They're well known for being unreasonable and completely non-understanding with any personal reasons for lateness - including illness. Completely unacceptable. Good luck with this mate.

Rules are made for the guidance of wise men and for the obedience of fools ( in this case the university have obedient to their rules like fools )

This is absolutely horrible. When my aunt died my uni gave me a 2 week extension and said I could have had longer. It's unfair for the uni to put so much pressure on people in time of grief.

It's called 'compassionate' leave for a reason!

Having worked for 10 years in pastoral care for students for two universities I am shocked there isn't a more flexible approach to students and bereavement leave. Many organisations offer students in their final year multiple options to ensure they graduate with their cohort.
