<h2>GPA configuration overview</h2> | |
<p>This documentation provides comprehensive information about CollegeVine's GPA calculation configurations for university admissions staff. Each GPA configuration represents a different methodology for calculating student academic performance based on transcripts.</p> | |
<h3>How GPA calculation works</h3> | |
<p>Every GPA calculation follows a consistent 4-step process that can be customized for different institutional needs:</p> | |
<ol> | |
<li><strong>Select courses</strong> - The <em>course selector</em> determines which courses from a student's transcript are included in the GPA calculation (e.g., all courses, academic courses only, or academic plus AP/IB courses)</li> | |
<li><strong>Pick calculator</strong> - Choose between different GPA scales: | |
<ul> | |
<li><strong>4-point scale:</strong> Traditional 0-4.0 GPAs</li> | |
<li><strong>Percentage scale:</strong> 0-100 percentage-based GPA system</li> | |
<li><strong>Specialized calculators:</strong> Custom systems like <em>Grassfield</em> (percentage with credit bonuses) or <em>Peachleaf</em> (unweighted course averaging)</li> | |
</ul> | |
</li> | |
<li><strong>Configure calculator</strong> - Apply specific mapping configurations: | |
<ul> | |
<li><strong>Letter grade mapping:</strong> Convert letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) to numerical values</li> | |
<li><strong>Percentage grade floor mapping:</strong> Convert percentage grades to scale points using floor thresholds</li> | |
<li><strong>Difficulty modifiers:</strong> Add bonus points for advanced courses (AP, IB, Honors, etc.)</li> | |
</ul> | |
</li> | |
<li><strong>Calculate GPA</strong> - Process all selected courses according to the calculator's methodology (hover over calculator names in each configuration to see detailed calculation steps)</li> | |
</ol> | |
<h3>Key features</h3> | |
<ul> | |
<li><strong>Course selection:</strong> Different methods for choosing which courses count toward GPA</li> | |
<li><strong>Grade conversion:</strong> Standardized mapping from letter grades to numerical values</li> | |
<li><strong>Difficulty weighting:</strong> Bonus points for advanced courses (AP, IB, Honors)</li> | |
<li><strong>Credit weighting:</strong> Courses weighted by credit hours for accurate averages</li> | |
</ul> | |
