GPA

The GPA system: An objective way for students to look at their academic performance

"GPA" (Grade Point Average) corresponds to the average grade a student has earned to date per course credit. As a standard for measuring academic performance, a student's GPA can have an impact on everything from his or her eligibility for financial aid to study abroad screening procedures. By expressing grades in number form, GPA gives students an objective way to look at their academic performance levels and provides faculty members with a valuable resource for advising students more effectively on what courses to take.
