Grade Conversion Tables for Study Abroad Grade conversion tables for study abroad NB These tables should only be used to convert grades FROM study abroad TO University of Glasgow grades. They should NOT be used to indicate the equivalence of University of Glasgow Grades to those from other institutions. Translation of Grades Working Group – November 2020 [minor updates – August 2021] Revised March 2019 Minor correction November 2019 Argentina Argentina Glasgow Grade 10 A1 9 A4 8 B1 7 B3 6 C2 5 D1 4 D3 3 E2 2 F2 1 G2 Rationale The table is based on the current partnership with Universidad del Salvador. Subjects with Partners in Argentina: University-wide Australia Australia Glasgow Grade 90-100% A1 85-89 A3 80-84 A5 75-79 B1 70-74 B2 65-69 B3 60-64 C1 55-59 C3 50-54 D2 44-49 E1 39-43 E2 34-38 E3 29-33 F1 24-28 F2 19-23 F3 14-18 G1 9-13 G2 0-8 H 2 University of Queensland Grade Glasgow Grade 7 (High Distinction) A2 6 (Distinction) A4 5 (Credit) B2 4 (Pass) C2 3 (Limited Pass) D2 2 (Fail) E2 1 (Fail) F2 Queensland University of Technology Grade Glasgow Grade 7 (85-100%) A1 6 (80-84%) A4 6 (75-79%) B1 5 (70-74%) B2 5 (65-69%) B3 4 (60-64%) C1 4 (50-59%) C3 3 (47-49%) D2 2 (35-46%) E2 2 (25-34%) F2 1 (0-24%) G1 Rationale The University of Queensland uses a different scale which precludes it from the national table above. Currently, Glasgow uses a unique conversion table for each of its Australian partners, notably with varying cut off points for failing grades (see QUT 7-point scale). Generally, Glasgow is more lenient particularly in the lower part of the spectrum than other UK institutions and so this national table attempts to standardise the grade classifications. Subjects with Partners in Australia University-wide Austria Austria Glasgow Grade 1 A3 2 B2 3 C2 4 D2 5 E2 Rationale The table is in line with Glasgow - ECTS – Austria conversion. This also brings Glasgow more in line with other institutions. 3 Subjects with Partners in Austria: Education, Accounting and Finance, Economics, Business and Management Azerbaijan Azerbaijan Glasgow Grade A (4.0) A3 A- (3.7) A5 B+ (3.3) B1 B (3.0) B2 B- (2.7) B3 C+ (2.3) C1 C (2.0) C2 C- (1.7) C3 D+ (1.3) D1 D (1.0) D2 D- (0.0) D3 F (0.0) E2 Rationale The table is based on Glasgow’s only partnership in Azerbaijan with Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy University.

  • Salary Administration & Classification Policy
    Salary Administration & Classification, 3.10 University Policy Applies to: Staff Responsible Office Office of Human Resources POLICY Issued: 10/01/1973 Revised: 01/03/2021 (minor revision) Edited: 06/03/2021 The university promotes compensation strategies, combined with benefits and perquisites that maximize the recruitment, performance and retention of quality staff. *This policy will be administered by Health System Human Resources (in coordination with the Office of Human Resources) for Health System staff. Policy Details I. Salary Administration A. Compensation principles 1. The achievement of excellence within each college or vice presidential unit is the primary measure of compensation strategy success. The concept of excellence includes: a. Attracting and retaining quality staff. b. Investing in performance. c. Achieving an appropriate environment of equity. d. Encouraging the development of both expertise in a specialized area and the ability to utilize a broad set of knowledge and skills. 2. The compensation rate of a position is primarily established by relevant competitive markets, the impact of the position or team on the mission of the unit and available funding. Salary patterns within a job title may vary by the credentials and performance of staff occupying individual positions. Colleges, hospitals and vice presidential units should pay particular attention to equity patterns. Cash compensation is the most visible part of total compensation. However, non-cash compensation should also be considered in determining the appropriate level of compensation for an individual staff member. 3. Salary increases are awarded based on merit, which includes performance, internal and external equity and the impact of the position or team on the mission of the unit and the university.

  • 5.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT (Improvements)
    5.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT (improvements) This document is the fifth revision to the original Mountain Master Plan for the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR). Although very similar to the plan that was submitted to and accepted by the Forest Service in 2004, a moderate number of changes have been made throughout this development proposal. Many of the changes consist of proposed summer activities. The improvements recommended for the upgrading and expansion of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort reflect identified resource opportunities and constraints in conjunction with the findings that resulted from the analysis of existing facilities. The improvements also incorporate the expectation for continued growth in demand and recognize skier preferences as indicated by market research. The purpose of the Master Plan is to produce a road map for development that ensures the greatest practical use of the existing lands, while remaining sensitive to myriad environmental considerations. The Master Plan is a dynamic document and will be implemented to reflect market demand. It is the objective of the development process to produce a high quality experience, both winter and summer, throughout the recreation area located within the Special Use Permit (SUP) boundary. Accordingly, the plan is tailored to improve Jackson Hole’s ability to respond to market needs/skier demands through development of a more year-round resort experience. This should not only improve the ski area’s current market niche, but also help to attract new users on a year-round basis. Starting in 2005, the focus of improvements at the resort shifted from projects outlined in the 2004 plan to replacing the old Aerial Tram.
