Career Services Class Ranking of Students
Rutgers University School of Law - Camden does not provide class ranking of students. Class ranking was eliminated by the law school's faculty in 1972 in order to avoid the pitfalls and prejudices that may result from a system suggesting a substantial difference between students who, in fact, have a small numerical difference in grade point averages. In the faculty's view, the ranking system did not accurately reflect the relative abilities or potential of the law school's students and graduates.
The law school's grading system consists of the following letter grades and numerical equivalents:
Each semester, Rutgers - Camden identifies Dean's Scholars who represent the top 5% of the student body as measured by grade point average for that term; a Dean's List is published to recognize the next 20% of the student body for the semester. In addition, three honors categories are bestowed at graduation, designated as follows:
Highest Honors - Determined by the faculty
High Honors - Determined by the faculty
Honors - Top 15% of the graduating Class
