LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University student Mohamed Bouftas appeared to have a grade-point average of 3.85, until it was learned he was forging professors' signatures to change grades of F, D, C and B+ to A.

His real GPA is 1.68, and his legal status is convicted felon for forgery.

Bouftas, 23, of West Lafayette, admitted to three forgery convictions in April, and he received a four-year sentence Friday. His sentence was suspended and he was put on probation, according to the court.

A person in Purdue's Registrar's Office noticed the grade-change form that appeared suspicious. The registrar's staff asked the professor why she used the paper form to change the grade instead of the online portal.
