OMGOMGOMGOMG....

I woke up late this morning and slept through my exam! WHAT DO I DO? Does this mean I'll get a zero in the course? And if they can somehow defer the exam to a later date, will my acceptance into a second year program be jeapordized? (Will I still get into the program that I want, with whatever average I have not includeing math?)...OMG...I WANT TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE D:

Calm down, go see the Associate Dean's office tomorrow, they'll straighten it out. Hopefully the professor is a nice guy/gal and will understand (you might want to embroider it a bit), you should be able to defer it until the summer or reading week.

Pretty much everyone is allowed to defer an exam without a good reason, is only once through your whole degree though.

It happened to me last term, and I was able to write it during reading week, no complications at all.

Edit: I just realized you're in engineering and I actually saved the link for your form because I gave it to a friend a while back.

just print this form, fill it in, and you should be fine.

You are screwed brother hahahah.

Kidding man, just do as these pople have said. Just defer the exam I believe you have till the end of the exam period (i.e. April 26th 2011) to submit the deferred exam form. The only downside is that you will have to write the exam at some point in the summer.

They told me to fill out a "student petition" form... before I can fill out the exam deferrel form...and wait for it to be approved. What if it doesn't get approved?! Has this happened to anyone else?

Don't worry about it. There's an 'unwritten rule' in place that everyone gets to miss one exam without a valid reason. You will get to write your exam. You just can't miss another one without a valid reason.
