Help RE: unsatisfactory attendance

    I got an email to say that I have to meet my lecturer about unsatisfactory attendance. I read on the website that I may have to repeat the year. Can anyone tell me if this is a definite outcome?
    I have some mitigating factors - financial problems, family health problems, and a personal medical problem. The problem is that I can not provide certification for all of these things, just my own medical problem.
    Do they take these kind of factors into account?
    I'm a final year postgrad, I can not afford to repeat next year. If they do not take a kind view of my situation, I'm screwed. I'm worried sick.
    Please, if anyone can help, I'd be grateful.

    I got an NS for Hilary Term and my tutor told me that one has no serious effects. Basically just watch your attendance for the rest of the term and you should be fine. Also, ask for a report of your attendance 'cause it turned out mine was all wrong and I got it rescinded.

    I think your first is a warning or something. In any case they tend to be fairly sympathetic towards mitigating factors and general begging for mercy in my experience, though of course it depends on your course/school/tutor.
