The excused feature in CampusDirector allows campuses to schedule a PNM for an event but notify the chapter that they will not be present. The advantage of excusing the PNM from an event is they will still be able to rank that chapter and the chapter will be able to invite them back. The cancelled feature will ensure a PNM is not scheduled for that event.
If you want to know more about the cancelled feature, check out the article on cancelling PNM events.
To excuse a PNM from an event, follow these steps, note this can happen before or after scheduling the round.
1. Go to the round (you will find it on the left hand side of the page of CampusDirector). Note, this is not available for Open House rounds.
2. Click "Tools" and select "Cancel or Excuse Event for PNM"
3. Select the PNM you want to excuse from an event.
4. Select excused for the selected events.
This will then appear on both the PNM and Chapter schedule for the event they were excused for. See example below.
Again, if a PNM is excused THEY WILL be able to rank that chapter and that chapter WILL be able to invite them back to the next round.
