ECTS grades for the final "Transcript of Records"
What does "ECTS" stand for?
The acronym ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System: European and non-European universities use it to express the students' academic results in a standardized way so that also other institutes abroad can recognise the student's academic performance. Generally, in one academic year 60 ECTS credits are awarded.
Once you pass your exams in Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (ÇOMU), the Erasmus Office will prepare a "Transcript of Records" where your home university can see all the courses you took here and the grades you obtained from each of them, thus being able to convert the local grades into its own grade system.
You might wonder -how can my home university know how to convert the grades from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University?
Here you find a table for the conversion! Plus, in the Transcript of Records that we'll prepare for you, there is always this table too for your university to see.
