The University of South Alabama utilizes a tool for students to estimate their Grade Point Average (GPA). This resource facilitates academic planning by allowing students to project their semester and cumulative GPA based on anticipated grades. For instance, a student can input their current earned credit hours, current GPA, and the grades they expect to receive in upcoming courses to determine the effect on their overall academic standing.
This estimation resource is important for students because it offers a clear understanding of how academic performance impacts their cumulative GPA, influencing eligibility for scholarships, honors, and various academic programs. Historically, such calculations were performed manually, often leading to errors. The advent of automated tools has provided students with a more efficient and accurate method for monitoring their academic progress.
