Individuals who complete courses at Rutgers as nonmatriculating students while enrolled in high school are offered the option of receiving E credits for such courses upon matriculation at Rutgers. If this option is pursued, the courses do not earn degree credits and grades are not counted in the cumulative grade-point average; course titles and grades appear on the academic transcript with an E prefix. If degree credit is granted, grades are com- puted in the cumulative grade-point average. This policy includes courses taken during the summer following high school graduation.
