I am not able to attend my class because I'm late

During my college days I am late when it's discussion time but NEVER in exams( i lIve just walking distance from the school. You're living away from your school so you need to catch up because of traffic. I know it's hard but you should have to. Wake up more earlier or try to live near the school, like rent a room. It's exam week and my brother had that experience just last Monday. He woke up early but he slept back so he wasn't able to take his major exam. Thank GOD his teacher was late so the exam wasn't finished and to be continue the following day. His alibi was he went home (3 hours away from school) to get his tuition fee. And the teacher allow him to take the exam. So please make a valid excuse. :)

You dont have control over traffic, so better meet your teacher and try to convince him/her, hope it might be effective, can i know what course you study? Welcome to mylot.. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

hello gid..., I am sad for you. In my city the traffic is heavy, too. I think you should talk with your teacher about that and you can do exam twice.

Im sorry about that gidz! I know that always happens if you live in a big city where rush hour is really bad. Maybe you can still go back to school, talk to your teacher to take a special exam, just face the truth. I think it is better to see your teacher than being there at home doing nothing. It just prolong the agony.

First thing gid , it z understandable . U don't need to bother as if it was ur mistake .... Explain ur teacher if she can help u out , if not forget about it . Don't think too much to mingle u ... It happens with everyonein traffic held cities , in every students life . ... Chill out .. Next time make Sure that u set out early for any exam ....... All the best , this ain't final ..........

Just approach your professor or teacher on what happened to you. I know they will understand. Ask on what to do in order to cope up with the quiz you missed. I have tried to do this to my professor and they usually make me come to their other class schedule just to take the quiz. Good luck and God bless.

Can you call your teacher and let them know when you're going to be late? It might be better to wake up even earlier. Or change your housing situation so that you're closer and can get to school on time. It's really important to be able to get to school in a timely manner so that you can go to all your classes and be sure to get all your grades.

i think it`s your fault after the class time, you must see your lecturer and apalogize for your fault just ask if he or she gives her or his charity for you to take the quiz too

Oh that's sad, gids. Can you not talk to your professor to consider your excuse? I think he/she will know that it is traffic alright if you tell him your route. So next time, have an allocation for traffic if you will be having an examination. It's better to be early than late in such a case.

Way back in college, I used to come to school late too. Hehehe.. But I am always taking a record of how many times I entered the classroom late because attendance is such a big deal in our school. When you entered the class late for 3 consecutive meetings, that will be considered 1 absent. If you reach 3 absences in a grading period, you will be dropped from the class. So, I always make sure that I won't reach the maximum number of absences because I'm so afraid of failing. My mother will scold me for sure. I think, you must wake up a little bit early than usual because inevitable things might come your way and your reasons will not be valid for your professor. :)
