There can be five grades (Excellent, Good, Mid, Pass, Fail or A,B,C,D,E), or two grades (Pass & Fail or P&F, Qualified &Unqualified or D&F). Students whose assessment score is above (including) 60 (hundred-mark system) or whose grade is above (including) Pass or D in five -grade system or who get Pass or Qualified (P or D) in two-grade system are deemed as pass the course and can obtain relevant credits.

2.The course credits are calculated each semester. Students can obtain the course credits after passing the course appraisal.

3.Weighted Average

Weighted Average is a major indicator of students’ learning quality. The calculating formula is as follows:

Weighted Average per academic year =∑(course study assessment score *credits) / ∑credits

4.Grade Point Average (GPA for short) is not taken as indicator of students’ learning quality, but a reference for students’ convenience in transforming the credits if needed.

The following chart is for grade value conversion.
