What is a GPA?
Letter grades have a numerical value called a Grade Point Value, which is used to calculate your grade point average or GPA. Your GPA is the sum of all your final grades divided by your total number of credits. Specifically,
- Your semester or term GPA (TGPA) is the grade point average for all UFV coursework completed in one semester.
- Your cumulative GPA (CGPA) is the grade point average for all coursework completed at UFV.
To learn more about the letter grading system and grading scale, review UFV's Grading and Academic Standing information.
Why is your GPA important?
Your GPA measures your academic achievement and can determine:
- your admissibility to universities, colleges, programs, and courses
- your eligibility to apply for scholarships and financial aid
