GPA system
A GPA system that values "learning"
We have introduced a grading system called "GPA" (Grade Point Average). GPA quantifies grades and objectively assesses learning outcomes. Focus not only on the "quantity" of earned credits but also on the "quality" of learning. This demonstrates the J. F. Oberlin University 's commitment to valuing "learning," such as setting a minimum GPA as graduation requirements and denying graduation even if the required number of credits is earned. Advisors use this GPA to guide students' academic pursuits, and it is also adopted as a learning benchmark when studying abroad at universities or graduate schools abroad. Additionally, students with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher by graduation are recognized as top achievers.
Calculation method
Grades are given on a five-point scale from A to D, with F being a failing grade. Grade points are awarded as follows: 4.00, 3.00, 2.00, and 1.00 respectively, starting from A. Your GPA is calculated by multiplying the number of credits earned for courses by the grade points corresponding to your grade, and then dividing the sum by the total number of credits you registered for.
