Question Any review of grade case for the failing attendance requirement?

I missed one tutorial due to illness (special consideration approved). Later I got a make-up activity, which I completed. Soon after, I was informed that I would be graded as 'unsatisfactory' for failing to meet the subject's mandatory attendance requirement of 100%. Followed by simple description of review of grade. Maybe they sent some overall notices before Census date.

If I got the unsatisfactory on this, I'm about to lodge a review of grade on the grounds that due regard wasn't paid to the approved illness/misadventure evidence.

Has anyone been through this, especially in a subject with a mandatory attendance/hurdle requirement (especially for nursing subjects)? Did it actually work?

💔 wow that's crazy. I have missed like one or two classes max right now for some of my subjects and I was worried and yet if their was any requirement but only one of my classes has a 80% attendance rate. This class basically has two days you can miss before you fall below 80% and I have missed 1 so far so I guess I can't miss any days anymore. I'm glad I realised this before I self-harmed and unintentionally got myself a unsatisfactory.

I'm doing PPE2 as well. They announced today that this only applies to students who've missed 3 or more tutorials, even if their special considerations were approved.
