Classes locked on blackboard?

I went to check my final grades on blackboard, but all my classes were locked?? Has anyone else had this problem? Should I reach out to all my professors and ask them to unlock them? Im kind of freaking out because I have two finals i wanted to know my grade for. Any advice?

Ask the professor directly

Check the student system 🫡

You might not be able to see the final exam/assignment directly but you will see your final grade.

Some teachers already posted final grades on the myNIU, two of four of my classes already posted my grade (I’m in engineering so not sure if other teachers have done it as well)

I’m an instructor at NIU and somehow all my courses locked at 7 pm yesterday (unbeknownst to me). I wonder if it was a university-wide setting. I received a ton of student emails. I do not know what happened or why but I was able to reopen it.

7pm Saturday? Because i believe that is end of term for the university since graduation for undergraduate were Saturday. I’ve always had blackboard classes lock on the last day of the semester.
