Elective Grade Calculator
Track your academic performance in elective courses and understand their impact on GPA.
The Elective Grade Calculator tracks grades earned in elective courses, helping students monitor their performance in non-major subjects that complement their academic experience.
Understanding the Concept: How Does It Work?
Elective courses are not directly tied to a student’s major but often contribute to graduation credit requirements. The Elective GPA is calculated using:
\[ \text{Elective GPA} = \frac{\text{Total Grade Points for Elective Courses}} {\text{Total Credit Hours for Elective Courses}} \]
- Grade Points: Numerical grade × course credit hours.
- Credit Hours: Total credit hours earned in elective courses.
Example Calculation: Determining Elective GPA
| Course | Grade | Grade Point | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photography | A | 4.0 | 3 |
| Creative Writing | B+ | 3.3 | 4 |
| Philosophy | B | 3.0 | 3 |
\[ (4.0 \times 3) + (3.3 \times 4) + (3.0 \times 3) = 35.2 \]
\[ \text{Elective GPA} = \frac{35.2}{10} = 3.52 \]
Final Elective GPA: 3.52
