This past April during my last semester at UA, the week before finals, I got sick and spent eight days in the hospital. I missed my finals, but all of my professors were very understanding. When the semester ended and they had to assign grades, they assigned me an "incomplete." They told me to take my time and that as soon as I felt up to it, they would let me make up my finals and would change my grade from incomplete to whatever I earned. I took them all in late May about two weeks late, but they told me that I didn't have to be in that big of a hurry. One of my professors told me that I could have all summer to make it up if I needed to.
If they were that understanding with me, I cannot imagine them not being equally understanding for TP, especially when he spent about three times as much time in the hospital as I did, and his injury was seen on national television. Due to the timing, his situation will be a little different than mine in that I only missed a week of classes and only had to make up my finals where he missed several weeks of classes and probably much more tests and assignments. But, I'm sure that we'll see them use the same kind of understanding and find a way to work something out with him the same way they did for me.
