Pass/Fail Regulations & Validity of Grades

Detailed information on pass/fail regulations and validity of grades can be found in Rule 9 of the rules and regulations of the Examination Board.

In short the pass/fail regulation for study units taught from September 2021 onwards is: a study unit during the first academic year, the second academic year and the second semester of the third academic year is successfully completed if the final exam grade is at least a 6 and all grades for the tests of parts of the study unit are >= 5.5. Grades of study units and parts of study units registered in Osiris will be valid indefinitely. (Parts of) study units with insufficient results can be redone in later years. 

Note: grades of partial tests that are not registered in Osiris expire at the end of the academic year.   

Modules started before September 2020 (TOM 1.0 modules) are successfully completed if the final rounded exam grade is at least a 6 and all grades for the module components are >= 5.5. Grades of components of non-completed modules will be valid indefinitely. The insufficient results can be redone in later years.
