UFRJ's exchange program is possible through the establishment of agreements and partnerships with international higher education institutions. We do not accept "free mover" students. |
GRADING SYSTEM
| The scale of the grading system ranges from 0 (zero) to 10 (ten), where 0 (zero) corresponds to the miminum grade and 10 (ten) the maximum grade. It is necessary to reach a grade equal to or higher than 5 (five) to pass.
Students must have a minimum of 75% of attendance. UFRJ’s credit system only takes into consideration taught courses (hours in class), where 15 (fifteen) hours of theoretical classes correspond to 1 (one) UFRJ credit and 30 (thirty) hours of practical classes equally correspond to 1 (one) UFRJ credit. |
