Need advice about attendance shortage before finals 😭

So I’m currently short on attendance in Business Math. We’re only allowed 12 hours absence and I’ve reached around 18 hours already. Finals are coming up and there’s only one class left after Eid.

I did try talking to the HOD earlier when my shortage was lower and he basically told me not to exceed 15 hours, but now I’m over that and I’m seriously stressed about whether I could get debarred.

The teacher is somewhat lenient from what people say, but I haven’t had the chance to properly talk to her yet because the next class is after Eid.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Do teachers sometimes allow students to sit in finals if they explain their situation respectfully, especially if assignments/quizzes are completed? Or once you cross the limit are you automatically cooked? 😭
