New Jersey City University (NJCU) GPA Calculator

Beyond the standard letter grades, NJCU's undergraduate catalog defines several special grade notations:

• Pass/Fail (P/F): for certain electives, General Education Program electives or academic minors, and certain major courses at departmental discretion, a student may request a final grade of Pass or Fail instead of a letter grade by filing a Pass/Fail form with the Registrar's Office; the election cannot be changed once filed.
• Withdrawal (W): a student who files an official Withdrawal Form receives a "W" on the transcript instead of a letter grade.
• Incomplete (IN): used only in extraordinary circumstances to grant more time to finish coursework; the deadline to resolve an "IN" is the last day of classes of the next semester, after which it automatically converts to "FI."
• Repeat (R): used only for Academic Foundation courses (catalog number below 100, e.g. ENG 95/96, MATH 95) when a student shows progress but not enough to pass; the course must be repeated or progress demonstrated through a supplemental program.

NJCU calculates GPA each semester by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, then dividing the total grade points by the total credit hours attempted; the cumulative GPA (CGPA) applies the same method across all semesters. Failing grades reduce the GPA because the zero-point value is averaged in rather than excluded.

A student may repeat a course once and have the lower of the two grades excluded from the GPA through grade recomputation, applied automatically by the Registrar's Office, up to a maximum of 16 credits; both grades remain on the official transcript with an explanatory note.
