Guidelines for Reporting Grades

Students may include their cumulative numeric average on resumes provided they do not round their average. Rankings are based upon numeric averages and are very specific; a change of two or three hundredths of a point can mean a substantial change in a student's rank. For example, an average of 84.57 may NOT be reported as 84.6.

Semester averages may be included on resumes as long as they are clearly labeled as such and are reported in addition to the overall numeric average.

Students who have not yet been ranked may provide their current average on the resume and include a statement concerning the date by which official ranks will be available.
