A grade point average (GPA) calculation tool specific to the University of Tennessee’s grading system helps students estimate their cumulative GPA based on earned grades and course credit hours. For example, a student might input their grades (A, B, C, etc.) and credit hours for each course into such a tool to obtain a weighted GPA estimate.
Access to a GPA estimator provides several benefits. Students can project their academic standing, track progress toward graduation requirements, and identify areas for improvement. This proactive approach enables informed decisions regarding course selection and academic planning. Historically, GPA calculation involved manual processes; digital tools now streamline this task, offering immediate feedback and greater accuracy.
