Ok I'm currently attempting to write up my thesis, which is an EPSRC Industrial CASE award.

I've just been informed by my university (after having no contact with them for about 4 months, and my supervisor not returning my emails for longer than that) that I have failed due to non submission.

My question is what happens now? as I'm part of an industrial CASE award do I have to pay any of the funding back??? I am desperately trying to get something that I can submit in and I did ask for an extension before my deadline but heard nothing, and as this is the ground state of my universities communication I, stupidly I know, assumed that I had the extension I requested.

I'm so stressed by all this ( and I'm sorry if this vent makes little sense) I genuinely do not know what to do.

Any ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated.
