GPA Calculator

GPA Calculator

  • Configuration:
     Ensure your GPA policy is configured, as the calculator references it for GPA label overrides, rounding, decimal point precision, and excluded course smart lists.
  • Security:
     Ensure you have the permissions to modify domain security policies and dashboards.
You can set up the GPA Calculator to enable students, advisors, and administrators to simulate how projected grades for currently registered courses will impact a student's cumulative grade point averages. The calculator factors in your institution's specific grading configuration, including course repeat policies and grade point average rules, and automatically populates a student’s active registrations.
The calculator displays the
Public Grade Display
 value configured in the
Create Student Grading Scheme
 task.
Grades that will display:
  • Only grades with
    Available for Self-Service

    Enrollment Access and Grading Policy
    .
Grades with these grade category types that won’t display:
  • Academic Period Withdraw
  • Course Section Withdraw
