# What happens if I miss a class?

## If you miss a lesson at LanguageBird, here’s what to expect and how you can manage your schedule moving forward.

**Missed a lesson? Check your status.** 

If you miss your class, your instructor will mark it as **Absent** in MyLanguageBird. You’ll see this reflected on your **Lessons** page with an "Absent" tag. 

You will also receive a notification via email. 

 

**Rescheduling lessons** 

If you know you will be absent 24 hours or more in advance, to avoid a fee or forfeiture of the lesson, you need to reschedule. Follow these steps: 

- Go to the **Calendar** or **Lessons** page.
- Find the missed lesson.
- Click the three dots next to it and select **"Reschedule."**

You’ll be able to choose a new date and time based on your instructor’s availability. 

If no times work, choose **“Add after my last scheduled lesson”** to move the session to the end of your program. 

 

**Know the Policy** 

**Instructional Lessons:** Being tardy, missing, or rescheduling a lesson less than 24 hours before the start time will result in a $100 fee. 

**Tutoring, Conversational, Test Prep, and Mastery Lessons:** Being tardy, missing, or rescheduling a lesson less than 24 hours before the start time are not rescheduled or refunded. 

Visit our [Late Reschedule/Tardy/Absence Policy](https://help.languagebird.com/what-is-languagebirds-lateabsent-policy?hsLang=en) for full details.
