I'm doing a Masters at a university about a 3 hour commute from my house. It's a one day a week course with placement that I have sourced locally.
I have done very well in the first half of semester 1 distinctions in all 3 assignments. However I suffer from panic attacks so after a long battle to get to my final exam worth 20 percent I had to put in ECs.
Even without passing this exam I have passed the module although obviously I have been advised to resit.
The resit will be on the day of a further exam next year. Obviously I have just delayed the inevitable double panic.
I revised so much but this did not quell my panic. I have longstanding mh and currently investigating for borderline personality disorder because of constant feelings of dread self harm emotional instability etc etc
I have contacted the mental health advisor at uni who told me to contact programme lead and ask for an alternative assessment to exam due to medical reasons. I included diagnosis letters from GPS and psychiatrists about panic disorder and depression.
I got a reply back simply saying no and that exams were part and parcel of every day life.
I am so disheartened. I am in therapy but I know I will be unable to quell the panic for the upcoming end of Jan exams. I feel so sad that because of such a small percent of a module I will have to drop out.
I get that assessments have to be fair for everyone but I honestly believe that my mental health which is classed as a disability under the discrimination act has negatively impacted my progress.
I'm not asking not to be assessed just a different assessment.
The course leader is not approachable but I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to approach this or whether I would be unreasonable to drop out 
I have a PhD interview January so would perhaps have anither plan to go to but I feel like a failure really
