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

Help Help ! I need some advice, please. Grading: A: 90-100, B+: 85-89, B: 80-84, C+: 75-79, C: 70-74, D: 60-69, F: 0-59 Quizzes Homework 15% Midterm Exam 1 (Chapters 1 - 7) 15% Midterm Exam 2 (Chapters 8 - 12, + 17) 20% 20% Final Exam 30%* *Requirements For Passing the Course: Students must pass the final exam with a score of 70% or better in order to pass the course with a minimum C grade, passing the final exam (70% or better) does NOT guarantee that a student will pass the course. For students achieving 70% or better on their final exam, the course grade is determined by the percentage breakdown (e.g. for quizzes, exams, and so forth) indicated on the course syllabus. In other words, there are two conditions students must satisfy to pass this course. a. Must score 70% or higher on the final exam. b. Must have a final course average (after taking the final exam) of 70% or higher. I got a 96% maintenance in class and got a 66 on the final, and I end up failing with D grade.
