Grading System
Kristianstad University uses a criterion-referenced grading system, based on learning outcomes with a three-grade scale as principal rule.
The scale used for each course is established in the syllabus and is marked on the transcript of record and degree certificate with a footnote.
Swedish grades are normally awarded on a basis of 3 grades for complete courses (always established in the syllabus):
Pass with distinction (VG or Väl godkänd)
Pass (G or Godkänd)
Fail (U or Underkänd).
or the following 4-grade scale:
5 (five) excellent
4 (four) very good
3 (three) pass
Fail
For courses offered to international students, there may be an exception/alternative from fall 2017 (always established in the syllabus):
A Excellent
B Very good
C Good
D Satisfactory
E Sufficient
F Fail
The scale used for each course is established in the syllabus and is marked on the transcript of record and degree certificate with a footnote.
