A few weeks from now, you have a trip, a doctor's appointment or a meeting you can't move. You want to settle it today and stop thinking about it.
Until now, only your next class
Until now, you could only cancel your next class. So you had to write it down somewhere and remember right before. Planning ahead shouldn't work against you.
Giving notice early now counts
We know your schedule doesn't always fit the course's. So your notice follows the same cancellation rules you already know, with one difference: it counts from the day you give it. Tell us weeks ahead, and it's notice given weeks ahead.
Three steps to report an absence
1. Open your course's classes. On every class after the next one, you'll see the "Report an absence" button. For your next class, keep using "I can't attend".

2. Confirm your notice. If your course allows it, choose whether you want to make up the class. Your teacher sees your notice in their planner.

3. Changed your mind? Undo it. The class shows "Absence notified". Until the date shown there, tap "I can attend" and your notice is gone.

Report your next absence
Open your course from My courses and find the class in the Classes tab. Go to my courses
If you don't report it, nothing changes: the class stays on your calendar and your teacher's as if you were coming.
Your calendar, sorted
On the day of that class, nothing is left hanging. Your teacher already knew, the class is on record as notified, and you're back at the next class with nothing to sort out.
