need some advice...
ok, so when the exam timetable came out i thought i would be okay but now im having major doubts and i don't know what to do because i feel like its too late...

April 9th: 9 a.m - Mol Bio 4P03 worth 55%
7 p.m. - Chem 2OB3 worth 50% (at minimum, with potential to be worth 75%)

Now i've come down with a BRUTAL rash and TERRIBLE sore throat/cough etc.

question: what do i do :(, it obviously doesn't pose a conflict in terms of exam scheduling because a conflict is only 3 exams in one day which this is not.

I didn't want to do anything about this earlier because i also really wanted to go to convocation this summer, but deferring one of those exams will not allow me to graduate...but then again neither would failing one of them :(:(

is this grounds for appeal at all?

Honestly there's nothing you can do. Me and a friend have a similar situation, on Apr. 11th we have stats at 2, then a major essay intensive exam at 7, my friend called the registrar and was told that 'many students have it worse than us and there was nothing they could do'

I know your situation is looking pretty tough right now but BELIEVE me i know exactly how you feel, im probobly worse off than you. I have exams the 7th, 2 on 8th, one on the 9th and than the 12th. To make problems even worse I had the flu for all of last week and i'm just coming around now. I essentially forced myself to study even though I just wanted to pass out most days. I've barely had anytime to study because of all of the classes i still have to go to and i cant pull all nighters since i start at 8 30 everyday. In other words what i'm trying to say is that you can pull through it. At least you have a lot of experience dealing with exams. I'm only in first year.

You have a week to study for two exams. Even if you still have assignments, we finish school on Tuesday (the 5th) which still gives you plenty of time to study. If you get better by tuesday, you will still have 2 solid days to study for each.
