What is "grade point average"?
Grade point average (GPA) is a numerical measurement of a student's academic performance, calculated by assigning a point value to each grade earned and averaging them over a period of time, such as a semester or year. GPA is often used by schools, colleges, and universities to assess overall achievement. Typically, a scale is used where higher grades, such as an "A," are assigned more points, and lower grades, such as a "C," are given fewer points. The GPA provides a simple way to summarize a student's academic success and is often used in decisions related to admissions or awards.
Example
Her grade point average of 3.8 earned her a spot on the Dean 's List for academic excellence.
The student 's overall grade point average is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted.
Maintaining a high grade point average is important for students applying to competitive graduate programs or scholarships.
