Other Grade Symbols:
IN (Incomplete). May be assigned at the discretion
of an instructor of a graduate course who believes that an extension of
time is warranted for a student whose work is incomplete at the end of
the course. (Unresolved incomplete grades may convert to failing grades
in some courses. Consult the course instructor.) Incompletes assigned
in a WinterSession must be completed in accordance with the regulations
of the faculty offering the course. IN (Incomplete) grade is not used
in undergraduate courses.
NG (No Grade). Where no grade is assigned on the
final grade roster by the faculty member the Registrar shall assign NG
(No Grade Given). The NG will have no immediate effect on the student's
GPA, however, if the situation is not resolved within the Spring
semester, the NG will convert to an F, and the GPA will be recalculated
accordingly.
P/NC (Pass/No Credit). A grade of Pass (equivalent
to grades of A, B+, B, C+, and C) or No Credit (equivalent to grades of
D and F) is assigned to a student who has registered for his or her
course on that basis. Visiting students are not permitted to take
courses on a P/NC (Pass/No Credit) basis. Only Rutgers University
students may take courses on a P/NC basis, when such registration is in
accord with the regulations of the student's college and the faculty
offering the course. Request for P/NC grading must be made at the time
of registration by inserting the symbol P or NC in the "credit hour
prefix" column on the registration form. This option may not be made or
changed after registration is completed.
S, U. Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory. (Used with graduate research or official audit)
T (Temporary). Grades of TB+, TB, TC+, TC, TD, and TF are
temporary grades given in undergraduate courses. Temporary grades are
given at the discretion of the instructor when the student has not
properly completed the course work requirements, i.e., major
assignments or examinations. The letter grade following the T
represents the grade the instructor would assign if the outstanding
work were to remain uncompleted. The temporary grade becomes permanent
if the work is not completed as required. In no case is the permanent
grade poorer than the assigned letter grade. WinterSession T grades
must be completed by May 1. TZ (Temporary Grade). Student did not
attend. Becomes F if still on the record by May 1. W (Withdrawal). Used
when a student officially drops a course prior to the seventh calendar
day preceding the ending date of the course. This grade is assigned by
the Registrar upon formal withdrawal from a course.
A student’s cumulative grade-point average is computed by
multiplying the grade received in each course taken for credit (and to
be included in the average) by the number of credits the course is
worth. The grade points earned in all such courses are then added
together and the sum divided by the total credits of those courses.
