Step 1: Embrace the eConnect
Dallas College doesn't send carrier pigeons with your grades (though that would be pretty cool). Instead, you'll be venturing into the wondrous world of eConnect, the online portal that holds the secrets to your academic life. Think of it as your own personal Hogwarts sorting hat, but instead of a pointy hat, you get a number (hopefully a good one!).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Pro Tip: Make sure you have your trusty Dallas College ID and password handy. You wouldn't want to be locked out like you forgot the password to your childhood Neopets account (because let's be honest, who remembers those things?).

Step 2: The Great GPA Hunt
Now that you're in eConnect, it's time to channel your inner Indiana Jones and find that GPA. Here are a couple of paths you can take:
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
-
The "My Advising Report" Method: This option is perfect for those who like a comprehensive overview. Look for the "Current Credit Student Menu" and then delve into the mystical "My Advising Report (GPA)". There, nestled amongst other academic goodies, you'll find your glorious GPA staring back at you.
-
The "Go Straight for the Grades" Method: For the more impatient adventurers, there's a shortcut. Look for the "Grades" section (because, duh, that's where the grades are). Just a heads up, you might need to do some fancy clicking depending on when you took the class, but those grades will be revealed eventually.
Remember: There are actually two GPAs at Dallas College: GPA(1) and GPA(2). Don't get overwhelmed, though. They're basically cousins – very similar but with slight differences. You can find more info about them in the college catalog (if you're feeling extra curious).
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
Step It Up a Notch: GPA Calculation Capers
Feeling like a math whiz? You can actually calculate your own GPA if you're itching to know before eConnect spills the beans. Here's the lowdown:
- Gather your intel: You'll need the number of credit hours for each class and the letter grades you received (remember, A is your best friend, F is your worst enemy).
- Become a grade point guru: Each letter grade has a corresponding point value (A = 4, B = 3, and so on). You can find a handy chart online or consult the Dallas College catalog (because knowledge is power!).
- Multiply and conquer: Multiply the number of credit hours by the grade points for each class. Add up all those points – that's your total grade points.
- The grand finale: Divide your total grade points by the total number of credit hours you attempted. And voila! You've just unlocked the magic of GPA calculation (cue celebratory high fives).
Disclaimer: While calculating your GPA can be empowering, it's always best to double-check with the official eConnect version. You wouldn't want to celebrate a straight A report only to find out you accidentally used the point value for a pie instead (because, let's face it, pie is awesome, but not exactly an academic achievement).
So there you have it, Dallas College adventurers! With these tips and a dash of humor, you'll be navigating the GPA landscape like a pro. Now, go forth and conquer your studies (and maybe reward yourself with a slice of pie – for real this time).
