The Grading System
ECTS (European Community Course Credit Transfer System) grading scale.
Narvik University College uses two different grading systems:
1. "Pass - Fail"
The assignment requirements which must be met in order to take the examination are usually graded
as "Approved - Not approved".
2. From the autumn term of 2002 the University College changes from "figure scale" to the
"letter scale" in order to conform to the new Quality Reform.
The following grades were adopted at Norwegian College Board Meeting 4 / 2002 :
