Student Advisement

• Who is my advisor? – Students with less than 29 credit without a College Seminar advisor are assigned to the Advisement Center. Otherwise, you can find your advisor's name on your degree audit online.
• How do I make an Advisement Appointment? - During priority registration, the professional advisors post appointment sheets outside their offices. To make an appointment, clearly write your name in an available time slot.

Grades and Academic Difficulty

• What is CUM, GPA, QPT or QHR? – A GPA is a student Grade Point Average. It is calculated by dividing the QPTS (or Quality Points) by the QHR (or Quality Hours). Quality Hours include "F"s but not "W"s. Quality Points derive from the student grade multiplied by the credits. For example, a student received a "B," a 3.0, in a 4-credit class. The Quality Points for that class would be 12. The Quality Hours would be 4. Therefore, the GPA for that course would be a 3.0. A student with a "B-" is a 2.7. A "B+" is a 3.3, etc. Luckily, the college transcript computes the student Quality Points each semester, then divides that by the semester's Quality Hours to get the student semester's GPA The CUM, or Cumulative GPA, simply is the GPA for the students entire career at Ramapo.
