Institutional Grading System

For each course a final mark is given in the form of an integer ranging from 0 to 20, barring courses for which the complementary exam regulations allow a pass/fail mark. This final mark serves as the exam result. For regular students, the scores are grouped in 7 categories, each corresponding to a general qualitative appreciation.

HUBrussel grade	Qualitative appreciation
>17	EXCELLENT, outstanding performance
15-16	VERY GOOD, above the average standard
13-14	GOOD, generally sound work
11-12	SATISFACTORY, fair
10	SUFFICIENT, performance meets the minimum criteria
8-9	FAIL, some more work required before the credit can be awarded = Tolerable Failure
<7	FAIL, considerable further work is required = Intolerable Failure
