The tool allows prospective and current students to estimate their Grade Point Average (GPA) based on anticipated or earned grades in courses at a specific higher education institution. For instance, a student can input their expected grades (e.g., A in Calculus, B+ in English) along with the corresponding credit hours for each course, and the calculator will compute an estimated GPA for that semester or cumulatively.
This computation holds significant value for academic planning, goal setting, and monitoring academic progress toward graduation requirements or specific program benchmarks. Historically, such calculations were performed manually, which could be time-consuming and prone to error. The advent of automated GPA calculators offers a more efficient and accurate way for students to understand their academic standing.
