Make an appointment with your academic advisor asap.

You guys worry too much. If you deferred it, then it's deferred, and whatever shows up on your grade report in the meantime doesn't matter. If it remained a 0 a few weeks after you wrote the exam, then I'd start to worry, but for now what's the point in worrying or talking to an academic advisor? What can they possibly do that will get anything useful accomplished?

Btw, I also got a 0 when I deferred an exam, but that changed to a "DEF" within a few days.

The mark that shows on your grade report for this course as of now, i.e., an F, is what you have right now out of the total hundred percent since the system calculates it like that. I am guessing your exam would be worth quite a lot which is why whatever you've scored in this course must be less than a 50 and so it shows as an F. Say if you had already completed evaluations worth about 75% of the total available grades in the course, you could be having a C or something like that on your grade report. So, just wait it out and it should change after you write the exam
