Why use the EGRACONS Grade Conversion Tool?
The EGRACONS Grade Conversion Tool offers a user-friendly web-based tool for grade conversion that ensures a fair and transparent grade conversion of grades obtained abroad based on the guidelines of the new ECTS Guide. It is available to all European HEIs enabling a transparent interpretation of students' accomplishments. The tool enables both single conversion (a single student grade to a single grade) and multiple conversion (all the grades of one student on a Transcript of Records).
Recently, the EGRACONS Grade Conversion Tool has been promoted as a referential instrument in the specialized materials of the European Commission, such as the new ECTS User’s Guide, which acknowledges its usefulness as a solution in the development of new means of advancing the internationalacademic experience. The commision has also sent a letter to all National Agencies
The Tool’s advantages can be summed up as follows:
