Makeup classes

Credits, requests and booking a student into another class.

A makeup credit lets a student attend one other class in place of one they missed. Everything is under Makeups.

Where credits come from

  • Automatically, when a student is marked Absent (or the family reports the absence in advance and the rules allow it).
  • By hand: Issue Credit lets you give a credit to any student for a semester, up to your Global Makeup Policy.

When a family asks for a makeup

A family can request a makeup from their portal at least 24 hours before the class they will miss. The request appears under Makeups. Approve it to book the student in (and confirm to the family), or reject it with a note and the credit stays available.
