What does TGP mean in UNIVERSITIES

Total Grade Points (TGP) is a measure of a student's overall average grade which includes the amount of units taken multiplied by the grade earned in each course.

To calculate TGP, add up the number of units taken for each class, then multiply that number by the letter grade or percentage you received for each class. Once added together, this will give your total TGP for your academic term/year.

The GPA needed to achieve good grades will vary based on your goals and expectations. However, having a GPA above 3.0 usually means you are meeting satisfactory academic standards while a GPA higher than 3.5 suggests excellence in academics.

Tracking your TGP allows you to understand where you stand academically and what needs improvement in order for you to reach your future goals. Knowing which subjects need more attention or updating courses accordingly can ensure success at any level of education from high school to college level classes. This can also help provide motivation when studying as it keeps track of how much effort has been made so far as well as what still needs improving upon.

While there aren't necessarily official "penalties" associated with low grades or poor performance on tests/assignments resulting in lower grades, it can sometimes be difficult to get accepted into highly selective universities if an applicant has maintained lower than average grades; this could be seen as a penalty against those who have not kept their grades up throughout high school and college years.
