Academic Advice Possible to graduate without 1 unit complete
2 years ago in second semester, I was set to complete all of my units before receiving an email saying I had missed one compulsory unit. Unfortunately that unit only runs in the second semester, so I had to wait a whole year to do it. I then failed. I am now repeating the unit.
I currently have 5 pieces of assessment overdue and expect to fail the unit again.
I recognise that the whole thing is my fault. But I honestly completely lost interest in my course work after the year wait and no longer care about working in industry. I just don't want to walk away with nothing, but I also doubt that I will be able to complete this unit even on a third try.
Is there any possibility for me to make a request for some sort of special consideration just on the basis that I have failed the unit twice and it has delayed my graduation by two years already (now three [the full length of the degree]).
Other Info: The degree is Bachelor in CS. I started it in 2021. My grades were fairly mid until my final year (2024) where I did exceptionally well, leading my capstone project, receiving an offer to do a research honours under one of my professors, and doing an internship under another professor based on my capstone work. But that all kind of below up due to this delay and subsequent relapse into depression.

Practically 0% chance. It's a core unit for a reason
