The graduate faculty accepts for graduate credit only a limited number of courses in which a student earns a grade of C+ or C (see details on scholastic standing in the M.B.A. Degree Requirements section). A grade of F is assigned to students who fail to earn credit in a course they completed and to students who do not complete a course from which they have not withdrawn officially.

Additional Grading Symbols

INC (Incomplete). May be assigned at the discretion of an instructor who believes that an extension of time is warranted for a student whose work is incomplete at the end of the semester. Within any period agreed to by the instructor and the student, incomplete work may be made up, and a change of grade may be authorized by the instructor. This makeup period may not extend for more than two semesters beyond the original course registration (excluding Summer Session). Incompletes generated in a Summer Session course must be completed by the end of the following Summer Session. Programs may establish shorter time limits. Students with two or more incompletes are not permitted to register for additional courses until one semester after they have completed the incompletes.

S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory). For 700-level courses of research carrying credit or in regular courses taken as "not-for-credit" (N prefix).

W (Withdrawal). Officially withdrew.

Credit Prefixes
The number of credits appearing on course records and registration cards may be preceded by a letter prefix as follows:

E. Course excluded from credit toward a degree; all course requirements must be completed and a regular grade is assigned.

G. A 300- or 400-level undergraduate course for which credit toward the graduate degree sought has been approved.

K. Course taken as a nonmatriculant; not counted towards a degree.

N. Course taken "not-for-credit." The final examination is not required. A final grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) is assigned. Graduate students registering for undergraduate courses are subject to the credit prefix rules of the undergraduate division offering the course.

Transcripts
Requests for official transcripts should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar, Records and Transcripts, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 249 University Avenue, Newark, NJ 07102-1896. The request should indicate that the student was enrolled in RBS, identify the dates of attendance, and give any other relevant information. It must be received at least 10 working days before the date the transcript is desired. Forms for making the request may be obtained from the records and transcripts department or they may be printed from the registrar's website
