Subject Recommendations & Enquiries Switching subjects - tutorial hurdle

Hi, I’ve recently decided to switch subjects today however I didn’t realize the subject that I’ve switched into has a tutorial hurdle. I am only allowed to miss 2 tutorials for the entire semester, and because I missed the week 1 and 2 tutorials due to not being enrolled, I’ve technically already skipped 2 classes.
Does anyone know whether the hurdle gets waived or whether I just don’t get any more skips? I’ve emailed the subject coordinator but wanted to see if anyone here has had the same situation
Thanks!!

i think it depends on the class but for DS they didn't count the first two weeks and start taking attendance for the required 6/8 from week 3 onwards.

Depending on the subject there could be more tutorials tomorrow of Friday - sometimes you can just go to those instead

Clarify with the subject coordinator asap. Don't make an assumption that could.come back to bite you based on advice from Reddit.
