+# Prior Method (No longer works as of Feb. 2026)
+
+***The University has stopped providing grade data requested via FOIA as of Feb. 2026.*** However, the below method *may* work with prodding.
 
 The Freedom of Information Act allows us to request records from UVA, which is how we get our grades data. Follow these steps:
 
-1. Go to https://communications.virginia.edu/foia/request-records
+1. Go to https://universitycounsel.virginia.edu/foia/request-records
 2. Click "Submit a FOIA request," creating an account as necessary.
 3. In "Describe the Record(s) Requested", enter the following:
 
-- I am a member of theCourseForum, a student-run team and registered CIO that maintains the top course review site at UVA. I am requesting the grades for all classes at UVA for `(semester here)`. We use these grades to provide a free online outlet for students to get the best information on their classes as they navigate course registration. Let me know if there is anything I need to do to facilitate this process.
