Additional Information

Grading System

Students are permanently evaluated through their active involvement in class and conferences, quizzes, reports, written exams and other special assignments. Evaluation procedures and tools and their relative value are established by each professor at the beginning of each term and detailed in the corresponding syllabus. In addition to academic performance, evaluation also takes into account the ethics and sense of responsibility students demonstrate in class. The Peruvian evaluation scheme considers a scale from 0 to 20, where 12 is the minimum passing grade.

At the end of the period of study, ESAN provides the home institution with a report of the courses taken and grades achieved by each exchange student. Transfer of academic credits is determined by the home institution.
