An undergraduate student’s academic rank within the class cohort is determined by the cumulative grade point average (CGPA). This  average is computed by multiplying the numerical value of the grade received in each course taken for degree credit, and to be included in the average, 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 is divided by the total credits of those courses. 1)   Numerical Grade  Equivalent(s)  x Credit(s) = Grade Point(s)             A=4, B+=3.5, B=3, C+=2.5, C=2, D=1, F=0 2)   Semester or Term Grade Points/Semester or Term Credit(s) = Semester or Term Grade Point Average 3)   Total Grade Points /Total Credits = Cumulative Grade Point Average Students who have transferred from other accredited colleges/universities may receive advanced standing for courses taken, as determined by the transfer credit evaluation; however, non-Rutgers grades are not recorded on the academic records, nor are such grades calculated in the cumulative grade-point average.  The CGPA appearing on the academic record is a reflection of the scholastic performance of the student only while enrolled at Rutgers University and is the basis for the determination of academic standing and any academic honors or penalties.
