Today, four hours before a test, I received an email from my professor saying that the test had been canceled. When I checked my email again before bed, I found another email from my professor saying that his email had been hacked and the test was was still on. FML

Should the professor not be sympathetic due to the fact nobody lives on their emails anymore? I think he should postpone the test.

The professor basically has to offer a second sitting of the test (but not for the hacker, if found), especially since he acknowledged the counterfeit email in his follow-up email.

I'm a uni student and I check my e-mails at least once a day most days. Not obsessively but if I'm on the computer I'll check them. We had a similar situation once during the ash clouds last Easter. The lecturer for a practical couldn't make it so they cancelled it at 9, the practical was at 1. Luckily I rechecked my e-mail before 1 and saw the e-mail they sent at 10.30 saying it was back on but a lot of people didn't. I don't know what they did about it but I know a lot of people who saw the first e-mail and decided to go out for the day since it was nice weather. OP, I hope they sorted it out so you could retake it. It's not your fault you didn't check it in those 4 hours.

Why were you going to bed four minutes before a test?

They weren't. The FML said they received the email 4 HOURS before the test and that they didn't check their email AGAIN until before bed.

If it was a spelling test then you should be glad it got "canceled".

"Canceled" is a perfectly acceptable alternate spelling of "cancelled." It's more common in American English. I work with customer purchase orders for a living. "Canceled" is by far more common than "Cancelled" when customers ask not to have their orders processed.
