ABSENT

My comment:

S'il s'agit seulement d'un élève qui n'a pas assisté à l'examen, il faut mettre " absent", si vous cherchez un mot qui globalise la qualité de faiblesse de l'étudiant dans plusieurs aspects, c'est plus adapté "défaillant"

students missing assessments

My comment:

Défaillant ne fait pas référence à n'impote quelle absence, mais seulement aux absences comptant pour les UV examens ou TD notés.

absent

My comment:

from the 3 you present, definitely ¨absent¨. but I would present it as "a student failing to attend the exam" (in your example). I think that fits much better.

According to the definition of some French universities, it is a student who was absent once during an exam or at least three times during "TD's" (practical) and who has to compensate for it in order to have a course unit validated.
