Attendance student left early

[HelenDevereux]

Is there a way to mark a student who has left early from class?  I see that a student can be marked late, but not that they were present at the start of class and left.

Hi @HelenDevereux !

Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

No, this is currently not a feature with the Attendance tool within your course. I recommend reaching out to your administrator to see what action should be done if a student leaves class early.

I hope this helps!

All the best,
Noah

Hi @HelenDevereux,

I would encourage you to look into the possibility using a combination of "badges" in the Roll Call Attendance feature, along with the "late" status.

How do I use Roll Call Attendance badges in a course?

I hope this helps you.

Is it possible to mark a student excused in attendance?

Hi @ChalethiaWillia,

You can do this by creating/adding a badge and then assigning it to a student on that day.

That is explained in the How do I use Roll Call Attendance badges in a course? - Instructure Community - 993  guide.

If you work with your institution's Canvas team, they can create/add badges at the account level using the How do I add Roll Call Attendance badges to an account? - Instructure Community - 230  guide.

You would then be able to view reports using the How do I run Roll Call Attendance reports in a course? - Instructure Community - 1023  guide.
