## General regulations for undergraduate students

The general regulations that apply to all undergraduate students are
outlined in the [College Calendar (Part II)](https://www.tcd.ie/calendar/undergraduate-studies). The following is only a brief summary of
some important points and it is not meant to either replace or override the
information in the College Calendar.

- All students must register for 60 ECTS credits and those must be divided
  equally between the two terms.
- Students will only be assessed on their registered modules.
- Results for examinations are published according to the following
  grades: I = 70 to 100, II.1 = 60 to 69, II.2 = 50 to 59, III = 40 to 49,
  F1 = 30 to 39, F2 = 0 to 29.
- In order to pass an individual module, students must achieve
  an overall score of 40% or higher.
- In order to pass the year, students must achieve an overall
  credit-weighted average of 40% and EITHER
  - pass each of their modules (by achieving 40% or higher in each
    of their modules) OR
  - pass by compensation (by achieving 40% or higher in modules that
    are worth at least 50 ECTS credits and by achieving 35% or higher in
    their remaining modules).
- Students who do not pass the year at the end of the Hilary term
  are required to present for reassessment at the beginning of the next
  Michaelmas term. These students will be reassessed in all failed
  components of the modules for which they obtained a score below 40%.
- Students who do not manage to pass the year at the reassessment
  session must repeat the year in full (i.e., they must repeat all their
  modules and all their assessment components).

These regulations apply since the academic year 2018/19.
