After all, the final exam is related to your credits and grade points, and your credits and grade points affect your graduation, but you can't be careless at all.
What? Are credits and grades so important? But...but, I don’t know how to add credits and grade points? Don’t worry, let’s first take a look at what credits are and what grade points are!
About credits
Credit is a unit of measurement used to calculate the amount of student learning. It is calculated on a semester basis. The specific number of credits for each course and practical link is based on the professional teaching plan. The regulations shall prevail. Some schools also have a credit-based fee system.
Every course in the university has a certain number of credits. Only by passing the exam in this course can you obtain the corresponding credits. You can graduate only after accumulating credits to meet the professional requirements. If you complete the required courses and credits in advance, you can graduate early.
The credit system is a more flexible academic system that creates more flexibility for students during their time in school, including applying for a leave of absence within a period of time, starting a business, encouraging students who have room for study to graduate early, and Minor, pursuing other majors and degrees.
About grade points
Grade points, as an internationally accepted student learning performance evaluation system, are one of the important indicators for comprehensively evaluating students’ learning quality.
For college students, grade points will affect scholarships, changing majors or pursuing a second major, postgraduate study, studying abroad, and application for exchange programs.
Generally speaking, the five-point system and the hundred-point system can be converted according to the following relationship: course grade points = (course grade-50)/10 (grade points below 60 points are recorded as 0). The credits of a course multiplied by the grade point of the course are the grade points of the course.
Under normal circumstances, grade points will be displayed directly when we check scores. As an internationally accepted student learning performance evaluation system, it is one of the important indicators for comprehensively evaluating students' learning quality.
Each school will stipulate the credits that students must obtain. If your credits do not meet the standards by your senior year, you will not be able to graduate. Many schools will also require students to obtain a certain number of extracurricular credits. If they are not enough, they will not be able to graduate.
Whether you choose to go to graduate school or find a job after graduating from college, high GPA will be your plus point. Needless to say, when studying for graduate school, every tutor wants people who have strong learning ability and good study habits. High GPA is the best proof of your learning ability.
For the employment party, performance points are also very important. Because grade points will affect your professional ranking and scholarships, and these two points are more important to HR.
It seems that there is only one way to improve your grades: get high scores!
We have compiled a few good ways to add credits, take a look!
1. Elective courses University elective courses have always been a pain in everyone’s mind! The system crashed as soon as I chose courses. When the system was repaired, the courses I wanted to choose were gone! If you think about it, you won't be able to choose it, and if you choose it, you won't want to learn.
But, in order to get credits, you still have to attend classes and take exams obediently!
2. Double major as a minor. If your grades are good enough, you can take a double major in your sophomore year! A double degree means double credits! It means you have one more option to find a job after graduation!
3. Publishing papers and scientific research results is a must-have method for adding credits to top academics (it seems that top academics don’t need to worry about credits)! While you are in school, publishing papers in core journals at home and abroad will not only gain you extra credits, get scholarships, and guarantee you a postgraduate degree, but it will also be a bonus in postgraduate entrance interviews!
4. You read that right, being a class committee member can get extra credits! You can also get extra points when evaluating scholarships! In addition, during the winter and summer vacations, many schools will also organize social practice activities such as "three trips to the countryside", work-study, serving as student cadres, and participation in clubs, all of which can be used to add credits!
5. Participate in volunteer activities such as the "College Student Volunteer Service West Plan", supporting education and helping the disabled, caring for the elderly and helping the elderly, community services, public welfare and environmental protection, etc. These volunteer activities can also add credits!

7. Donate blood. Many schools have blood donation organizations. If you are over 18 years old, you can get 1 extra credit if you donate 400ml of blood! Donating blood is a good thing, so be sure to choose a formal organization to donate blood~
8. Many university exams can add extracurricular credits! The certificates you can take during college include: computer proficiency certificate, Mandarin certificate, College English Certificate 4 or 6, teacher qualification certificate, BEC certificate, driver's license...
