How Rutgers University-Newark calculates GPA
Rutgers University-Newark calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course’s grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.
The Rutgers Newark grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Rutgers Newark scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: Rutgers University-Newark uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A student who repeats a course after earning a D or F has only the higher of the two grades computed in the cumulative GPA; the original grade stays on the transcript and degree credit is awarded once.
Academic standing
cumulative GPA below 2.000, or one semester GPA below 1.750

| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|

Good to know
Rutgers-Newark's undergraduate schools use a 7-letter scale with no plus/minus grades below B+/C+ (no A-, B-, C-, D+, D-), unlike the standard 12-step US scale.
Every figure here was read from Rutgers Newark’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so instead of presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
