Grades

What are the acceptable grades that can be assigned?

If you are using REGIS, the online grading system, the list of valid grades appears at the top of the online roster.  If you are submitting grades using the paper roster distributed by the Registrar, the list of valid grades appears in the cover memo that accompanies it.

A grade of NG (no grade given) is assigned to a student who has not attended the course. In addition, where no grade is assigned on the final grade roster by the faculty member, the Registrar shall assign the NG. The NG will have no immediate effect on a student's GPA, however, if the situation is not resolved within the following semester, the NG will convert to an F, and the GPA will be recalculated accordingly.

The TZ should only be assigned when a student is unable to complete the semester's course work due to a verifiable emergency situation. The student and faculty member should endeavor to reach an agreement as soon as possible as to how the course should be completed. The TZ will have no immediate effect on a student's GPA, however, if the situation is not resolved within the following semester, the TZ will convert to an F, and the GPA will be recalculated accordingly.

The TF is assigned if the student does not complete the course work required, or has not taken the final exam. The TF will be calculated into the GPA immediately. If the course work is not made up within the following semester, the TF converts to an F.

How do you change a grade?

Grade Change Forms are available at your department office - check with your department secretary. All requests for a grade change must first be signed by the course instructor and sent to the Department Chair for signed approval. Next, the form is forwarded to the appropriate Dean's Office for signature. The completed form is finally forwarded to the Registrar’s Office, Records/Grades Department [ASB, Room 200L, Busch Campus (732)445-3260] for posting to the student’s permanent record. Copies of the corrected transcript are sent to the academic dean of the student’s college. The student may verify the grade change online at: https://www.acs.rutgers.edu/grades or on RTTRS Phone System (732)445-1999. New transcripts may be ordered through the Registrar's Transcripts Office [ASB, Room 200L, Busch Campus (732)445-3536] or online at: http://transcripts.rutgers.edu

How do you Submit Warnings and Grades?

It is vital that you submit both your Warning Roster and your Grade Roster in a timely manner! You must submit Warning Rosters and Grade Rosters on the return dates indicated on the transmittal letter sent with the roster. You may choose to submit your Warning Roster and Grade Roster online -- directly to the Registar’s Office via the web (read the instructions included elsewhere on this website), or you may continue to submit paper rosters to your Department Secretary, or in person at the University Recorder's Office, ASB, Room 200L, Busch Campus.

The following are the warnings that can be submitted on the Warning Roster:

W1 = Warning for poor performance
W2 = Warning for poor attendance
W3 = Warning for poor performance and poor attendance

Timely submission of your Grade Roster by the date specified on the transmittal letter could be crucial in determining a student’s graduation -- it may hinge on the successful completion of your course!

PLEASE NOTE: The University has advised that class rosters displaying student’s I.D. numbers (Social Security Numbers) are not to be circulated for attendance purposes. All student I.D. numbers must be covered, whitened out, etc. before rosters are displayed.
