grades

too many grades, too little time

Hey Aska,

Are there set deadlines for final marks to be posted each semester? After every final I find myself frantically refreshing my ROSI every hour for the next 2-3 weeks to see how I did. I feel like if I knew a set date they had to be available by, maybe I could just relax and wait for said date (who am I kidding? Probably not).

Thanks!!

Hey K

Sadly, no, there is not a set date for when final grades come out.

I can tell you that there are internal deadlines for faculty members to submit their grades following a final exam, but even those are flexible.

Honestly, your best bet is to wait a few weeks following your exam to save yourself some refreshing. I can tell you that for the S/Y grades of 2012-2013, the grades were set to come out “around May Two-Four weekend.”

So by that logic, about three weeks after an academic session seems reasonable for your wait time. I know that might seem disgustingly long, but with the many, many students with their many, many grades… yeah.

But if you’re lucky, your prof might have posted your grade on Blackboard!

Cheers!
