You can go above the professor’s head for that stuff. When I was in undergrad and when I was doing the masters at GaTech, it was common for professors to say up front that if you missed assignments or tests for a valid reason, you had to go through the university (I forget what office).

Edit: It’s called the office of student life.

They handle dealing with all excused absences. The professor could have responded and told you about this, but I’m assuming it’s just that no one got back in under 24 hours. It’s also expected that you read the syllabus and know this stuff already.
