Grading

How grades are recorded

  • Letter grades A, B, C and D, with a minimum passing grade for each course
  • The grade point average is calculated automatically from course grades
  • Courses met through assessed experience carry a grade and count in the average like any other course
  • Every grade is linked to an assessment on record

Assessment of experience

Prior learning, tested

A significant share of a program, up to the limit set in University policy, can be met by assessing what you already know. Each course claimed this way is tested individually and graded.
