Entering your Learning Centre's holidays 

Before you can enter any attendance confirmations, you must enter your Learning Centre's annual holidays on the Learning Centre Portal. This ensures that the 'two day rule' for the start of the academic year is met when deciding which weeks qualify as EMA learning weeks.

You can use the Holidays tab of the Learning Centre Portal to enter your holidays. You must add all your holidays, including summer holidays, for the upcoming academic year before it starts in September. You can add holidays from May.

The holidays must be at least 8 weeks in total. You will not be able to confirm any attendance for students until you've entered this.

You can override the 8 week minimum at student level if there are exceptions. For example, this may apply to a student who attends a placement during holidays as part of their course.
