Absent from Training

What “Absent from Training” means

You may be marked absent if any of the following happen:

  • You do not attend training and do not cancel before 8 a.m. on the day of class.
  • You miss additional days of multi-day training without notice.
  • You leave training early without telling the trainer.

How to cancel training

To avoid being marked absent, use one of these options:

  1. Log into the VLC and cancel through your Current Training
  2. Email dsslearnersupport@dss.virginia.gov before 8 a.m. and include the class name.

What not to do

  • Do not call or email the trainer to cancel. This will not update your enrollment.

What happens if you are absent

  • You and your supervisor will receive an email notification.
  • The absence will be recorded on your training transcript.

Tip

Cancel early if your plans change. This helps keep records accurate and allows others to take your spot.
