The sum
This page uses the common set-up where coursework is out of 50, the final is out of 50, and you need at least 20 out of 50 on the final to pass the course.
The rule
- Mark needed
- grade cut-off − coursework
- But never less than
- 20 / 50
- And never more than
- 50 / 50
Above 50 means that grade is out of reach
Example: coursework 37 out of 50
| Grade | Course total | Needed on the final |
|---|---|---|
| D (pass) | 50 | 20 (the minimum) |
| C | 58 | 21 |
| C+ | 66 | 29 |
| B | 74 | 37 |
| B+ | 82 | 45 |
| A | 90 | Out of reach (53) |
Example: coursework 25 out of 50
| Grade | Course total | Needed on the final |
|---|---|---|
| D (pass) | 50 | 25 |
| C | 58 | 33 |
| C+ | 66 | 41 |
| B | 74 | 49 |
| B+ | 82 | Out of reach (57) |
Why the minimum matters
If your final is below the minimum, you fail the course even when the total is 50 or more. With coursework of 45, a final of 15 makes 60, which looks like a C, but the course is still an F.
Rules differ between universities and programmes. This page explains the common rules that Fasli uses. Always check your own university’s regulations and ask your academic adviser before you decide.
