Grade Point Average
The student’s overall academic standing is indicated by a grade point average. The grade point average is determined by dividing the total grade points earned by the total number of semester hours calculated. Numerical points for each letter grade is listed above. The cumulative average is determined only on courses taken at Kean University. Graduate students are allowed to a receive a maximum of two grades of “C.” Any additional grades of “C” must be repeated. Grades of “F,” “IN,” “AF,” and “NC” require repeating to meet college and/or course requirements.
Omissions or errors in grade compilation should immediately be reported to the Office of the Registrar. Questions regarding letter grades assigned by an instructor should be discussed directly with the instructor as soon as possible and no later than the last day of the eighth week of the subsequent major (fall or spring) semester. This timeline does not apply to graduating seniors; change of grades must be completed no later than two weeks after the graduation date. Example: For May degree candidates the change of grade must be completed no later than two weeks after the May ceremony. For January and August candidates, no later than the end of the month. A change of grade will not be permitted after the degree has been posted.
