How to calculate GPAs using Attempted credits when credits are awarded in Final marking column

GPAs sometimes need to be calculated midyear. You may have a case where credits are awarded and attempted in the Final marking column, and no credits are attempted or awarded for marking columns during the rest of the year. If your GPA calculation is set up to use attempted credits, then the grading information for the course record(s) can be adjusted so that current grades will be factored in prior to having a final grade.
