How grading works at Baruch College
Baruch College uses a 4.0 grade point average scale to determine a student's academic standing. Letter grades are assigned grade points according to the grading table, each with a corresponding percentage equivalent range.
Grades are grouped as: A and A- are Excellent, B+, B, and B- are Very good, C+ and C are Average, C-, D+, and D are Poor, and F is Failure.

Which grades count toward your GPA at Baruch
Not every grade on a Baruch transcript factors into your GPA. The P (Pass) grade, used under the Pass/Fail option and for certain non-credit-bearing and internship courses, is not included in GPA calculation. CR (Credit earned, for example transfer credit, military service, or exemption credit) is not included in computation of the scholastic index or in computing class standing. The Y grade, assigned for work in progress on a multi-semester Honors sequence, is also not included in calculating the grade point average and is replaced by the earned letter grade once the sequence is complete.
An INC (Incomplete) grade is temporary. If it isn't resolved within the grace period, it lapses to a grade of FIN, which is calculated as an F in your cumulative GPA.
