i worked at the campus bookstore during the before school started and during the first week of classes. As a requirement to work there we had to miss class the first few days. Only once did I go to a class and that was because I was trying to get in (as in get a spot that might have been dropped by another student) This never hurt me as far as grades went. I usually found someone (or had a friend) whose notes i would copy. I made it a point to ask around about the proff and see what missing the first days of class would mean, as in if they gave specific info to the class that I would need. This was never a problem for me and I usually never told the professor that i missed their class except my senior year when the classes were small (as in 20 or less students). I did not tell them why, but explained that I missed the class and that I copied someones notes. Usually proffs though it was weird that I told them, but I did not want to get a reputation for missing class.
My point is that the first week is not as important as the rest of the weeks, I would try and find another section of the class and see if you can attend that section, if not get notes from someone. Also, talk to panhel, they should have ways to deal with this. Goodluck
