now we have all used them at one time or another…spill the beans.
my best one was something lame about not feeling well and missing the mid term, the prof..said “u have to come up with a better excuse than that”. and i replied, " I could come up with much better excuses, but they will not be the truth"
did the trick
lolz theres no way on earth i am divulging mine :o
well...I just make a face like i'm about to cry and that usually is enuff...just a couple of indistinct words muffled in and i'm set :D
ps...fraudz...aren't u getting a bit over-zealous with ur college/finals threads....i guess it has u reminiscing about the "good ole days"
kyun?
okay here is another one..
told a prof i was suffering from clinical depression, and was trying to do the best I could to finish the semester.

No no if i was reminiscing about teh good old college days I would have opened threads in the corner room ;) oops its not there anymore.
See this was an attempt to get some more people to visit this forum instead of the usuals :) and guess what..it worked
:nono: thats more than I wanted to know :D…actually I come here quite often..i just don’t post, i try to sit back and learn from the rest of u experienced guppies
one of my friends who couldn't complete her assignment in a week of holidays ;
'meri mangani hoi hey sir...itney saray guests they aye hoay..keh nahi ker sari'
ek term mein kharab result tha mera...my excuse was..keh...'ham ghar shift ker rahay they' ...didn't work :(
I should've used that 'behan ki shadi' wali :D
i know a guy who said he found out that his gf was pregnant and couldn't get over the shock and had arguments with her all week long cuz they both wanted diff things :D
One of my friends asked me to stay after class with him while he talked to the prof about the final the following day. Since he wasn’t prepared, he requested to take it two days later. The prof asked him why.
My friend said so seriously, “My grandmother died yesterday.”
The prof just looked at him and said “Again?”
Nowadays they ask for documentation that supports why you want to defer the exams. With the whole process of going through administration (a turn off) and what not, i’ve now managed to keep a standard letter head filling in the blanks and submitting it. 
It works like a charm when needed. The acting that comes along with it and it does help to have another contact in case the univ wants to corroborate the story, thats why we have counsellors 
you tell em your ‘story’ and they “help” you out Other times when getting a grade i.e. C instead of a B, I challenge the prof a few times and took it to the head of the dept. even though didn’t do much in the boring course, a week later and oh no :o whats that is that a B+ i see
Disclaimer: do not try this on your own unless you possess the expertise and resources
another trick of the trade..try at er own risk
get some shaving gel..edge works best..put a lil dab in each eye right before u go to see the prof..eyes become red and watery, sting a lil..go tell him u have pink-eye... usually buys u a week.
:D
larki punjaban..i was kiddin bout the corner room deal, I was a seedha saadha parhaizgaar college student :)
Well, I got a good one. One of my marketing classes had 20% of the grade for class participation. This class was 8.30 am and I used to wake up at 10 am. So I'd just sit there with a huge cup of coffee during the class while i woke up. At the end of the semester i went up to the professor and said, "I don't speaka the good angraizi, so very embarrassed to speak in center of class". That got me the 20%.
I once told my prof I suffer from anxiety, depression and panic attacks 
but this was over the phone, so lying was easier. Other than that, I really cant lie, and usually I end up begging and pleading with them, and admitting that Im lazy, procrastinating dimwit, and please would they give me an extension.
My best friend however has never in her 5 years at uni given in something on time, and she has gone to great lengths, usually using her mother. Once she said that her mother had undergone a double bypass and the prof asked for a medical certificate and doctors note. she had another friend of mine fake it, and she had to make multiple copies of it, and she used it. The doctors letterhead was original though. I dont know how she never got caught. It still makes me shudder to think how she got away with that.
That’s a first very creative of you…
I know I hate the fact that they ask for documentation, it makes it all the more painful…this way you have to become faithful to every class, otherwise go injure yourself for proof!

well, a little bit of liquid soap in the eye will turn it red big time, no danger from what I have been told, but docs will not doubt that it is a case of conjunctivitis (pink eye).. works very well.
fraudia! :k:
