1. RUTGERS TUTORIAL (NEWLY REVISED OCTOBER 2023) EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, IN A SLIDE SHOW...

2. AAHS works in conjunction with Rutgers University to provide students with the opportunity to earn college credits through the School of Health Professions To provide some further clarity about how this Rutgers collaboration works, I have created this detailed Rutgers Tutorial to help you along the way. CREDIT BY EXAMINATION This program allows secondary students to gain college credit while in high school provided, they pass the Rutgers School of Health-Related Professions (SHP) exam. In the event the Rutgers SHP exam is not successfully completed the student may still gain credit on the high school transcript if the student receives a passing grade in the course. In other words, students will receive a grade for the course on their AAHS transcript, which is separate from the grade and potential credit they can receives on a college level.

3. The courses that will be offered throughout your time at the Academy for Allied Health Sciences are: Anatomy and Physiology 1 mandatory for all AAHS 11th graders to take the Rutgers Exam (Spring) Anatomy and Physiology 2 optional for AAHS 12thgraders to take the Rutgers Exam (Spring) Dynamics of Healthcare in Society mandatory for all AAHS 10thgraders to take (Winter) Emergency and Clinical Care mandatory for all AAHS 10thgraders to take the Rutgers Exam (Spring) Fundamentals of Health and Wellness mandatory for all AAHS 12thgraders to take the Rutgers Exam (Winter) Introduction to Clinical Research optional for AAHS 12thgraders to take the Rutgers Exam (Spring & Winter) Medical Terminology mandatory for all AAHS 10thgraders to take the Rutgers Exam (Spring) Scientific Principles of Nutrition optional for AAHS 11thand 12thgraders to take the Rutgers Exam (Spring & Winter)

5. RUTGERS GRADING SYSTEM EXPLANATION Please note that the grade breakdown on the Rutgers Transcript is no longer by Transcript Grade (HP, P, LP, NC), but is now back to Letter Grade Only (A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, F) In other words, if your child receives a 95% on their Rutgers exam, the grade that will appear on their actual Rutgers Transcript will be an A (not a High Pass, HP, or 95) Please note that Rutgers does not round grades up. For example, if you receive an 89.8% on a Rutgers exam, they will not round it up to a 90%; therefore, in this example, you will receive a B+ on your Rutgers Transcript, and not an A- or a Pass (P) Please keep in mind that the all of the Rutgers Exams that were taken between Winter 2021 to Spring 2022 will continue to show the Transcript Grade as (High Pass (HP), Pass (P), Low Pass (LP), No Credit (NC), which is what you will see on the Rutgers Transcript. THIS NEW GRADING SYSTEM IS A CHANGE FROM ANY EXAM TAKEN BETWEEN WINTER 2021 TO SPRING 2022.

6. OLD RUTGERS GRADING SYSTEM (WINTER 2021 SPRING 2022) The grading scale, along with the grade scale values, will be printed on the back of all Rutgers transcripts in the legend. This helps colleges determine what an HP, LP, P and NC means. Transcript Grade Recommendation College Course Grade Equivalent HSC Credit by Exam Score HP High Pass A, A- 90-100% P Pass B+,B,B- 80-89% LP Low Pass C+,C,C- 70-79% NC No Credit D+ and below <70% The grade that you earn on your AAHS transcript is the grade that you earn in the course while at AAHS. This is different than your Rutgers Transcript grade, which is based on the Rutgers Exam only

7. NEW RUTGERS GRADING SYSTEM 2022-CURRENT RETURNING TO PREVIOUS GRADING SYSTEM BEFORE WINTER 2021 TRANSCRIPT GRADE HSC CREDIT BY EXAM SCORE GPA A 93.0 - 100 4.0 A- 90.0 - 92.9 3.7 B+ 87.0 - 89.9 3.3 B 83.0 - 86.9 3.0 B- 80.0 - 82.9 2.7 C+ 77.0 - 79.9 2.3 C 73.0 - 76.9 2.0 C- 70.0 - 72.9 1.7 D+ 67.0 - 69.9 1.3 D 63.0 - 66.9 1.0 F Less than 63 0.0

8. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GRADING What is the rationale for the new grading system? Why did it change? According to Rutgers, there were issues with the old grading policy (HP, P, LP, NC), that was used between Winter 2021 to Spring 2022. Rutgers reports, that in order to increase the colleges who would accept these college credits, Rutgers decided to change back to their previous grading system during the 2022-2023 school year. The new grading system, is the Standard Grading Model, and is the grading system that Rutgers uses for all students. Rutgers believes that this grading system will allow for these credits to be more transferable. The grading scale, along with the grade scale values will be printed on the back of all transcripts in the legend. This helps colleges determine what an HP, LP, P and NC means or what the current grading system means as well.

9. RUTGERS ENROLLMENT FORM All students MUST complete the Rutgers Enrollment Form for the Rutgers School of Health Professions This form will be distributed in the students AAHS CTE classes, and must be returned to their teacher with both the student and parent signature by the deadline set by Rutgers Students WILL NOT be permitted to sit for a Rutgers Exam for the Winter or Spring testing sessions without the receipt of their Rutgers Enrollment Form All students testing this year have completed the Rutgers Enrollment Form

10. RUTGERS EXAM PROCESS CHANGES Although the grading system for Rutgers exam scores will remain the same and continue to be based on letter grade only (A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, F), the processing of grades will no longer require a completed DocuSign submission, as in years past. Rather than completing the DocuSign, all students earning results of 73% or higher on their Rutgers exam will automatically be eligible for credits onto their Rutgers transcript, and that grade will automatically be put onto their Rutgers transcript. If you DO NOT wish to include your Rutgers exam grade on your Rutgers transcript, an Exemption Form must be submitted, which will be due within a 2-week window of release of Rutgers exam grade results. Students must have their parents sign and complete an Exemption Form if they do not wish to accept an eligible exam score for credit (Exemption Form attached to this email). Students/parents have every right to accept any grade to be added to a transcript. Therefore, students who score below 73% and wish to include that grade on their Rutgers transcript, can also do so by submitting an exemption form.

12. GRADE EXEMPTION REQUEST FORM Student should have parents sign and complete an exemption form if they DO NOT wish to accept an eligible exam score for credit These forms are due within 2 weeks of release of exam results .there will be no extensions or exceptions (Rutgers Policy) Students/parents have every right to accept any grade be added to a transcript Students who score below a 73% can submit an exemption form as well

13. SUMMARY All Rutgers grades of a 73% or higher will automatically be added to your Rutgers Transcript, unless you complete the Exemption Form and return it to me within 2 weeks of when you received your Rutgers grade. There will no longer be a mandatory DocuSign to approve your grade be included on your Rutgers Transcript Your grade is now an Opt Out, as indicated by the Exemption Form

22. Attention Seniors - PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY! Please use this Resource Guide in order to request your official Rutgers Transcript for your college/ university. You can indeed get a "partial" Rutgers transcript! Meaning, at any point, you can request your personal Rutgers Transcript following the steps in the attached Resource Guide. However, your request will contain only the following classes: 1. Those classes that you completed, took the test for and met the threshold for receiving credit 2. Do not expect a class to be on your Rutgers Transcript that you haven't taken the test for yet, such as A&P2 or Fundamentals if you are an AAHS senior student requesting your Rutgers Transcript 3. If you Did Not complete the Grade Exemption Request Form, and you received >72% on your Rutgers Exam, then that grade will automatically be placed on your Rutgers Transcript. 4. At the end of senior year, you will have to request an updated transcript for the senior year Rutgers courses you have taken. Please do not do this until at August following your AAHS Graduation year. This will change the way you report your classes for "College Classes You have Taken" on any application and self reported academic record platform, as you can now say, you do have a transcript. Please keep in mind that your FINALIZED Rutgers Transcripts will not be available until approximately the August (after your graduation). You MUST request another transcript at that time to ensure that all of your senior year exams are included on your Rutgers Transcript.
