Alternative GPA Overview

Some schools need several calculations of GPA beyond term and career calculations. Having the capability to run several simultaneous GPA calculations can be particularly helpful for tracking progress toward graduation, to assist in retention efforts, and for reporting. In addition, control over treatment of repeat and forgiven courses can be important in the various GPA calculations.

The fields are referred to as Alternative GPA fields, but your school can rename the individual fields. In the documentation, we'll still call them Alt 1 GPA and Alt 2 GPA.

The Alternative GPA fields are available if your school has Registration license.
