Question

student beginning her senior year has accumulated 90 credits and has a C-minus cumulative grade point average of 1.70. To graduate at the end of the year, she will need a total of 120 credits and an overall grade point average of C or 2.00. She plans to take 15 credits each semester fall and spring.  (Hint: use the UMass Boston GPA calculator.)

  1. Can she raise her cumulative grade point average to a 2.00 after completing 15 fall semester credits? If possible, what semester GPA would she need?

  2. Given her track record, it is more likely she will need to do well in both semesters to achieve her goal for graduation. What is the lowest average GPA she need for her two senior year semesters combined (30 credits) to achieve her goal of a final cumulative grade point average of 2.00 and 120 credits?
