Eligibility for Absences

Define how a student's eligibility to make up a class is assessed when an absence is recorded.

• Select with Each Absence - for each student absence recorded, select whether the student is eligible to make up the missed class or not.
• Always Allow Makeups - all student absences are automatically marked eligible for makeup.
• Never Allow Makeups - absences are never eligible for makeup.

Expiration

It's a common policy that students must make up a class within a certain time frame (such as 2 months). Save time and effort by setting the eligibility for all makeups to expire automatically after a designated time frame.

There are three options for setting expiration dates:

• No expiration - all makeups are eligible indefinitely, a student can always make up a missed class.
• Based on a time limit - set the eligibility for a makeup to expire after a number of days, weeks, or months. The eligibility expires at the end of the last day in the time frame.
• Until the last day of the session - a student's eligibility to make up a class expires at the end of the session the absence was recorded in.

When the current date is later than the makeup expiration date, eligibility is marked as expired, and a makeup class cannot be scheduled.

Before the eligibility has expired, a makeup expiration date can be edited to extend the date to accommodate for special situations, such as an extended illness. Optionally, update the makeup expiration dates for multiple absences during a specified time frame. See the Frequently Asked Questions below.

Class Makeup Group Size Limit

Select the number of extra spots you will allow in a class for makeups. If you don't want makeups to exceed the class maximum number of students set this to zero (0).

• Example - when the size limit is set to 2, the class max size is 10, and there are 8 currently enrolled students, there will be space for 4 makeup students (10 + 2 - 8 = 4).
