Grades and grading

An alphanumeric grade is assigned in the following cases:

• NP (Not Participated): You are registered for a course, but have not participated in any of the tests.
• NC (Not Completed): You are registered for a course, but have not completed one or more of the tests, or you have not passed a test with a required minimum grade.
• P (Pass) or F (Fail): You have taken part in a course for which no numerical grades are given.
• EX (EXemption): You have received an exemption for a course.

For each course, Osiris states the following information:

• which tests determine your final course grade
• how the result of each test factures in (weighing)
• whether or not you have to pass a minimum grade for a test

All test results can be entered in decimals. The final course result is rounded off.

Together with your diploma, you will receive an International Diploma Supplement (IDS). The IDS contains the following information:

• information about the name and level of your studies
• formal accreditation of your programme
• a list of your courses and grades (only passing grades are recorded on the IDS)
• a weighted average grade on the 10-point scale 
  At Utrecht University a weighted average grade is calculated by multiplying all numerical grades on the IDS with the credits obtained for that course, and by dividing this by the sum of credits. The average is built up gradually, and only the final average will be recorded on the International Diploma Supplement. Utrecht University includes grades obtained in the first year of studies in the calculation of the weighted average.
