This resource is a tool designed to estimate a student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) at a specific higher education institution. It utilizes the university’s grading system, weighting each grade earned in a course by the number of credit hours the course is worth. By inputting grades and credit hours for completed or anticipated coursework, the calculator produces an estimated cumulative GPA, a key metric used for academic standing and progress evaluation.
The availability of this estimation tool offers several advantages. Students can proactively monitor their academic performance and identify areas needing improvement. It facilitates informed decision-making regarding course selection and academic planning. Furthermore, it provides a convenient way to project potential GPA outcomes based on hypothetical grade scenarios. Historically, students relied on manual calculations or sought assistance from academic advisors to determine their GPA; this tool streamlines the process, increasing efficiency and accuracy.
