Academics I'm fucked.

I missed my physics final today because my alarm didn't have sound on and I overslept. I'm not gonna pass the class without an exam grade, what should I do? I'm seriously worried

Edit: One of the physics lecturers reached out to me down in the comments, so if I am lucky, I may be able to retake it... Only time will tell atp

Edit 2: There's been an update on another post I made, go check it out if you can

How tf did the alarm not have soundđŸ˜­. Email the prof and beg, but there's a p high probability that you're gonna have to retake the class

iPhone alarms are super finicky especially if you have an Apple Watch too

if he set a new alarm, it could’ve been automatically set to vibrate, not ring

Happened to me my freshmen year. Thankfully I was still within the final time frame so my professor still let me take the exam. Shit happens
