Temporary Pass/Fail

In the academic year (2019-2020), the exams of the some bachelor courses were be temporary evaluated as either 'pass' or 'fail'.

We said back then :

Temporary pass/fail evaluation: the 'pass/fail' evaluation only applies to any student who takes the exam or second exam ('resit') of the mentioned courses in the academic year 2019-2020. This means that the regular numerical grading for these courses is expected to return in the academic year 2020-2021, unless face-to-face examination is still not possible by then (February 2021). Any obtained 'pass' or 'fail'-results will not be transposed to a numerical value. All examination still takes place online, which means that the temporary 'pass/fail' evaluation continues in 2020-2021.  There is one change however: the course IPN3011 Methods of Cognitive Neuroscience / PSY3011 Meth. van Cognitieve Neurowetenschappen (P4) will revert back to numerical grading in 2020-2021.

Will this change impact my GPA?

No. The GPA  is calculated from any courses that are evaluated on a ten-point scale. The mentioned courses are not part of that calculation as long as the evaluation is a 'pass' or a 'fail'.
