This report is published as the result of a range of investigations and debates involving many universities and colleges and a series of meetings, presentations, discussions and consultations. Interest in a grade point average (GPA) system was originally initiated by a group of interested universities, progressing to the systematic investigation reported here. It asks the question: Can a GPA system enhance the reporting of student achievement in the UK? The following are appended: (1) Glossary; (2) The HEA's National GPA Advisory Group; and (3) About the GPA Programme of Work.
