failing my course

You have missed two days of your course?
This is a non-issue.

Hi there,
It sounds like you did the right and responsible thing so I would not worry. Most unis nowadays have online resources and/or lecture recordings available to students to help you catch up if you ever have to miss anything - see if there's anything like this available to you.
I had a friend who had to miss a couple of uni days due to illness and she ended up still doing extremely well. And so as long as you submit things on time and catch up on what you've missed I'm sure you will be fine!
I hope this helps 🙂

Thank you so much for replying. They are going to fail me because of these absences even though I passed all my exams and handed in my coursework in time. As healthcare professionals they should know your not allowed to come in with diarrhoea and vomiting

Not a lot of this makes sense I'm afraid. You wouldn't be in danger of failing the course unless your attendance was poor.

That does seem a little excessive and very unfair and I'm sorry to hear you've been put through this. Is your personal tutor aware of this? Is there any way they can support you or guide you on what to do next?

I'm a PA student, I've passed all my exams. The problem is I had gastroenteritis which I caught from a patient on placement and had to miss two days of university week a few months ago. My university takes attendance and I submitted an absence form stating all of this and my university still put it through for additional considerations, It got rejected because I submitted the form late.

The problem is for the additional considerations, I didn't know how to go about it as it and contacted my department, they were no help. This was also around exam time and I was trying to revise instead of dealing with this ****. A girl from my class then showed me where you find the form.

I think considering I even had a discharge summary from A&E ad submitted an absence form on the day of both my absences putting it through to additional considerations was stupid. If I went in then others in my class would ahve become unwell

What do I do now?

If you missed the deadline then you’re now in the realms of needing discretionary action to reconsider your case.
But tbh, if you reached out to the university before the deadline and didnt receive a response or a confusing one, and you have medical records I think you are in a very strong position for reconsideration, I strongly recommend you engage your students union & your tutor and gather all evidence and make a clear picture how you were misled by university communications.
It’s still going to be discretionary but hopefully this would help. Is your tutor on your side? Get them to support you with your next steps if they are.

my whole department is useless
