Ouch, sucks to hear that. One of my greatest fears back when I was at college (which I still dream happening even when I have graduated years ago) was sleeping through a midterm or a final. What I discovered back then and do now is to set my phone to ring at multiple times, with 15 minutes separating between each time. So, if I have to wake up at 8:30, I would set my phone to ring at 7:45, 8:00, 8:15, and 8:30. It works pretty well at not making me oversleep past whenever I'm supposed to wake up.

Hmm, I just remembered that I also prevented oversleeping in really important dates by drinking lots and lots of water so that I would wake up early to take a gigantic piss. Ah, the wonders of college life.
