A student is allowed not to take the examination on the first set date, but in such a case he loses the chance of taking the examination again in case of failure.
At the University the following marking system is used:
Polish grade | Description | ECTS grade | |
5 | VERY GOOD | outstanding performance with only minor mistakes | A |
4+ (4,5) | BETTER THAN GOOD | above the average standard but with some errors | B |
4 | GOOD | generally sound work with a number of notable errors | C |
3+ (3,5) | SATISFACTORY | fair but with significant shortcomings | D |
3 | SUFFICIENT | performance meets the minimum criteria | E |
2 | FAIL | performance does not meet the minumum criteria | F, FX |
