Instituto Politécnico do Porto Grading system used at the Instituto Politécnico do Porto, Portugal:
1 - Local Grades
In the national grading system, the results are awarded in a scale from 0 to 20, and the minimum mark required for approval is 10.
2 - ECTS Grades
The ECTS grading scale is based on the percentile of a student in a given assessment, expressing the student’s performance relatively to other students enrolled in the last three years of the same curricular unit/course (or in a significant group of students). Hence there is no direct fixed correspondence between the ECTS grade and the local grade.
ECTS Grade

Definition (only for failing grades)/

B
25%
C
30%
D

Portugal adopted ECTS mechanisms for our higher education system by law.
At IPP, the transfer of grades follows the ECTS procedures established in the Portuguese legislation which reflects these principles (DL 42/2005). Hence the ECTS grade calculation is madeconsidering the percentile of each student that reflects the relative position of his/her mark in each curricular unit/course.
