I don't know, I doubt it though.

You might have a case, but you are relying on extenuating circumstances. You need to contact your school and programme office. I'm assuming you haven't submitted an extenuating circumstances form yet, you should contact your school about that ASAP. Sometimes a late application can be accepted. You need to contact them immediately and see what they say.

You should read this page about appeals:
http://www.ucd.ie/appeals/exam_appeal.htm

Assessment Appeal

** N.B. Appeals will only be accepted on the basis of FINAL results. You cannot appeal appeal a provisional result. The final date for receipt of Semester 2 2010/11 applications is NOON, TUESDAY 20th JULY 2011**

ii) In the first instance, appeals of this nature must be dealt with at School level by submitting an Extenuating Circumstances Form to the Programme Office. The Assessment Appeals Office can only accept an appeal on this basis if it has already been dealt with by the Programme Examination Board (PEB) or by the Dean. Appeals of this nature can be accepted if the PEB did not appreciate the seriousness of the extenuating circumstances OR if the Dean rejected your extenuating circumstances application because you did not submit the form on time and the Dean did not consider your reason for late submission to be valid.

In the context of an appeal, extenuating circumstances refer to a serious and unforeseen event in which you suffered from an illness or some personal or family trauma around the time of the assessment of which the examiners were unaware. You must have original medical certificates / police reports (etc.) to support your case and the illness or trauma must be shown to have affected you in the assessment itself or in the period immediately leading up to it.
