  1. In accordance with the Study and Examination Regulations of Charles University and the Rules of Organization of Studies at UK FSV, A-F grading scale has been used as of the academic year of 2017/2018 at UK FSV for classified credits and examinations.
  2. In the case that the subject results in examination or a credit test, the teacher will evaluate the student at 0% to 100%. When the assessment consists of several sub-assessments (e.g. continuous text, seminar paper, final test), the teacher assesses the individual parts and sets the total score as a percentage. The teacher will post the levels of individual assessments not later than at the beginning of the semester in the SIS UK for the subject concerned.
  3. A-F from the total result according to the preceding paragraph and using rounding up to the full percentage, is determined as follows:
  • 91% and more   =>         A
  • 81-90%             =>            B
  • 71-80%             =>            C
  • 61-70%             =>            D
  • 51-60%             =>            E
  • 0-50%                =>           F

For instance, an overall result of 50.5% corresponds to the grade E (after rounding up to the full percentage).

  1. Basic interpretation of A-F grading scale:
  • A – excellent (outstanding performance with only minor mistakes)
  • B – very good (above average performance with some mistakes)
  • C – good (overall good performance with a number of notable mistakes)
  • D – satisfactory (acceptable performance with significant mistakes)
  • E – sufficient (performance fulfils only minimum criteria)
  • F – insufficient/failed (more effort needs to be made).
  1. Where a procedure other than that referred to in paragraph 4 is required under an accredited double-degree or joint degree study program, the procedure agreed by the consortium of the corresponding dual-degree or joint degree study program will apply.
  2. This provision becomes effective on the first day of the academic year of 2018/2019, i.e. on 1 October, 2018.
