    More than likely results.ul.ie. It worked superbly last year IIRC, so I'd say that's your best bet. :)

    UL --> Students & Staff --> Student Quicklinks --> My Student Record --> Student Records Tab

    thats how I generally check mine

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    My first results in about 8 years - the waiting is the worst! I don't think I have anything major to worry about, but nearly 5 weeks of waiting? Ugh.

    Do you get a letter in the post before hand if you fail?

    No.

    You'll get a letter after the results in June detailing modules you've failed and the procedure of repeating them.

    does anyone else find the mass "to: all" email about the Lynx Space Competition incredibly irritating?
    they cant just start mass forwarding requests for votes in a competition, it sets a precedent. It'd be good if the policy on forwarding emails was consistently adhered to, these kinds of email annoy me a lot.

    Well herpederp! (9gag bender) I sent this to another lad on boards so I might as well send it to you too! "Well Arse Biscuits! (love the name) I'm the lad that pragmatically sent the link to the SAA. First off I never even thought they would send it to all the students on my behalf. I was very surprised, yet grateful, that they actually sent it out. The woman that emailed back said that she even took the liberty of voting for me, which surprised me even more, I'll let that nibble away at you! ;) Seeing as you, and a lot of other people, get flustered and overreact over a little tiny email that is sent out! To be honest there's no need for that carry on at all. If something like that ruins your day and you feel the need to give out about it to random people on another website then that is a sad state of affairs! It's a ****in email lads get the **** over it! Obviously it seems as you all are stuck to your laptops/computers/Ipads/Smartphones etc. day in day out so I can see how an email that is rather a waste of time would ruin your day, if that's the case I am truthfully sorry! So back to you Arse Biscuits (haha love it, really do) I did get a great response and people sharing it on their Facebook's and Twitter's and having a good auld jolly laugh about the whole thing, which is all it was in the first place.. a ****in bitta craic lad stop being a dry ****e! I never felt as if I was going to win the ****in thing I was aiming for 1,000 votes and I exceeded my expectations! Many thanks to the SAA of course! Anyways that's all I've to say on the matter! Best of luck in the lynx competition, you seem to be mad to go to space, I'd give you my votes if I could, I would... but I can't! :)"

    This was a lad complaining that the SAA sent out an email for me! He is also in the lynx space thingy and was clearly bitter that I thought of the idea first! My whole bit about people being annoyed of the emails is directed at you! ;)

    SAA have time to send out emails about a space competition which MIGHT NOT EVEN HAPPEN!! But they take forever to reply to me about Fees I don't have to pay but they think I do.

    Bullshit.

    That is bull**** and obviously they should be taking matters like that ahead of a space competition I would agree.. it is so much bull**** however, that I wouldn't be sending them emails on the matter, I'd be heading into the office and complaining directly! Take life by the balls a squeeze hard! ;) also bull**** isn't censored on this.. excellent! thanks for that! Hope the fees bull**** works out for you!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 HogieBear92


    ah it is censored! *****!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,555 ✭✭✭Ave Sodalis


    it is so much bull**** however, that I wouldn't be sending them emails on the matter, I'd be heading into the office and complaining directly! !

    So, what about the people who live... say... 200 odd miles away and won't be about in time to stop the fees office denying you access to your results as you haven't paid fees you don't have to pay but they insist you do? The email service is there for exactly that kind of thing.
    I wasn't aware that it was there for non-uni related things, like a space competition I couldn't care less about but oh no, I agree, we should definitely travel all that distance, cutting a holiday short, just so emails got through our student mail aren't university related. :rolleyes:

    Man look I get what you're saying and all but what good is complaining on here going to get you?? I feel sorry for the predicament you find yourself in of course.. and I 100% per cent agree with you that it should be sorted out! But like I said, I sent the email on my own behalf and out of pure chance that it would be sent out to all the students! I got a bit excited about going to Space... forgive me!

    HogieBear92, less of the personal abuse aimed at other forum members thank you.

    You could do with tempering your language too - not big and not clever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭hurpederp


    Howsit going Hogie Bear, best of luck in your competition. ( I actually voted for you too, so relax ).

    My issue is not with you in person, nor with the Space Competition. It is with the SAA's email policy. There is nothing wrong with you asking the SAA to forward your request. But as per their own policy, they should just ignore it. Otherwise it sets a precedent.

    "Obviously it seems as you all are stuck to your laptops/computers/Ipads/Smartphones etc. day in day out ". No I am not, I check my emails/Facebook for a few minutes at the start and at the end of every day, and that is precisely why I don't want important stuff obscured by spam . I only get to glance at my inbox, so I need it to be concise and relevant.

    And with that I leave it.

    You sound like a pompous ass. It's not "one little email". It's f*cking 90% of my emails. I can't find sh*t in my inbox because the office is accommodating so many students with so many throwaway emails.

    i get you're in a competition. I understand you want votes. It's just I would appreciate it if another medium were used. You say you didn't ask for the email to be sent to everyone - fair enough. Indeed, I voiced my feelings to the office on the receipt of the email in question immediately after receiving it. I'm sick of getting such sh*ite in my inbox is all.

    My problem isn't with you in particular (at least not until you got all defensive and claimed it was just "a little tiny email", and that we are overreacting), but with office consistently setting precedents for such emails.

    Good luck in your competition...

    i agree this is my 1st time doing pre xmas exams. but all my post xmas exams results were out within 3 weeks and u had class for some of them making it seem shorter.

    Also all results are out at 9 tomorrow what are the chances of the site crashing as a result?
