Grading system

In the Bologna process as KFU is rather experienced so it widely implements practices of converting ECTS credits and marks to Russian system and vice versa.

The study workload is evaluated in academic hours in Russian Federation (RF) where one academic hour equals to 45 minutes and 1 RF credit (36 academic hours) is equal to 1 ECTS credit.

The local KFU grading system is the following:

According to the Procedure for monitoring progress and intermediate certification of students at Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University of 11.03.2021:

  • 5 – “excellent”
  • 4 – “good”
  • 3 – “satisfactory”
  • 2 – “fail”
  • The lowest satisfactory grade is 3 (“satisfactory”)
  • The lowest grade is 2 (“fail”)
  • The highest grade is 5 (“excellent”)

Some courses are graded using Pass/Fail system according to the academic plan. Under this system, students earning a grade from “3” to “5” in a course will have “Passed” recorded on the transcript for that course; a grade of “2” will be recorded as “Fail”. “Passed” and “Fail” grades shall not be used in computing grade point averages.
