cumulative GPA

Total academic standing

Cumulative GPA is a student's grade point average calculated across all courses taken throughout their academic career, rather than for a single term or semester.

It provides an overall measure of academic performance: Her cumulative GPA of 3.7 made her a strong candidate for graduate school.

The cumulative figure carries more weight than any single semester's grades.
