(B) Very good – 81-90 points of the maximum assessment;
(C) Good – 71-80 points of the maximum assessment;
(D) Satisfactory – 61-70 points of the maximum assessment;

The student’s assessment takes place during the entire academic semester. Consequently, the student’s final assessment is the sum of interim assessments and final exam results.
Final examination maximum score is 40 of the total 100 points; the remaining 60 points are distributed according to interim assessments.
Only the students who have earned the minimal number of 25 points during the semester through interim assessments are allowed to take the final exam.
Students who do not have a compulsory minimum score (25) will not be admitted to the final examination. The minimum mandatory score for the final exam is 16.
In order to determine the student's final rating and to encourage them to study well, the cumulative score, Grade Point Average* (GPA) is calculated at the end of the academic process (grade point average is also calculated at the end of each semester).
| * Grade point average (GPA) is calculated as follows: The points accumulated by the student in each course are multiplied by the number of credits for the specific course and then the total sum of these numbers is divided by the number of credits earned by the student.* |
To complete the Undergraduate Program in History, students must earn 240 credits.

During one academic year students accumulate 60 credits, i.e. 30 credits per semester, however, depending on the student's individual schedule, the number of credits per year can be either more or less than 60, but not more than 75.
