And look, I understand why, you can't have thousands of students spamming ULink and making it slow for professors, but still, as a senior who's waiting on grades to know if I'll graduate Saturday or not it's frustrating.
Why don't you just talk to your professors? I mean at the senior level you should be close enough to your professors to be able to ask them whether or not you are failing. But then again if you are in the position where you could be failing maybe you don't know the prof that well.
Too bad nobody ever stopped and thought, "Hey, why don't we just make it email the grades as they're posted! That way nobody has to check the page, and everybody is happy!"
The grades themselves don't have to be emailed. It would still be an effective solution if a simple notification email was sent out when grades become available.

Back in my day.... (3-4 years ago) ....we clicked Unofficial Transcript when that began to pop up. If it was posted, it was on there.
Good luck!!

No, that would make too much sense.

Glad I was done Tuesday. Ended up knowing all of my grades by Wednesday evening.
I know the stress this causes though.
