A tool designed for students of the University of Vermont (UVM) assists in calculating grade point averages. This calculation typically involves multiplying the credit hours of each course by the corresponding grade points assigned to the letter grade received (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0), summing these products, and dividing by the total number of credit hours attempted. An example usage would be a student inputting their grades and credit hours for each course taken at UVM to determine their cumulative GPA.
Accurate and readily available GPA calculation provides essential academic feedback for UVM students. This knowledge allows students to monitor their academic progress, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions about course selection and future academic pursuits. Historically, GPA calculations were performed manually, but the advent of online tools streamlines this process, offering convenience and accuracy. These tools become particularly valuable during periods of academic planning, such as preparing for graduate school applications or evaluating eligibility for scholarships and academic honors.
