What is the GPA Multiplier and why do we have to use it?
The GPA Multiplier must be populated for high schools if all courses do not have the same credit value. All schools should evaluate the credit values assigned to courses. If all courses are of the same credit value, then no further action is required. If all courses do not have the same credit value, for example, some courses are .5 credit and some are 1 credit or 2 credits, then the GPA multiplier is used. To utilize this field, enter a value that, when multiplied with the Credit Value, will convert that value to 1. This will nullify that impact of credit value on the calculation of GPA. This affects the GPA calculation for Current Reporting Period and the 7th Semester Transcript.
