I forgot to tell you today that I won't be in class on Friday because we are leaving for a track meet. What do you want me to do about the test? Was looking over the syllabus and remembered we have a test on Friday. Can I take it on Monday during your office hours? Or is that too late?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you need me to take it tomorrow at sometime, I can do that too!
Thanks,

The professor's response:
[student name]:
According to my records, you have 83 out of a possible 300 points in my class so far, which is about 28%. In addition, you have come to my class so infrequently I don't think I could pick you out of a lineup, so I think it is likely you won't do very well on this test either.
So, while I am obligated to make accommodations for you if you have a meet on Friday, I doubt it is going to matter. I think you are going to fail this class anyway.
Let me know what you want to do.

UPDATE: Anyone place any bets on this one? The professor reports that the student did take the exam, and did fail it and the course.
