Make-up class or makeup class ?

If so then "the teacher will schedule the make-up class soon."

If not the "the teacher will schedule the make-up classes soon."

I haven't checked the UK dictionary but I am certain that I'm correct for UK English. Therefore Nor Priest; to whom are you addressing? I see you are in the States, so CJ's answer would be the best for you.

Dear Nor,

According to Collins English Dictionary, it is "make-up class".

It all depends on the context of the type of class. Are you referring to an actual class on makeup, or is it the meaning that another exam to replace the previous can be scheduled?

For an exam to replace a previous one taken, you would say make-up.
