grade point
Transcript numerical value
A grade point is the numerical value assigned to a letter grade in an academic grading system.
An A might equal 4 grade points, a B equals 3, and so on.
These values are averaged across courses to calculate a student's grade point average (GPA): She needs to raise her grade points to keep her scholarship.
