Every course in the university has certain credits. Only by passing the exam of this course can you get the corresponding credits. You can't graduate until the credits have accumulated to the professional requirements. If you complete the required courses and credits ahead of time, you can also graduate ahead of time.
The credit system is a more flexible and flexible academic system, which creates more flexibility for students during their stay in school, including applying for suspension from school and starting a business within a period of time, and encouraging students with spare capacity to graduate ahead of schedule, minor in other majors and pursue other degrees.
Calculation details of GPA:
The overall GPA is the scores of all learning subjects calculated by the above method, and the GPA of the last two years is the scores of all learning subjects calculated by the above method. In the United States, the GPA of 90% schools is calculated by a four-point system.
Only 10% schools will adopt a five-point system, that is, 5 points for A, 4 points for B, 3 points for C, 2 points for D and F 1 point, so the minimum admission standards for these schools will be raised accordingly. When applying, China students should provide their grades according to the GPA system adopted by the original school, and indicate which GPA system is adopted.
The scores of most schools in China are quite strict, which is very unfavorable to students in China. Many students with excellent actual grades are not 3.0 after converting their grades into GPA. In some universities, the total average score of the top five students in the class may be below 82, so when applying for American universities, the GPA will be below 3.0, and you can only enter some third-and fourth-rate schools.
