The ECTS grading scale has been developed in order to help institutions translate the grades awarded by host institutions to ECTS students. It provides information on the student’s performance additional to that provided by the institution’s grades; it does not replace the local grade. Higher education institutions make their own decisions on how to apply the ECTS grading scale to their own system.
