This tool is designed to compute a grade point average specifically using the grading system implemented by a higher education institution located in Corvallis, Oregon. For example, a student who has taken several courses at this institution can input their grades and credit hours for each course to determine their cumulative academic standing.
Its utility lies in its ability to provide students with an accurate and easily accessible means of monitoring academic progress. Historically, students relied on manual calculations or administrative offices to ascertain their GPA, which could be time-consuming and less readily available. The advent of online versions significantly streamlines this process.
