Information on recording course assessment results in EUCLID, and marking schemes. The University operates Common Marking Schemes for Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes and courses. All Schools follow these marking schemes, with the exception of BVM&S and MBChB programmes. Further details can be found at https://www.ed.ac.uk/timetabling-examinations/exams/regulations/common-marking-schemeDifferent Marking Schemes exist in EUCLID for courses that require only an overall grade ('grade only') and those courses that require both an overall mark and grade ('mark and grade'). There are also different Marking Schemes for Undergraduate Honours, Undergraduate Non-Honours and Postgraduate courses.The Marking Schemes currently in use are listed in the tables below: Common Marking Scheme – Undergraduate (excl MBChB and BVM&S) CodeDescriptionVERSGH / MTM6Common Marking Scheme - UG Honours Grade OnlyVERSGN / MTM5Common Marking Scheme - UG Non-Honours Grade OnlyVERSMH / MTM2Common Marking Scheme - UG Honours Mark/GradeVERSMN / MTM1Common Marking Scheme - UG Non-Honours Mark/Grade Common Marking Scheme - Postgraduate CodeDescriptionVERSGP / MTM4Common Marking Scheme - PG Grade OnlyVERSMP / MTM3Common Marking Scheme - PG Mark/Grade MBChB in the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine CodeDescriptionMBCHB1MBChB Grade Only BVM&S in the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies CodeDescriptionBVMS1GBVM&S Grade OnlyBVMS1MBVM&S Mark/Grade When a new course is created in EUCLID (using CCAM 'New Course Proposal' function), the appropriate Marking Scheme must be selected.Recording of Course Assessment Grades within EUCLIDOutcome and grades, currently used within EUCLID are explained below.OutcomeEUCLID GradeDescriptionPASS A1Student has passed all assessmentsA2A3BCDPUsed for students who Pass on grades only courses e.g. Pass or Fail course.
