The Transcript of Records
The Transcript of Records (relevé de notes) is the document that shows your academic achievements.
If you study at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and take exams at the end of the semester, a Transcript of Records will be issued and sent to you and your home university via email. Please be aware that this may take up to five weeks after the exam period. The Erasmus+ office will send you your grades as fast as possible.
► Please avoid writing us asking for your grades.
The Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University applies the ECTS Credit system. French students need to obtain 60 ECTS per year (30 ECTS per semester) to validate the academic year. Foreign students can take less ECTS per semester, if the home university approves.
The grading system in France is based on scale from 0 to 20. Students need at least 10/20 for a course to be passed. The following table gives you an approximative table of grade conversion:
| DESCRIPTION | French grade/201 | US / GPA2 |
| EXCELLENT – outstanding performance with only minor errors | 16-20 | A / 4 |
| VERY GOOD – above the average standard but with some errors | 14-15.9 | B / 4 |
| GOOD – generally sound work with a number of notable errors | 12-13.9 | C / 3.7-4 |
| SATISFACTORY – performance meets the minimum criteria | 11-11.9 | D / 3.3 |
| SUFFICIENT – performance meets the minimum criteria | 10-10.9 | E / 3 |
| FAIL– some more work required before the credit can be awarded | 8-9.9 | FX / 2.3-2.7 |
| FAIL – considerable further work is required | 0-7.9 | F / 0-2 |
