# Adding a Client to a Makeup Class

A client wants to make up a lesson they missed? The easiest option is for them to [find a suitable slot themselves in the Client Panel](/en/client-panel/signing-up-for-makeup-class.md).

If the date was agreed individually or the client can't sign up on their own, you can record it in the system yourself. ActiveNow lets you do this in two ways.

## From the calendar

Select the lesson and click *Lesson details*. Find the *Making up absences* section, type the participant's name, and click *+Add*.

## From the participant's profile

Go to the *Participants* tab and open the participant's profile. Find the *Making up absences* section, click *Find a reclaiming date*, then click *Sign up for reclaiming* next to the lesson you want to add them to.
