[edit] Grades

Are there conversion tables for the grades from the ECTS system (A to E and F,FX = fail) to the American system (A to C and F = fail) ?

I have a similar question only relating to conversion with regards to the credit system. Are there any such conversion tables or formulas with regards to the credit points given in the ECTS system and various North American univesities ? Kristian Joensen 20:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The ECTS Grades are really Ranking points not Grades, and it seems to be implied that whatever the actual level of achievement of the cohort, the top 10 will be ECTS-graded A, and so on in accordance with the table shown. This may or may not translate to an Institution's grading system, which might be based on qualitative features of the student or their work performance. Matt Whyndham 15:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for the information. But what about credit system ? I see alot of American Universities use notations like "Credit Hours", "Credit Units" or just "Credits". Is there any way to convert between that and the ECTS system ? Kristian Joensen 20:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of ECTS-label institutions

Can anyone maybe make or find a list of universities with the ECTS label ?Knorrepoes 12:15, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

For UK institutions, try http://www.erasmus.ac.uk/index.html

[edit] Possible merge from ECTS grading scale

I had proposed merging ECTS grading scale into European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System and flagged both articles accordingly, partly because ECTS grading scale had been flagged for notability. That article has now been expanded considerably. I think it now contains enough information not only to establish notability but also to stand alone, so the Merge flags could be removed. I think merging is still an option, so I'll leave the flags for a while to see what other people think, but please feel free to remove the flags if there's no further comment. -Boson 14:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

After a while with no opposition, I removed the {{merge}} tags in both articles. Waldir 11:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
