Students disappointed and frustrated about no access to grades

Students have expressed their disappointment and frustration about the online portal on the computer that currently gives no access to their grades. Since school has resumed in September the portal has been blocked. This makes it difficult for students to find out what their grades are and if there have been any unexpected changes in their results.

Early this semester, when students from various departments (Law, Communication, Nursing and Business School) came back for school, some of their grades had even been changed. For instance, in one case a “C+” changed to a “B” and later back to “C+”. In another case a “C” changed into a “B”. Other people, who had done an exam, got a “X”. That is a sign for absenteeism.

The blocking of the online portal and the unexpected changes in the results created a lot of discomforts among the students. ‘’How do authorities expect our parents to pay our fees when we cannot show them our results!?’’ said L200 Communication student Nana Kwaku Tanoh Kyeremeh, spilling out his frustration.

Efforts to seek clarification from the office of Public Affairs and the Registrar have been futile. Only a spokesperson from the Information Technology department (IT) was willing to explain that there is a technical error and the department is doing their best to solve the problem.

Public Relations Officer for the Student Representative Council, Gregory Hockey, described the situation as “very worrying” and confirmed that the authorities on campus are working around the clock to clear out the situation. They are working together with the mentor University of Cape Coast, to ensure proper grades for all the students.
