A tool exists to compute the Grade Point Average (GPA) for students at the University of Cincinnati. This utility allows students to input their course grades and credit hours to determine their current, semester, or cumulative GPA. As an example, a student might input grades and credit hours from their fall semester to ascertain their GPA for that specific term.
Calculating the GPA is crucial for students as it impacts academic standing, eligibility for scholarships and honors, and progress towards graduation. Historically, GPA calculations were performed manually, which was time-consuming and prone to error. The advent of automated computation has provided students with a more efficient and accurate method for tracking their academic performance.
