Grading at Integrated Business Faculty (IBF)
Students can take exams starting from the first exam session after the lectures for the course have finished.
Exams can be taken in regular or additional exam sessions (please look at the Student Calendar for dates of the exam sessions).
In order to take exams for the courses from the second semester of an academic year, students have to have passed all the exams for the courses from the first semester of the same academic year.
The grading system is quantitative, meaning that the grade is expressed in quantitative measures.
For the full time students, the grades are formed based on the following:
-maximum 10 points for class attendance;
-maximum 10 points for class activities;
-maximum 40 points for the first part of the exam;
-maximum 40 points for the second part of the exam.
In order that the student is eligible to take the second part of the exam, she/he has to have at least 21 points from the first part of the exam.
If the student does not pass the exam in parts, then she/he can take the exam in the two following exam sessions, so that the total points that can be achieved are 80, plus 20 points from attendance and class activities. Starting from the third exam session, the total number of points that can be achieved from the exam is 100.
Part time students can take the exam for the first time in the first exam session after the lectures for that specific course have finished. The grade is based only on the results from the exam, without attendance or class activities.
The grading for both full time and part time students is quantitative with grades from 5 (five) to 10 (ten).
The grading system at IBF that is compatible to the ECTS grading is the following:
10 (A) – amounts 91–100 points,
9 (B) – amounts 81–90 points,
8 (C) – amounts 71–80 points,
7 (D) – amounts 61–70 points,
6 (E) – amounts 51–60 points,
5 (F,FX) – amounts 50 points or below.
If the student is not satisfied with the grade, she/he can appeal to the Director of IBF within 24 hours after the exam results have been published on the blackboard. The Director asks the course professor/lecturer to revise the grade within 3 working days.
If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the professor/lecturer, then a commission of three members is being constituted whose decision about the grade is final.
