UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE
NEW ASSESSMENT SCALES – SESSION 2005/06
1. With effect from the start of session 2005/06 the University will introduce a new
alpha-numeric assessment scale to replace the previous percentage scale as part of
its new assessment policy for all taught programmes.
2. The new scale is reproduced below and applies to all modules which were graded
previously in percentages. This scale will be used for reporting grades to students
via SITS and will be used on all official University transcripts.
