Example: Identify Undergraduates with GPA Greater Than or Equal to 3.0 (Logic Calculation)

Example: Identify Undergraduates with GPA Greater Than or Equal to 3.0 (Logic Calculation)

This example illustrates how to create a calculation that identifies a student population, and that you can reuse in various other contexts, and includes these calculations:
  • Constant Value
  • Instance Set Comparison
  • Logic
  • Value Comparison
At Alma Mater University, undergraduate students with cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) that are greater than or equal to 3.0 are eligible for certain financial aid awards. Many of the awards have additional eligibility requirements, such as program of study or residency requirements.
You need to create a calculation that filters for undergraduates with a GPA greater than or equal to 3.0. You can then use the calculation a base for further calculations to more specifically define eligibility for the different financial aid awards.
