First, I realize that I speak as an NPC woman, but I wanted to throw in my 2c about this practice.
For us - professors are VERY much against doing ANY kind of mid-term grade reporting. We do use a form that lists the name & contact info for myself, my CP, and my VP Intellectual Development. Often times they will refuse to give it back to a member because they are not required to give them this information (which is crazy to me!) -- but they certainly would not give the info directly to two other students regardless if the student/member is there or not.
Sigh... it would be a wonderful thing to be able to hold for grades, but as it stands now, XO are the only ones on campus that do that. We have the 6-8 week new member period starting with bid day.
I was the first class at my school to be initiated same-semester. We had an 11 week new member policy, and we were in a LOT of study hour sessions!
