Portuguese term or phrase: Insuficiente - rendimento nulo
In a transcript I am working on there is a legend which lists the grades A - E and their accompanying meanings. Is insuficiente "fail" and rendimento "low fail"? At my university we do have these two terms on our documents but I am unsure whether insuficiente actually means a fail or not.

Thank you. So, from what I understand it is poor performance but also it is a fail as they would need to repeat that particular paper/course?
