# How do I set or change the booking and cancellation threshold?
## Set how close to a class members can book in or cancel out — on a single class or a whole series, from the calendar in Scheduling.
A threshold controls how close to a class members can **book into it** or **cancel out of it**. You can set it on a single class instance or on a whole series.
**Setting the threshold**
1. In **Scheduling**, open the class on the calendar and click **Actions**.
2. Choose **Edit Instance** to change just that one class, or **Edit Series** to change the whole recurring series.
3. In the **Bookings** section, set your **booking threshold** (how close to start time members can still book) and **cancellation threshold** (how close to start time they can still cancel without penalty).
**Threshold options**
The cancellation threshold can be set in **30-minute intervals from 30 minutes up to 12 hours**, and then **1, 2, or 3 days**.
**How the cancellation threshold works**
Once the threshold has passed, a member who cancels is treated as a **late cancellation**.
*Worked example:* with a **2-hour** cancellation threshold on an **18:30** class, any cancellation made after **16:30** counts as a late cancellation.
