# Tracking Absences in Learning Events (Admin/Faculty)

* In some organizations, attendance is tracked by learning event (not by day). In this case, attendance can be recorded on the [Attendance tab](https://docs.elentra.org/learn-elentra-me/event-pages/attendance) of a learning event page.
* Any student whose absence is approved will have a comment in the Notes section of the Attendance tab indicating such. They should still be marked absence by de-selecting the tick box. This will be recorded on their dashboard as an “Approved” absence.
* If a student reaches the maximum number set by the staff:admin during set-up, a notification will be sent to the staff:admin’s dashboard. Follow-up can then occur.
