failing grade
Below passing mark
A failing grade is a mark indicating that a student has not met the minimum requirements to pass a course or assignment.
In American schools, this is typically an F or sometimes a D, depending on the institution's standards.
The consequences range from having to repeat a course to academic probation: He got a failing grade in chemistry and had to retake it over the summer.
