BAC vs. GPA

On Planet College now, student thoughts turn to summer. Jobs, parties, trips and summer school classes. Before we disburse to our various destinations it could be important to go over final grades. Especially if they are not up to the standards you projected back in January. If they are there is no need to read on. You've made your grade goals and life can go on.

If not it could be useful to check your average BAC during the last term. Your BAC is your blood alcohol level. Blood Alcohol Level is simply the percentage of your blood which consists of alcohol. In most jurisdictions, and jurisdictions are where this becomes important, if you have a blood alcohol level of .08% you are considered to be under the influence. This content impairs your ability to function, most notably in operating a motor vehicle.

Alcohol use is a legendary part of Planet College. Some schools are more directly aware of this than others. Some of these schools even have programs directed toward moderating student alcohol use.

But what about you? How is your BAC awareness holding up? Did it exceed your GPA. If so there may be a clue to your over all performance this last term. Check it out.

Simple formula; When your BAC exceeds your GPA your career on Planet College is impaired.

If this has been a factor in your progress or lack of progress think about getting some help. And help can be as simple as talking things over with a friend.
