makeup day

Rescheduled class session

A makeup day is a scheduled opportunity to complete something that was missed—typically an exam, class session, or work shift.

Schools announce makeup days after weather closures; students request makeup exams after illness.

The district added two makeup days in June to compensate for snow days.

The term implies rescheduling rather than permanent loss.
