Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about course weighting, scales, and college reporting.
Rutgers calculates cumulative GPA by dividing total earned grade points by total attempted degree credits. Rutgers uses a unique intermediate half-step scale: A = 4.00, B+ = 3.50, B = 3.00, C+ = 2.50, C = 2.00, D = 1.00, and F = 0.00.
