State the issue in PS/Secondary/Interview, if you can't actually correct it, there is not much else to do than explain the situation.

A death certificate is a public record that should be readily accessible. In your case, a record of your flight should be sufficient. If you have a difficult time convincing your prof/the institution in question, what makes you think you will be successful in convincing ds that you have "wrongly received an F in orgo II"?

I would try and obtain flight records from the airlines!

just retake the class and get an A.. Explain during interview later if they ask

I wouldn't give up just yet. As other people stated, use the flight record, and anything else that you could think of that might help you. Re-taking the class should be the last option for you.

As others have said, there has got to be some way to prove that you were there.

Try going to your office of dean of students or student services or even counselor. Try reaching out now before it gets too late and be the squeaky wheel on the car. Maybe a relative who is on good terms with your father could get a copy of the death certificate and going along with everyone else I would try to supplement that with any other proof you have.

Try to exhaust all of your options and reach out to everyone you can.

If all else fails, look into re-taking the class and explain this in an interview.

theres no possible way you can't find ONE thing. Who booked your ticket to India? If you did then credit card statement? Taken any pictures whatsoever even of a building in india for proof with you in it? Its really hard to believe this story-especially because a trip to india takes about a day and a half to reach and a day and a half to get back- so you must of had to miss at least a week- and without a week of any notifications? Also- if your story is TRUE- if I were you, and you did well on all your exams, I would go to your professor and get a written signed copy stating these were my test scores for the first few exams that you did well on and then do a follow up with your story to show you had to miss your final. If you consistently did well on all your finals there shouldn't be a reason they don't believe you- and also you can get your professor to back you up. But- if its not true, of course it isn't possible.. just retake and get an A. If you did well on all your tests and told your professor you had an emergency situation come up I'm not sure why he wouldn't let you retake it.. hmm.

That goodness. I can totally understand having the inclination to panic in this situation... But I cannot understand shutting down and throwing my hands up in the air. I would have immediately looked into every possible way of getting this rectified. Teachers are people, after all; especially if you're a good student, they are willing to work with you. However, it is the student's responsibility to rectify a situation like this--not the teacher's!
