Cumulative Grade-Point Average


A student's academic rank is determined by the cumulative grade-point average. This weighted average is computed by multiplying the numerical value of the grade received in each course taken for credit by the number of credits the course is worth to obtain the grade points earned in that course. The grade points earned in all such courses are then added together and the sum divided by the total credits of those courses.

Grade (Numerical Equivalent) x Credits = Grade Points

Total Grade Points / Total Credits = Cumulative Grade-Point Average

Students who have transferred from other colleges receive advanced standing for courses taken, as determined by evaluation; however, non-Rutgers grades are not recorded on the academic records, nor are such grades calculated in the cumulative grade-point average. The cumulative grade-point average appearing on the academic record is a reflection of the scholastic performance of the student only while enrolled in the Rutgers system and is the basis for the determination of academic standing and any academic honors or penalties.
