Percentage Grades
All grades will now be marked in percentages rather than A, B, C etc. This change has been made based on student feedback and you said you'd rather receive grades in percentages so this is what has happened. It also brings us in line with other universities as most of them use percentages.
Grades marked in percentages means scoring is easier to understand, i.e. an A to A+ range could have been anywhere from 70% to 100%. So now you'll be able to see more clearly the results you've achieved and how your grades are improving.
You don't need to do anything. All of your existing grades have been automatically converted to percentage grades and you'll now receive all your grades in percentages.
Here's a list of how undergraduate grades convert.
