Stress Mitigating

Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 in Weight Management

HELP! Missed an exam re-sit today because I thought it started an hour later than what it did!!!?

I had a re-sit exam earlier today which I arrived @ 2.10pm and wondered why everyone had started, turns out exam start 1.30pm!!! Because I was over '30 mins late' I was told I couldn't sit it now because of exam rules and must speak to my tutor asap. I went to my campus but my tutor and programme director are both on leave and no secretaries were available.
I have already had mitigating circumstances for 2 x modules due to being in hospital for 2 months last year but now i'm really stressing it's my first year of uni and I really don't want to have to re-sit the whole year again, has anyone on here missed an exam (not illness related) i'm not sure whether to get a note from my doctors to say I was ill but then I don't know if this will look bad. Really not sure what to do :(

I work in education and sadly you have no recourse on this

any sick line would need to have been in on the day of the exam,plus if you actually turned up, albeit late, you can't claim sickness was the cause for missing the start time
Also it is your responsibility to check exam times, not just once but several times in case any alterations had been made around time and location
Also if you had checked with your fellow students they would have confirmed the start time

Re-sit exams are notoriously underattended and any non-attendance or late coming is hugely frowned upon
