Grades of 18-20 are rarely given. There is no grade of D in France. However, grades of 8 and 9, which are normally failing grades, may be accepted as a “condoned pass” (U.S. grade of D) provided the overall grade average for the year (moyenne general) is 10.0 / 20, or higher. This is at the discretion of the institution’s administrators, and, at the postsecondary level, students may be required to retake, in future, the course for which they received a “condoned pass.”
For all Releve des Notes/Transcripts, we can alternatively accept the Diploma Supplement if accompanied by the degree certificate
