    Very possibly. Go to the counselling department about it...

    You should contact the Welfare Officer [Derek Daly]: suwelfare@ul.ie
    and the Education Officer [Aoife Finnerty]: sueducation@ul.ie about getting I-Grades.

    You definitely have a case for them imo, and the sooner you go about doing this the better.

    Its good that you are asking for help though. Dont fear, there are helps and supports available to you. :)
