An automated tool designed to compute grade point averages, specifically tailored to the academic grading system and policies of a particular university in Atlanta. This resource allows students to estimate their semester or cumulative academic standing based on grades earned in completed courses. The calculation reflects the specific grade weighting and credit hour values assigned by the institution. For example, a student could input their course grades and credit hours for a semester to determine their term GPA, or input their historical academic record to determine their cumulative GPA.
Such a resource provides significant value to students, offering a clear understanding of their academic performance. It allows for proactive academic planning, enabling students to identify areas for improvement and set realistic academic goals. Furthermore, it can assist in determining eligibility for scholarships, honors programs, or specific academic opportunities governed by GPA thresholds. Historically, students performed these calculations manually, a process prone to error and time-consuming. The advent of online tools has streamlined this process, providing accurate and immediate results.
