What do you mean by college GPA?
Grade points in universities are a way to evaluate academic performance.

Specific analysis:

Grade Point Average is the abbreviation of grade point average, which is an internationally accepted evaluation system for students' academic performance, and it is also one of the important indicators to comprehensively evaluate students' curriculum level during their whole university study. Average grade point is an important index to measure students' learning quality.

It can be used as an important basis for freshmen to change majors, apply for graduate students (most schools are grading points when applying for graduate students), evaluate student scholarships and evaluate the work of outstanding graduates. The grade of college grades is a method to evaluate academic performance, and it also reflects the quality of course learning and fully reflects students' mastery of course knowledge.

In order to accurately evaluate students' learning situation, the Academic Affairs Office also stipulates that all courses are roughly normally distributed. At the same time, when GPA is used in most college graduate walk-in exams, it is generally required that the average GPA should reach 2.8 or above to participate in graduate walk-in. Material supplement:

The calculation method of GPA is to convert the scores obtained by each subject into GPA, and then weight the figures according to the proportion of credits occupied by each subject. The specific algorithm varies from country to country and from school to school. The grade point system is one of the important supporting measures to implement the credit system-the general calculation method in most universities in China is: grade point = score/10-5.

Credit grade point = credit * credit grade point = credit * (score/10-5) (if the score is above 90, it will be calculated as 90). Some schools adopt different calculation methods, and adopt the grading method of grade points, emphasizing the classification of grade points according to scores, as follows: 4-3* 100-2/ 1600. Average GPA: (course credits 1 * GPA+ course credits 2 * GPA+ course credits n* GPA)/ (course credits 1+ course credits 2+ course credits n).

Grade point system

The grade point system is one of the important supporting measures to implement the credit system. Since 1985 China began to advocate the implementation of the credit system, people have discussed and studied the credit system more, lacking the discussion of the grade point system, thus affecting the smooth implementation of the credit system. This paper analyzes and studies many problems existing in the process of adopting the grade point system in domestic universities, and puts forward corresponding countermeasures on the basis of comparing with the grade point system implemented in American universities.
