Grading System Overview

Rider University uses a plus/minus letter grading system. Grades carrying grade-point value, from highest to lowest, are A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, and F; there is no A+ grade and no D+ or D- grade. The 'D' grade is not given at the graduate level in the School of Education and Human Services, the Norm Brodsky College of Business, or Westminster Choir College.

Several transcript notations carry no grade point value and are not computed in the GPA: I (Incomplete), L (Late grade), N (Registered; did not attend), AU (Audit), P (Pass), S (Satisfactory progress), U (Failure in pass/fail course), W (Withdrawal), Y (Satisfactory completion of supplemental education course), Z (Insufficient progress in supplemental education course), and NCR (No credit). The 'N' and 'W' notations are still counted in the total semester hours attempted for tuition purposes.

How the GPA Is Calculated

To compute the grade point average, a course's quality points are determined by multiplying its number of credits by the number of quality points for its letter grade. The grade point average (GPA) is then determined by dividing the total number of quality points by the number of GPA hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at Rider University?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at Rider University?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this Rider University GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
Does Rider University award an A+ grade?

No. Rider's grading scale runs from A (4.0) down to F (0.0) with no A+ grade at any level, undergraduate or graduate.

Is the 'D' grade used in every Rider program?

Not at the graduate level. Rider's graduate catalog states the 'D' grade is not given in the School of Education and Human Services, the Norm Brodsky College of Business, or Westminster Choir College.

Do W, I, and other transcript notations affect a Rider student's GPA?

No. Rider's catalog states that I (Incomplete), L (Late grade), N (Registered; did not attend), AU (Audit), P (Pass), S (Satisfactory progress), U (Failure in pass/fail course), W (Withdrawal), Y, Z, and NCR all carry no grade point value and are not computed in the GPA.
