The University Board has 2010-12-17 decided that the ECTS scale will no longer be used for translation of the grades (ie, according to the decisions in these pages).

There are transitional provisions valid in 2011 for courses that regulates ECTS complementation in the course syllabus.

The function and method of translating between different grading systems is general and not only applicable according LU's old rules and thus can be interesting to keep, even if it is not used for grading at Lund University any longer.

 

Mapping of local grades in the ECTS scale

This page include a method to systematically map local grades in the ECTS scale. The method used is described in "Documentation".

Step I: Current grade distribution

Submit the NUMBER of students given the corresponding grade (3,4,5).

3 4 5

 

Step II: Long term grade distribution

Enter the long term grade distribution by entering the course code or manually.

XXXXNN eller XXXNNN; X letter, N numeral
3 4 5
Integer percent,
the sum should be 100.

 

Step III: Calculate ECTS distribution

 

Hint: By submitting 100-100-100 in Step I you'll get an idea of the correspondence of "strong" and "weak" 3, 4 and 5 on the course in question.
