Offer to scan it?

The marks need to be inputted by a certain time after the exam (can't remember if it's one week or two), and after that it's very difficult (though not impossible) to change it.

You're expected to be here right until the end of exams, so there isn't really special consideration for that, the same way people who live far away don't get special consideration if they have trouble with transportation to campus.

If it's past the date that marks are to be submitted, then I think you would have to go to the prof and it's a whole process to get the mark changed. This is why some courses have policies in place where you only have a certain amount of time to bring up mark discrepancies.
Given the hoops the prof will have to jump through to change your grade later on, they might be willing to take your word for it and change it now on the condition that you bring it in to show them when you return. It really all depends on how flexible they are.

Ombuds second floor student centre. Before that, ask your prof tell him/her the scneario

Yeahhh you're expected to be here available for the entire exam session, in case of shit happening, unfortunately. For example, if you've booked a vacation leaving on the 15th and your last exam on the 14th is moved back 2 days because of a snow day... tough luck, no special considerations.

Also that's unfair. I'm sure you've made typos and imputed things wrong on calculators before.

Craigolas, starfish like this.
