Update Jan 2026
We would like to provide some additional explanation about the use of Grade Schemes in the Gradebook (not applicable to University College and Veterinary Medicine). The use of Grade Scheme 1–10 sometimes leads to misunderstandings; therefore, we recommend using Grade Scheme 0–10.
Difference between Grade Value and Grade Scheme
When you choose Grade Scheme 1–10, the entered points are automatically converted to a scale from 1 to 10.
Example:
• A grade value of 5.0 represents 50% of the total.
• With Grade Scheme 1–10, this is displayed as a 5.5.
If both the original score (Grade Value) and the converted value (Grade Scheme) are shown, this can lead to confusion or discussion with students, as the conversion is often not intended. For this reason, we recommend using Grade Scheme 0–10.
From the next academic year onward, this will also be the default setting. More information can be found in the manual. If there are any questions, please contact the faculty key user.
