Study Information System

Grading system

• UT uses both a differentiated and a non-differentiated grading system to assess the academic progress of students.
- Differentiated assessment:, the students' achievement level of learning outcomes is graded with letter: A- excellent, B – very good, C – good, D –satisfactory, E – sufficient, F – insufficient. The letter expresses achieving of the learning outcomes, as described in http://www.ut.ee/en/studies/study-regulations/credits. In Estonia, according to the current legislation, the letters are not translated into a numerical grade (either % or any other number), but into learning outcomes.
- Non-differentiated assessment: the students are considered to have passed the course, if all the requirements set forth in the syllabus have been fulfilled. Students will be given either pass or fail.
Please keep in mind that courses assessment method is fixed and cannot be changed in accordance with a student's needs or wishes. Make sure you know what your home university's requirements are!

Transcript of Records is issued only by student's request and are not sent automatically. It is a student responsibility to contact dean's office at the end of the studies and inform them whether the document should be sent by email or by post.
