I would not mind getting them in the morning, provided the ITD can ensure people get their results with a minimum of fuss.

unfortunately that has never happened



surely at this stage ul can afford a server that doesn't crash every time results come around. I mean i imagine things like the visit of the Dali Lama (wasnt that streamed?) or the special olympics had higher traffic
does anyone no if this happens to every other college or is it unique to ul...

Every single semester. Never heard of it happening from my friends who are in different uni's. They should package this nonsense and advertise it as part of the UL experience.

Someone in ITD should be given a beating for this.
They know the expected demand and yet, year on year, they fail to be able to meet it.

Oh well, ah we'll all get through it. :L I'll probably be sleeping a while this morning given McIlroy's historic win tonight.

The spike in traffic has caused it to crash.

You need to relax smiler, your on the way to a breakdown
Is there anyone that has actually accessed their results or are we all just wasting our time trying to gain access to them?

I can get in to the student portal but it still says "Viewing your results has been disabled as students are currently being graded. Results are unavailable until after Spring grading where results will available on June 20th 2011." so I guess we've to wait until tomorrow...

Still not back up.

503 error.

Its not exactly rocket science to estimate how many hits the site will get, how is it possible ITD are able to **** up so much, so often?

EDIT: its just gone from a 503 error to a 500 error (Internal Server Crash)...

i think its going to be down for a while this time.

I'm getting script again. Fingers crossed they'll be up soon enough.

In the library I used to unplug the network cable on whatever computer I was sat at on the ground floor, to plug into my laptop, as the wireless is generally very poor when there's high demand in the library, and Mr. ITD walked past me, spotted the network cable and got angry and told me never to unplug it from the computers as it can bring the whole network down. So I'm assuming the entire network is connected in series, not parallel, one unplugged network cable brings the whole thing down No wonder it causes them so much difficulty!

That link should work to get people in to student records but there's still nothing there. I really think it will be 9am at this point.

Yup, logged on no problem. Unfortunately you're right...

What a pity

LilRedDorcha

I've been blocked from my portal now for some reason... Said to contact SAA immediately...

if you check your transcript results are there.....got mine!!

Hmmm, transcript is unavailable for me

sm124

if you into the second option on the list on the side, student transcript is in there. maybe it's only for final years?

Burswood

Honestly don't understand what the difference is and why they have to wait until 9am to release these results. How very "Irish".........

sm124

user > full student transcript

Dunston

I got mine too, it said they were generated on the 16th june so maybe they were there since then i don't know!

Yeah probably. I'm in 2nd year so that makes sense. I refreshed the page and its not there

smilerxxx

I don't have a transcript option :-(

Landoflemon

I can't see it either? I logged in, went into student records, but where to from there to view full student transcript?

And I am a final year if that makes a difference....

Connavar

I a fourth year and cant get mine so thats that theory debunked

PunkFreud

Methinks its time to give up...

smilerxxx

maybe its loading in increments? per department or something..

So I'm nursing and midwifery whats everyone else?

Landoflemon

non-visible for me - Engineering. We we actually given our degree awards already, as in 1.1 or 2.1 etc but don't have the individual results.

smilerxxx

i'm gonna give it another bit... i'm wide awake anyway

SarahBeep!

Fairly sure they're not being released until 9am :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

cruizer101

Just woke up and couldn't help but check, no sign anyway. Guessing it will stupidly be 9. At least if it was hour or two earlier might not be such a mad rush as will be at 9 as people were gradually waking up.
Someone was asking about other colleges. I know in my undergrad in trinity the different year were released on different dates.

brianbhoy1888

results are up for me...NOT JOKING

smilerxxx

mine is there but when i click on it, all i get is a mountain of html code, any suggestions poeple?

bobsxx

When I log in Its saying there are no active containers for this page???anyone no what that means?? theres no student record links or anything at the side just the logout buttin

smilerxxx

I went into view results so far and managed to get them, very happy.
Where do i check what the QCA means? i.e 2.1= 2.2= etc

cruizer101

My results are up but have to say is most confusing results i've ever seen. Why can't just give a nice percentage or grade. All this qca crap.
Any sort of guide to the grades around, is it the same as leaving cert for the grade percentage wise.

smilerxxx

Got the QCA calculations, but I dunno why I bothered for 1st year.

AFAIK, an A is 70% and above, a B is 55%-70% and a C is 40%-55%. Not positive, am open to correction on it.

YES!!! No repeats for the first time ever in college!!!!:D
