Grade and GPA Information

Grades/Numerical Values

Now that your grades are available through Self Service, we will be moving towards a paperless environment. However, we will be happy to provide you with a hard copy of your grades if you request it. Please contact the Registrar's Office at 973-290-4441 to request a copy of your grade report to be mailed to your home. 

In order to calculate your GPA, you will need the credits earned per class. 

• You will first calculate GRADE POINTS earned per course, by multiplying CREDITS X NUMERICAL VALUE OF THE GRADE EARNED (this must be done for each individual course).
• Add up all GRADE POINTS and CREDITS separately.
• Next, use the GRADE POINTS you just calculated, and divide them by the CREDITS.

For Example: To calculate your MAJOR GPA, take each course you have completed within the department (i.e. If you are an English major with a Literature concentration, you will use all courses that are required to complete the major/concentration...refer to the college catalog. )

ENG247 you received a B+ 

• 3 Credits X 3.33 = 9.99 GRADE POINTS

ENG201 you received an A-

• 3 Credits X 3.67 = 11.01 GRADE POINTS

ENG401 you received a C+

• 3 Credits X 2.33 = 6.99

ENGLISH MAJOR GPA=

27.99 (Grade Points) Divided by 9 (Credits) = 3.11
