Grades

The French Discipline at Morris works regularly with the French grading scale of 0 - 20. After you’ve studied abroad and we receive your transcript, the French Discipline will convert your French grade to an American A-F grade using an international grade conversion chart. The grading scale in France is 0 - 20 with 20 as the highest grade. No one ever receives a 20. Grades above 16 are rare. The average grade is 10.
