students only see open slots that satisfy notice and limits. Staff can always override. Email and .ics invites go out automatically.

## Controls
- Reschedule a single class
- Move a whole series (optional)
- Cancel (optional)
- Minimum notice before the class
- Monthly reschedule limit

## FAQ
### What can a studio control in Harmony's reschedule policy?

Per studio you decide whether students may reschedule a single class, move a whole series, or cancel — plus minimum notice before a class and a monthly reschedule limit. Admins and teachers can always act on a student's behalf.

### How does Harmony prevent double-booking when a student reschedules?

Students only see their teacher's genuinely open slots. Occurrence moves re-check the slot under a per-teacher lock so two people cannot claim the same time.

### Do teachers have to approve every student reschedule?

No. When policy allows self-serve, Harmony enforces the rules and notifies both sides with email and a calendar invite. Teachers can still move or cancel classes themselves anytime.
