Oh I was thinking of the same thing! They should have it regionally set out or something. So it has different log in times. Mailing is messy...I know this esp cuz at work we stopped mailing cheques out because they might get lost along the way. Students would see their diplomas as money really.

Yeah, apparently that wasn't a unique thought, but, it's still a good idea. Trying to log in for 6 hours (as Joi did) is completely ridiculous.

It reminds me of when I went to York...initially, we had to dial in to their phone system to get courses. The first couple of years, it was bedlam, and then they started giving you "windows" to phone in, and it got a lot better. Seems like a simple enough concept to me! (of course, they probably do it all by computer now, huh?)

Yup, all by computer with different enrolment times :)

Now, if a university with 10's of 1000's of students can do it, why can't IBO?

I can understand why they wouldn't sent marks by regular mail...but registered would be okay, wouldn't it?

I'm getting better at it... pretty good at duels & trios now, just need to work on giant worlds with lots of opponents. =)

No, we don't have that kind of access...if we're lucky, we get a list of marks (by IA & paper 1,2,3) in September from Mme R-E, but it doesn't always happen.
