    what course are you doing?

    it would depend a lot on what course you are doing eg. if it is a culinary course typically you have to do restaurant service, so if you're not there = no grade.
    or a lot of the sciences have mandatory attendence for labs and if you miss more than a specified number you may start losing marks.
    if you are in engineering you may have autocad which is typically 50% attendance.

    so, as rino axed whats your course?

    why have you been missing for 10 weeks?

    I'm in Comp Games Dev in ITCarlow: I did the same thing in my first year but I had good reasons that I took up with my Mentor's and the Counsellor.

    If you need to do the same I suggest you do it now because this is the make or break point of the year.

    Depending on how your course and year is graded its very doable: in my case there are enough marks in the final exams to warrant a pass. If you have that benefit and youve done ANY work in the year, then yes, you have a chance. Buckle down and study like you've never studied before. Tesco Kick is your friend.

    Accounting is not really a subject ppl can afford to be missing for ten weeks for unless your in first year or are really good at said subject.If you had good reasons for the absence then i would do what overheal suggested

    I am sure you will be fine if you cram. My G/F is doing ACCA at the moment (nearly qualified) and has crammed the whole way through.

    College is even easier, you just need to put in a few 12/14 hr days for a couple of weeks coming up to the exams
