Universiteit GentGhent University is fully committed to the correct and objective conversion of grades obtained abroad. From the very beginning it has applied the old ECTS grading scale based on statistical distribution tables for all its students. Gent is also the coördinator of the EGRACONS project (www.egracons.eu), which aims at developing a European conversion tool. Depending on the faculty and programme, grades at UGent vary between 10 (pass mark) and 20. The average grade is either 13 (Bachelor) or 14 (Master) and 19 and 20 are almost never given (less than 1%). Even 18 is rare. On the transcript of records for each course unit, the percentage of students that obtain the same grade for the reference group is given, as well as the percentages of students who obtain a lower grade and those that obtain a higher grade. This corresponds to a condensed distribution table. The correct conversion of grades from Gent (for incoming students) depends on the availability of grading tables at the home university for the reference group that the student belongs to.
