Myerscough College, in Billsborrow, Lancashire, said it meant staff had to email each student individually with their grades.
Online enrolment was also affected following the attack on Thursday.

A spokesman said there had been no breach of student data, and Lancashire Police were investigating.
'Massive effort'
It said the "denial of service" attack "severely damaged all IT infastructure" and systems were still offline so staff could only be contacted through social media.
"As many hundreds of students were affected, this has taken a massive effort from staff through the day, who have worked quickly to try to contact everybody."
