The **Hours** section displays all logged hours for the Student using the hour clock. These hours can be recorded automatically if the Student is using a configured hour clock, or added manually if needed. This is useful for tracking practicum hours, work placements, or any program that requires time-based reporting.

To enable hour tracking, hour clocks must first be configured under [Institution Config / Hour Clocks](docId\:sQTbZLcpU3Hwlh7OntgEQ).

At the top, you'll see the **Total Hours to Date**, followed by a list of all recorded entries showing the date, time in and out, break and penalty minutes, and total hours.
