Delete Invalid Attendance

Student attendance data can be made invalid after changes are made to a student's entry/withdrawal records and schedule. For example, if a student is withdrawing from school, the student may have been marked absent from courses before entry/withdrawal information was updated.

In most cases, invalid attendance will be removed when an administrator runs the Attendance Error Scan and selects to delete attendance errors. However, there may be situations that require you to review a student's attendance and delete the invalid records.

To clean up the invalid attendance, you must first display the student's invalid attendance records, and then delete them. Carefully, review attendance and make sure you only delete attendance that is invalid. After attendance records are deleted, there is no way to restore it.
