Description of the Institutional Grading System:
The result achieved in a course unit is generally expressed in a 0 to 20 grading scale. The lowest passing grade is 10.
ECTS Grading Scale:
In order to establish the course units grades for each group of the ECTS grading scale, the distribution of students with passes in the previous three academic years and/or in a total of at least thirty students is taken into consideration. When a cohort of this scale is impossible, the ECTS grading scale is replaced by the use of an institutional conversion table based on all course units grades of all Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave (IPCA)’s Degree Courses from the previous three academic years. It is important to notice that not all groups of the ECTS grading scale might be represented.
