Defining the External GPAs
If the outside GPA type has a name that is not descriptive or self-evident, you can use the GPA values portion of this page to more clearly define the external GPAs that belong to this GPA type. You do not need to fill in External GPA and Description fields if it is clear from the GPA type name exactly what it means.

You can enter any numeric value in these fields. If you defined GPA values (on the GPA Type Table page) for this GPA type, you can prompt for those values, but you can also enter values that are not defined. You can add as many converted GPAs as required for a GPA type. |
