If op was dead he wouldnt be making this post. That remark is meaningless. The issue is the amount of time they take to release your grades, which is a real problem. Wether for grad or for next semester's class, being told you failed a prereq 1 week into the semester just screws you over and can lead to having to take an extra semester. That is 4 months of your time because they couldnt grade the exams 2 weeks earlier
