Assigns a zero in the points category (color-coded).
Excused (Exempted): Excludes the absence from the overall attendance score calculation.

GradingGrading
Session-Based Grading Column is the most straightforward way to add attendance to your Grade Center. Once enabled, you must choose whether to grade attendance based on Total Points or Points Per Session.
Total Points - defined by the total number of points that attendance will be worth for the course. (If Total Points is defined as 100, a student with 2 Presents and 2 Absents will have earned 50 points out of a possible 100),
Points Per Session - defined by the total number of points earned for each recorded session (If Points Per Session is defined as 5, a student earns 5 points for every time they are marked Present for a session).
Absence-Based Grading - will add or subtract attendance points every time a student is marked absent.
