Field or Control	Definition
Academic Institution	Each cumulative GPA prompt value is associated with only one academic institution. This field is used for prompting, not for analysis.
Cumulative GPA	Enter the cumulative GPA that is a prompt value for preconditions or conditions of cumulative GPA. Values are `0` through `9,` with a maximum of five positions to the left of the decimal point and three positions to the right of the decimal point (for example, 12345.678).
Description	Enter the cumulative GPA description that will appear when a field is prompted for field values. By default, the system populates the Description column with the cumulative GPA value. However, you can change this value. All alphanumeric characters are valid. Clearly describe the cumulative GPA value. For example, you might want to describe a cumulative GPA of 2.0 as `C average.` In that case, the prompt value appears as `C average.`
