Is the University grading system different in the UK than the USA?

Question

I transfered from a university in the UK to the USA. My UK school was fully accredited in the USA. Any class that I had a D grade in will not count as transferable credit. Some credits didnt transfer and i dont think its fair because the UK grading system is different and I need those credits.

Answer 1

A grade of D does not constitute as a passable grade if either the U.K. or the U.S. A grade of D is considered a fail and an unsatisfactory ability and knowledge of the subject and thus is nontransferable.

If you didn't think it was fair and you needed those credits, then you only have yourself to blame and you should have studied harder.

A C or above is required to pass a class. Anything below will not count as credit and will be something you will have to retake. There is no way around it, you just have to study harder.

There is no special rule, all students regardless of nationality are assessed the same way.

You need a minimum of C grade to pass a class.
