This tool is designed to compute the Grade Point Average based on the grading system and credit hours applicable at a specific academic institution. It allows students to input their grades and corresponding credit values for each course taken, generating an estimated cumulative GPA. For instance, a student who earns an ‘A’ in a 3-credit course and a ‘B’ in a 4-credit course can utilize it to project their semester or overall academic standing.
The capacity to project academic performance is beneficial for several reasons. It provides students with a mechanism to monitor progress toward academic goals, identify areas where improvement is needed, and assess the potential impact of future course selections on their overall academic record. Historically, such calculations were performed manually, often leading to errors and requiring significant time investment. The advent of automated tools streamlined this process, offering students a convenient and accurate method for academic planning.
