A tool exists to estimate a student’s Grade Point Average based on Fordham University’s grading system and credit weighting. This resource typically requires users to input their letter grades and corresponding credit hours for each course taken. It then calculates the GPA according to Fordham’s specific grading scale.
The availability of such a tool offers prospective and current students a method to project their academic standing. By inputting potential grades, students can assess the impact of their performance on their overall GPA, which aids in academic planning and goal setting. Historically, GPA calculations were performed manually, increasing the potential for error and requiring more time. This automated tool streamlines the process, providing immediate feedback.
