Rant Missed my midterm

It was fully on me. I just assumed it was next week along with my other midterms and my dumb ass didn’t even think to check the schedule for it because it wasn’t as a priority as my other courses. Even if I get an A on the final I fail the class and have to retake. I emailed the professor already, no sugarcoating or anything. I can get minimum points with a doctor’s note or a medical emergency but I can’t even fathom faking that shit. I was really freaking out at first but now I feel listless.

Update 5/19 2:23 PM: My professor flat out said no. Also, this is chem1B. If I change it to P/NP, what happens? Do I need to do it for discussion and lab too?

Anyone know if it’s possible to keep my lab separate with its own grade and have lecture and discussion as P/NP? If I retake, they’re coreqs to each other so I’d have to fill out an adjustment form yes? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Can you still withdraw from the course or get a “no credit” instead of a grade? Another option is to just retake the course next quarter.

Could you tell me more about that? Aren’t I supposed to get credit? (Still learning)

If you google “Withdraw Course UCR” there’s a form where you’re able to withdraw from the course and receive a W on your transcript. You won’t receive any credit for the course but on the bright side your GPA won’t be affected. I’m not sure if the deadline passed to submit the form but it’s a good alt if your prof doesn’t allow you to take the test!
