* In an episode of ''[[Kids Next Door]],'' Numbuh One recieves a Double F Minus for a report. In a later episode, Numbuh Five gets a Double F Minus for claiming a dog ate her homework (which actually happened), and then warned by the teacher that it is possible to get a '''Triple''' F Minus in her class.

* In ''[[Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?]]'', everyone in the class got an F, some getting an F-, one getting an F'''[[Downplayed Trope|+]]''', and the title ~~character--the~~ only passing person in the ~~class--getting~~ a [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|C-]], and proceeding to go out of his way to negotiate with the scantron to get a better grade because it was "below average".

* In England and Wales, in addition to the normal set of grades, it's possible to receive a 'U' (unclassified) at both GCSE and A-level. This can mean you didn't score highly enough to be offered a certificate. While GCSEs have eight grades in total, they are actually a ~~subversion -- you~~ can only actually attain five of the grades, depending on which paper you choose to sit. The 'higher' paper allows you to get grades A* to D, while the 'foundation' paper covers grades C to G. If you don't do well enough to get the minimum grade attainable on either paper you get a 'U'. If you don't even bother to sit through the exam then you get an X.

* In Ireland, you can also be "awarded" an NG, which stands for <s> [[Sarcasm Mode|Natural Genius]]</s> No Grade, meaning that you performed so badly that you don't even deserve an F.

* Most US universities allow a grade of "I", meaning "incomplete." However, this is usually just a temporary placeholder, indicating the student has a certain amount of time to make up for missed work. If that is not done then the grade converts to an F.
