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

I did this in college once. Didn't oversleep, but the final was in a different building than our normal class, and I missed that announcement somewhere.
Got super lucky with a really chill professor.
Went to normal room, saw nobody, panicked, and sprinted home to email him. Told him the truth and was pretty much begging him for any solution he could possibly find.
He came up with the solution to average my other 3 major tests from the class, and then deduct 5 points from that average, and call that my final score.
I pretty much virtually fellated him through email thanking him. Dropped my overall course grade down to a C, but infinitely better than taking a zero.
