# How to use student leaves

When a student knows ahead of time that they will not be able to attend a lesson, the admin or student can create a leave.

Creating a leave for a student will automatically mark a “Leave” on the attendance for a teacher, which excuses the student for that lesson, and teachers can’t mark them absent.  Leaves must be set before the lesson starts.  



1. If the Enrollment type is **Hours** then usually students can make up this lesson at a later day and time if any makeup lesson was added. 

2. For **Tuition** then it is used as an accurate way of taking attendance, instead of marking absent.
