I've never had a problem with missing school before, as none of my classes had attendance requirements. This year, however, I decided to take a few easy/fun classes... and lo and behold, they suddenly have attendance requirements. Because I have two interviews, I'll be missing two of the three days allowed. If I hit three days, I'll be dropped from the classes and get a lovely bunch of F/Ws on my transcript, lose a full scholarship, and I'll be unable to graduate with honors and write my thesis.
I've already sent emails and talked to the professors involved and haven't gotten a concrete answer from any of them as to whether they'll excuse my absences. I've also contacted my advisors and, predictably, haven't heard back. Obviously, I don't want to reject an interview if I'm lucky enough (fingers crossed) to get another...
Has anyone else had this problem/how did you resolve it?
