A tool designed to determine a student’s cumulative grade point average across two academic periods aggregates the grade points earned in each course with the corresponding credit hours. The result is then divided by the total number of credit hours taken over those two semesters to generate the GPA. For instance, if a student earns a 4.0 in 15 credit hours during one semester and a 3.5 in 16 credit hours the following semester, the tool calculates the combined GPA.
Such calculations are important for academic standing, scholarship eligibility, and program admittance. Historically, manual GPA calculation was time-consuming and prone to error. The advent of automated calculators has streamlined the process, providing students with a more accurate and efficient way to monitor their academic progress and assess their eligibility for various opportunities based on their performance over these specified academic periods.
