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.
