RUTGERS TUTORIAL EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, IN A SLIDE SHOW...
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. IMPORTANT .All courses that you approve via DocuSign will be included on your child s Rutgers Transcript upon request, which can potentially earn students credit at their undergraduate institution. PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE DOCUSIGN, THEN THAT SPECIFIC COURSE(S) WILL NOT BE ON YOUR RUTGERS TRANSCRIPT, AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO EARN COLLEGE CREDIT FOR THAT SPECIFIC COURSE(S)
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)

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 would receive a B+ on your Rutgers Transcript, and not an A- or a Pass (P) Please keep in mind that the all 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.
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
NEW RUTGERS GRADING SYSTEM 2022-2023 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
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION 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 for 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.
REQUIREMENTS In order to ensure that every student has exactly what they want to be included on their Rutgers transcript, we will send a letter home after every Rutgers testing session, which will reflect your individual grade(s) earned for the exam. We are asking for every family to carefully look over the Rutgers exam score(s) from the specific Rutgers exam(s) taken and identify which grade(s) you would like to be included on each student s transcript via DocuSign. Rutgers requires that you decide which Rutgers exam grade will go on your Rutgers Transcript after every exam taken. Therefore, you will receive a letter sent home from me after every testing session throughout your time at AAHS. (February & June) PLEASE SAVE ALL CORRESPONDENCES SENT HOME FOR FUTURE REFERENCE FOR COLLEGE!
MOST COMMON MISTAKES 1. Numerical grades are input onto the DocuSign instead of the Rutgers required Letter Grade. For example . If you received a 95% on the Med Term Exam, then you should put an A on the DocuSign DO NOT put a 95% or an HP...only put an A in the chart on the DocuSign 2. The Instructor Initial column on the DocuSign is either missing or filled in for everything You should only be putting the Instructor Initial (JG) next to the Rutgers Exam that you took on the DocuSign and wish to include on your Rutgers Transcript. You should always put JG for the Instructor Initial, even if Jason Gray (JG) did not teach your AAHS class, as he is listed as our head teacher with Rutgers.
MOST COMMON MISTAKES CONTINUED 3. All the previous exams taken by the student (from previous years) are put on the DocuSign. Only put the grade(s) of the exam(s) that you took for that testing session on the DocuSign. Rutgers DOES NOT allow duplicate DocuSigns. Please DO NOT submit previous grades of exams taken from previous years or testing sessions!!! You will receive 2 letters from me each school year, if your child takes a Rutgers exam during the Winter (February) and Spring (June) testing sessions. There should be two separate DocuSigns completed each year...one for the Winter Rutgers exams and one for the Spring Rutgers Exams Rutgers changed their grading policy between Winter 2021 to Spring 2022. All exams taken between Winter 2021 to Spring 2022 will have the Rutgers equivalent grades on it (HP, P, LP, NC). All exams taken starting this Winter 2022, will have the Letter Grade (A, A-, B+, B, etc )
MOST COMMON MISTAKES CONTINUED 4. My email address is entered incorrectly on the DocuSign (Step 2 in the directions), so the completed DocuSign does not get emailed to me Step 2 of the DocuSign asks for your email please put jmirabella@ucvts.org If you complete the DocuSign correctly, you should receive an email confirmation to your personal email address, and be able to download a pdf version of the DocuSign. Please make sure to save this document for your records. For whatever reason if I do not receive the DocuSign from you, I will reach out to you via email. You can just send me that pdf version as confirmation (jmirabella@ucvts.org) 5. The DocuSign is incomplete (missing signatures, class grade, address etc ) There are two parts of the DocuSign .if you follow the step-by-step prompts, it will direct you to go to your personal email to finalize the DocuSign. If you do not do this step, then the DocuSign will not be complete, and Rutgers will not accept it. The most commonly made mistake is the missing grade and instructor initial filled in on the DocuSign chart.
MOST COMMON MISTAKES CONTINUED 6. The DocuSign was completed in-full even though I do not want a grade on my child s Rutgers Transcript If you DO NOT wish to include the grade you earned on the Rutgers Exam(s) on your Rutgers Transcript or if you want one grade to appear on your Rutgers Transcript and not the other grade for that testing session, than please do the following: Complete the DOCUSIGN . Please include the course that you want to include on the Rutgers Transcript on the chart, with the letter grade and instructor initials For any and every grade that you DO NOT want to include on the Rutgers Transcript, please do not complete the chart for that course(s) and complete the section on the DocuSign that says...Please exclude the following courses: ________________ **EVERYONE MUST COMPLETE THE DOCUSIGN, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO INCLUDE THE GRADE ON YOUR CHILD S RUTGERS TRANSCRIPT.
HELPFUL HINTS & REMINDERS Please remember that I am always happy to help. I kindly ask that when you call me or email me with regards to your child s Rutgers exam or DocuSign, please make sure that you include your child s first and last name, along with the exam(s) that they took. jmirabella@ucvts.org 908-889-8288 x847

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, AND COMPLETED THE DOCUSIGN Process. 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. Do not expect a class that you did not complete the DOCUSIGN process for, to be 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 least late August/early September 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 end of August/early September (after your graduation) or 30-45 days after your final paperwork/DocuSigns have been received. You MUST request another transcript at that time to ensure that all of your senior year exams are included on your Rutgers Transcript.
