Student academic achievement is determined by the current Grade Point Average (current GPA; Nilai rata-rata (NR)), Grade Point Average (GPA; Indeks Prestasi (IP)), and cumulative Grade Point Average (cumulative GPA; Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK)). The current GPA of a student’s academic achievement reached in each semester is calculated by final score for the number of courses. GPA is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted, final grades of each course only will be taken into consideration. Cumulative GPA is the academic achievement of students achieved within a certain time on the basis of calculation of all grades of courses ever taken, including the grade of retaken courses, or be replaced by other courses in subsequent semesters.
