Grade and Credits Clause Samples
The 'Grade and Credits' clause defines how a student's academic performance is assessed and how academic credits are awarded for completed coursework. Typically, this clause outlines the grading scale used (such as letter grades or pass/fail), the minimum requirements for passing, and the number of credits assigned to each course or module. By establishing clear criteria for grades and credit allocation, this clause ensures transparency in academic evaluation and helps students understand the requirements for progression or graduation.
