Any student who has not been registered at Rutgers University-Newark for
at least eight consecutive semesters (Fall and Spring semesters) may
elect for grade forgiveness. This would mean grades of D and F for
courses taken at
Rutgers University during the previous period of enrollment would be
expunged
from the calculation of their grade-point average. Any requirements that
are being fulfilled with a D grade would no longer be fulfilled (i.e.
General Education courses only - all RBS requires C grades or
higher to be marked as complete).
These D and F grades will continue to appear
on the student's transcript. This grade forgiveness policy will not apply to XF
grades, which signify a failing grade given as a result of the student's having
been found guilty of an academic integrity violation.
