A tool exists to estimate grade point average outcomes based on Wake Forest University’s grading system. This resource allows current and prospective students to project their academic standing based on anticipated or achieved grades in individual courses. For example, a student can input their expected letter grades for each course in a semester, along with the corresponding credit hours, to calculate their projected GPA for that term and cumulatively.
The ability to project academic performance offers several advantages. It enables students to set realistic academic goals, monitor their progress toward those goals, and identify areas where they may need to improve their study habits or seek additional academic support. Furthermore, it allows students to understand the potential impact of individual grades on their overall GPA, which can inform course selection and study prioritization. Historically, such calculations were performed manually, making the process time-consuming and prone to error. Automated tools streamline this process, providing quick and accurate results.
