This article explains the meaning of the grading symbols used in undergraduate courses, such as "I", "W", "P", "F", "AU", "TR", and "PE", including how they affect GPA and graduation ECTS.
Students may receive various special grades, each with specific academic implications:
- “I” (Incomplete) is given when a student has shown satisfactory progress but could not complete key course requirements (e.g., final exam or term paper) for reasons accepted by the instructor. The student must justify the missing work and agree with the instructor on how to complete the remaining tasks. This must be done within the first 4 weeks of the next semester. In special cases, the instructor may allow an extension. Otherwise, the grade becomes “F”.
- “W” (Withdrawal) indicates a course withdrawal within the permitted time frame.
- “P” (Pass) counts towards graduation ECTS but is not included in the GPA.
- “F” (Fail) is included in the student’s cumulative GPA.
- “AU” (Audit) means the student registered for the course without receiving ECTS. Audit status must be declared during registration and tuition fees still apply.
- “TR” (Transfer) applies to courses taken at another institution and does not affect GPA.
- “PE” (Erasmus Pass) is given when a course is completed successfully through the ERASMUS program. It counts toward ECTS but does not affect the GPA.
