Examination grades

HD High distinction, with marks in the range 85-100 per cent.
D Distinction, with marks in the range 75-84 per cent.
C Credit, with marks in the range 65-74 per cent.
P Pass, with marks in the range 50-64 per cent.
PII Division II pass (frequently called `P2 pass'), with marks in the range 45-49. This grade counts for the purpose of the academic record of the student, but no more than one P2 grade may be counted in a pair of sequential subjects if being used as prerequisites for a higher level subject or subjects. Students should note that, whereas they may be awarded any number of P2 passes during their whole course of studies, they are restricted in qualifying for the award of their degree, to counting not more than twenty-four points of subjects at P2 level, with not more than eighteen points at levels one and two, and not more than twelve points at level three. Students must prepare to repeat the work in the other P2 subjects if they are to be counted towards qualifying for the degree.
NN Fail result, with marks in the range 0-44 per cent.
