Grades Not Up Yet
What's taking them so long to post my marks? It's already half way through May and only 2/5 of my exams have been graded. Anybody else have this problem?

Lol, we know. There's been multiple topics on it now. Either way, registrar says May 31st, so we can't do anything about it.

No problem. Only 2 weeks to go! (Or, just email your prof and ask for mark )

Know if Chen would do that? I really don't think he would, to be honest.

Do you think they'd share any of Psych 1XX3, Chem 1AA3, Phys 1L03, or first year Econs?

From what I've heard and past experience profs are technically not supposed to release your final grade in any way directly to students. Last year I remember there was a problem with my programming prof releasing final marks to students. Once word got around that he was releasing marks he was flooded with emails and such and the course coordinator got wind of it and stopped it. Final exam marks are ok however to be released I think so if you know all your grades and the weighting on each one its easy to calculate yourself.

Yeah, they probably will get flooded, but if your one of the first few you should be fine. Or if you have a valid reason.

Dear Registar at 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Ontario:
Thank you for deciding to release my marks several weeks later than they should be. In the anticipation for the big day, I have successfully climbed Everest and climbed back down, made a Post It chain that stretches around the equator, got Lost on the Island and then got Found, proved that it is actually always lupus, that nobody took the cookie from the cookie jar - the cookie was both eaten and uneaten simultaneously, shaved my head and regrown all my hair, successfully built a mini replica of Mary Keyes (the residence) and moved in, and repaid my OSAP, my future children's OSAP and their second cousin twice removed's OSAP, dismantled SOLAR and replaced it with QUASAR which is just as crappy but has a more appropriate name and performed surgery on myself.

In this excitement, I wish to inform you that I refuse to accept your release of my marks. I will only accept my marks on MUGSI on June 2nd, 3017. You may not authorize my professors to contact me with my final exam marks before this time. You may not inform me whether I have been accepted into my 2nd year program choices, nor may you inform me whether I can still attend your institute of higher learning. You may simply accept my fees and continue to enroll me in classes for which you may proceed to deny me access to the grades for which I pay you nearly 8 root canals worth, at which point I will refuse to view them.

Sincerely,
I'm sorry. I can't include my name here because you may wish to contact me and I just can't have that sort of efficiency permeate.

epic.

Someone should setup a petition. Waiting 6 weeks for marks where just about all other university have released theres. It is disgusting. There is so many things at mac that makes me feel jibbed when I give them my tuition.

Yup. Setup an online petition. But, only way for it to be valid is if we provide out student #'s... and not many people want to do that.
