A failing grade means merely having to repeat the failed subject and can usually be corrected on a retake exam (and in some cases also on a special “committee exam”); it is used much more liberally. It is quite common for a significant number of students to fail a class on the first attempt.
For transcripts, alternatively we can accept the Diploma Supplement if accompanied by the degree certificate.
Each page of the transcript should have 5 courses listed.
