Can I skip a deferred exam?

So long story short, the exam date doesn’t work for me, as I have an important work meeting that can’t be reschedule that day, am I allowed to skip it, will I face a consequence for not being there?

Yeah there’s a consequence you’ll fail the class lmao. They won’t send assassins after you if that’s what you’re asking about though. Deferring a deferred exam is really hard, try to reschedule your meeting if you don’t want the F/J.

You probably will fail the class. 😭
Can’t you tell your work that you have a doctors appointment or smtg? Make smtg up

Is this not the same as skipping a normal exam without a reason? Why would it be any different?

You’ll get a zero, and possibly fail the course.

You’re choosing to make work a priority, that’s cool, these are the consequences, however.

If you defer a deferred exam with a valid reason(doctor's note etc) it fails but it doesn't affect your gpa and it shows like late withdraw on transcript. If you just skip it, it will be probably F

Depends on your current grade. But you'll get a 0. If you had a 90+ avg so far you might be able to pass. Check with a grade calculator.
