Electronic Gradebook

Contents of the Gradebook

The gradebook displays elements of the student's Individual Curriculum (IC) for each academic year. These include:

●  Electives previously selected during the course selection campaigns.

●  Practical training elements (PTEs) such as term papers, internships, and projects.

●  State Final Certification (SFC), including the final thesis and, if applicable, the state exam.

●  Additional courses, which may include open optional courses, micro-qualifications, or courses with repeated study.

Elements of the curriculum that conclude within a specific module and contribute to the diploma are marked with an icon. Some courses span multiple modules or semesters and have several interim assessments. All interim grades are recorded in the gradebook, but only the final grade, marked with an icon, is considered the final grade for the course.

How and When Grades Appear in the Gradebook

Instructors assign grades using a 10-point scale in the electronic record. These grades appear in the gradebook only after they have been verified and approved by the programme manager.

●  Even if a course concludes with an exam before the exam period, the instructor only calculates the interim grade during the exam period to ensure that the results of Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) remain valid.

●  Grades from exams taken during the main exam period and other graded assessments are communicated to students no later than three working days after the final assessment.

●  Professors then submit the grades to the programme office within five business days after the exam period ends.

Student Performance Assessment (SPA) Indicator in the Gradebook

In simple terms, the SPA value represents the number of courses in which you have received unsatisfactory grades at the end of an exam period.

●  SPA = 0 → No academic debts.

●  SPA = 2 → The student has two academic debts and is eligible for retakes. However, if a third unsatisfactory grade is received, they will be expelled.

●  SPA = 3 or higher → The student has three or more academic debts and will be expelled.

In Case There is an Error in Grade Calculation

If a student finds errors in the grade calculation, they must contact the teacher who provided the assessment record sheet within five business days of gaining access to the record and report the issue.

If the teacher agrees with the reported issues, they must change the record within two business days.

If the teacher disagrees with the concerns raised, they must provide the student with their reasoning within two working days. If the student remains unsatisfied with the teacher's response, they may contact the academic supervisor of their degree programme within two working days. In case the teacher fails to respond to the student's enquiry, the student must notify both the lead teacher and the academic supervisor of the error. Then the lead teacher must review the submitted information and make a decision, which may also be discussed with the academic supervisor following the same procedure.

In Case There is an Error in the Gradebook

Students are responsible for inquiring about the results of their interim assessments. Not knowing one’s interim results does not exempt the student from this responsibility and cannot be used as a valid excuse for missing retakes or failing to meet the deadlines for filing appeals.^*

If a student discovers an incorrect grade or inaccurate information regarding any of the curriculum courses, they have the right to appeal the ranking result. To do so, the following steps must be taken:

●  Contact the programme office. The contact details of the programme manager and other staff members are available on the degree programme's website.

●  Submit a written appeal addressed to the academic supervisor of the degree programme through the programme office within two business days from the date the information is published in the student’s account.

●  Attach supporting documents to the appeal.

The programme office will review the appeal within three working days and, if the information provided is confirmed, will make the necessary amendments. The ranking will then be recalculated.
