Grade Point Average assessment tools specific to Wake Technical Community College facilitate the computation of a student’s cumulative GPA based on completed coursework at that institution. These tools typically require input of course grades and credit hours, subsequently applying Wake Tech’s grading scale to determine the GPA. An illustrative scenario involves a student entering grades of ‘A’ in a 3-credit course, ‘B’ in a 4-credit course, and ‘C’ in a 3-credit course. The tool then calculates the GPA based on the point values assigned to each letter grade at Wake Tech.
Such calculation instruments are valuable resources for students tracking academic performance. They provide a clear understanding of academic standing, which is critical for monitoring progress toward graduation requirements, eligibility for financial aid, and transfer opportunities to four-year institutions. Prior to the widespread availability of these digital tools, students often relied on manual calculations or academic advisor assistance. The emergence of automated systems has streamlined this process, improving accuracy and accessibility for students at Wake Tech.
