How The College of New Jersey calculates GPA
The College of New Jersey 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 TCNJ grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the TCNJ scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there is no D-.
Failing grade: The College of New Jersey uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Only the highest of the attempts is calculated into the cumulative GPA; all attempts remain on the transcript.
Academic standing
Cumulative GPA below 1.75 (up to 8 course units attempted) or below 2.0 (above 8 units)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.6-3.74 |
| magna cum laude | 3.75-3.89 |
| summa cum laude | 3.9+ |
Dean’s List
The College of New Jersey names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5 with 3 full letter-graded course units per semester.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic intervention / probation: Cumulative GPA below 1.75 (up to 8 course units attempted) or below 2.0 (above 8 units).
Dismissal: Placed on Academic Probation for any two consecutive semesters, or three total semesters.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| Up to 8 course units | 1.75-<2.0 = Intervention; <1.75 = Probation |
| Above 8 course units | <2.0 = Probation |

Good to know
Every figure here was read from TCNJ’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.
