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.

When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
