Yeah, I guess there's a difference. You could always say that your character took the final, even if they did. Obviously we can't force participation, and I would never do that.

If it's more of a specific IC situation where the student refuses for some reason... you could determine the consequences yourself. It could either be something I suggested above, or something else you come up with.
