Fail Exception students - don't give up
If your grade has been deemed fail exception, it may be that you have misunderstood that Study Development Programme is compulsory or you had a timetable clash that you did not sort out. There are many reasons why people have not come to class but it does not mean that the College has written you off or that you must get out!
You can still pass term 1 by completing a very straightforward written assignment. You also need to join a class that you can attend regularly and show up for 90% of classes.
Come to the SDP office immediately and let's work things out together.
I have posted the assignment below for your information.
