grid

A grid is information grouped according to division and contains data to calculate the GPA using attempted hours, earned hours, GPA hours, and quality points. This calculation is performed during an Academic Record Update.

If the student were taking courses in two divisions, the two grids in this example illustrate the update.

Since the student has no transfer work, the Local and Career totals are identical. Also, the undergraduate Earned, Attempted, and GPA hours are all different. Perhaps the student failed a two-hour course, which would explain the difference between Attempted and Earned hours. The GPA hours might differ from Attempted hours because the student took several courses with a pass/fail credit type.
