An online tool designed to compute grade point averages specifically for students attending a certain higher education institution in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. It takes into account the grading system and credit weighting unique to that university. For example, a student inputs their letter grades and credit hours for each course taken, and the tool outputs a cumulative GPA reflecting academic performance at that institution.
Such a tool provides students with a means of understanding their academic standing and tracking their progress toward graduation requirements. Its benefits include allowing students to project future GPAs based on anticipated grades in upcoming courses, and assessing eligibility for scholarships, honors programs, or specific academic departments. Historically, students manually calculated their GPAs, a process prone to error and time-consuming. This digital calculator streamlines the process and provides immediate feedback.
