# Reporting an Absence and Signing Up for a Make-Up Lesson

Need to skip a class? Report your absence through the Client Panel — if your school has this option enabled and you are within the limit, you will be able to make up the lesson at a different time.

## Reporting an absence

After logging in to your [**Client Panel**](/en/client-panel/managing-account-in-client-panel.md), go to the ***Upcoming classes*** tab. Find the lesson you need to miss and click ***Report absence***.

After reporting, the system will let you know:

* whether you can make up the reported absence,
* whether the absence was reported on time,
* how many make-up opportunities you have left.

## Signing up for a make-up class

Once you have an available make-up credit, go to the ***Making up absences*** tab and select the lesson you want to attend.

To find the right class more quickly, use the filters to sort lessons by:

* day of the week,
* location,
* instructor,
* level.

Once you find a suitable lesson, click ***Sign up*** to confirm your spot.

In the same tab, in the ***My absences*** section, you can check how many make-up credits you have left, the deadline by which you need to use them, and a list of all absences you have reported.
