How grades convert to points here

Grades at Rutgers University carry plus/minus modifiers with distinct point values: A- at 3.7, B+ at 3.3, and so on down the scale. Those 0.3-point steps accumulate, and they are the usual reason a transcript that looks like "mostly A's" lands at 3.7 rather than 4.0.

Latin honors at Rutgers University

Rutgers University awards Latin honors against fixed GPA cutoffs: 3.2 for cum laude, 3.5 for magna cum laude, and 3.8 for summa cum laude.

Because these are absolute rather than relative thresholds, honors at Rutgers University is not a competition against your cohort. Everyone clearing 3.80 earns summa, however many that turns out to be.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

The Dean's List threshold is a 3.50 term GPA. Because it resets every term, it is the one recognition that is always reachable next semester no matter what your transcript looks like today.
