Kent State University students utilize a tool designed to compute their Grade Point Average (GPA). This digital resource allows individuals to input their course grades and credit hours to determine their current GPA, or to project their GPA based on anticipated future grades. For example, a student might input their grades from the Fall semester, along with the associated credit hours for each course, to calculate their GPA for that semester.
The availability of such a tool is important for academic planning and progress monitoring. It allows students to understand the impact of individual course grades on their overall academic standing. Furthermore, it can assist in identifying areas where academic improvement is needed, and in setting realistic goals for future academic performance. Historically, GPA calculations were performed manually; however, the digital version streamlines the process and minimizes the risk of calculation errors.
