The student's scholastic standing is determined by his or her semester grade-point average, cumulative grade-point average, and professional grade-point average. See the University Policies and Procedures section for
information on the computation of the cumulative grade-point average
and other grading regulations.
The cumulative grade-point
average includes all courses completed at Rutgers used to satisfy the
degree requirements in the pharmacy program. The professional
grade-point average includes all courses completed at Rutgers with the
school codes of 30 and 31. (The Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy administrative code is 30 through
the first four years of the Pharm.D. program. A code of 31 is used in
the last two years of the doctoral program.) The professional grade-point average can be checked in Degree Navigator online.
When students earn a
grade of D or F in a course, the course, with permission, may be
repeated; however, both grades will be included in the student's
averages and both remain on the student's transcript. Grades received
at another institution are not included in either the cumulative or the
professional grade-point averages. If a student is authorized to repeat
a course at another institution, the grade and credits originally
earned in the course at Rutgers remain part of the student's
transcript.
