In many countries including the United States, grades are given on an A-F system where A is best and F is worst. Some schools have E as the lowest grade, rather than F. The letter E is typically omitted, since an F can be turned into an E by drawing a small line at the bottom of the letter, and because E traditionally stood for Excellent but would be very poor on an A-F system. A few US institutions do use the letter E for "conditional failure," which automatically becomes an F unless the instructor takes specific action in the next semester. In practice, even at institutions whose grading systems have this grade, it is very rarely used. An F grade is failing and results in denial of course credit, while a D is poor, but passing.

In Michigan there are "E" grades. An E just means you failed. They don't give F's.
