There are four Grading systems (or scales) in Greece - four different GPA - one for higher education, one for secondary education, and two for primary education (grades 1 to 3 and 4 to 6).

|---|---|---|---|
| Ἀριστα (Excellent) (8.50 - 10.00) | ECTS A | A,A+ | First-Class Honours* (First or 1st) (70% - 100%) |

| No assessment/award at the end of 4th or 5th year, until all modules, from all years, are passed successfully. Years are extended. | C-,D | Third-Class Honours (Third or 3rd) (40% - 49%) | |
| Withdrawal | F | Ordinary degree(Pass) (without Honours) (35% - 39%)[a] Fail (0% - 34%) |
|
| Other: Aegrotat degree HND (Higher National Diploma) for 2 years completed[b] HNC (Higher National Certificate) for 1 year completed[b] |
Most of the degrees can be equivalent to a bachelor's degree with honours BSc(Hons) / BEng(Hons) since all courses are 4 to 5 years and most of them professionally accredited. All modules, from all years, must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.00 (50%) in order for a degree to be assessed/awarded and there is currently no limit in resits. The classification (Ἀριστα, Λίαν Καλὠς, Καλὠς) is derived from the overall credit-weighted average for all modules including the 'diplomatiki' (university/polytechnic) or 'ptichiaki' (ATEI).
