Do Training Points Count Towards the GPA? The Latest Regulations 2026

The relationship between training points and GPA: Truth & Misconception

Many students wonder whether training points directly affect GPA or are just a measure of soft competence and study attitude. To understand this better, let’s find out below.

The concept and evaluation purpose of training points (ĐRL)

Training points (ĐRL) are a system that evaluates the level of study awareness, disciplinary attitude and activity-participation level of students, graded on a training-point scale of 100. The main criteria include study awareness, compliance with rules and regulations, spirit of participation in collective activities, community relations and civic awareness.

The purpose of training points is to help the school evaluate and classify training results by each semester, academic year and the whole course. At the same time, considering scholarships, rewards – discipline, considering dropout, study suspension, dormitory-residence consideration and related rights. In addition, training points are used as a basis when considering graduation exams, doing theses/dissertations, and are recorded in the student’s transcript and graduation records.

Do training points count directly towards GPA or not?

Training points do not count towards GPA. Only attendance/attitude points (usually accounting for 5 – 10% of the weight) are counted towards the course-unit score, not ĐRL counting towards GPA.

The real impact of training points on students

Training points do not directly affect GPA, but do have a clear impact on each student’s opportunities and rights. Thanks to this evaluation system, students easily recognise the habits that need training and the criteria that need improving to progress further, specifically:

Affecting scholarship and reward consideration

This is the factor with the biggest impact because most reward-consideration criteria require training points to receive a scholarship of fairly good level or above. The common condition is “GPA of Fairly Good or above and ĐRL of Fairly Good or above”, applied to both academic-encouragement scholarships and enterprise scholarships. Thanks to this, training points become an important basis that helps students maintain form and expand reward opportunities.

Do training points affect the graduation degree?

Training points are not counted directly towards graduation classification, so they only have an indirect impact. If a student is disciplined (warning, suspension) or has ĐRL at Weak/Poor level, the graduation classification may be reduced by one grade or considered for forced dropout. Therefore, maintaining stable training points helps students avoid the risk of affecting their graduation degree.

The training-point regulation at HUFLIT

HUFLIT applies a clear and transparent training-point regulation that helps students easily track training progress and correctly understand the evaluation method. With a diverse activity system, students have the opportunity to accumulate ĐRL and develop more comprehensive skills, specifically:

How are whole-course training points at HUFLIT used?

HUFLIT manages and evaluates training points on a centralised software system to ensure openness and transparency throughout the study process. This score source is mainly used as a basis for scholarship consideration, recorded in the student’s records, prioritising HUFLIT students in exchange programmes or academic-support opportunities.

In addition, whole-course ĐRL is also a basis for considering titles, rewards and some other rights for students with outstanding contributions. Thanks to this, it encourages students to contribute actively and develop more comprehensively.

Handbook for “hunting” good training points at HUFLIT

If you want to achieve higher ĐRL, students can proactively participate in academic, skill or hobby clubs to both accumulate experience and be added training points. In addition, register as a collaborator at departments, centres or participate in supporting school events to have your contribution officially recognised.

Students should proactively participate in Union – Association activities, volunteer campaigns and movement programmes to increase points in many criteria at once. In addition, maintain a good study manner, attend classes fully and comply with the rules to avoid unnecessary point deductions. At the same time, participate in seminars, talks, workshops or competitions organised by HUFLIT to both expand knowledge and be added positive points.

Quick Q&A about training points

If you still wonder about how to use training points, the quick Q&A section below will help you grasp it better:

How many training points is Pass, Fairly Good, Good?

Based on Article 9, Chapter III of the Regulation on evaluating training results of full-time students at HUFLIT, the ĐRL classification scale is divided by each specific score level as follows.

Is it a problem if training points are weak?

Weak training points can affect students, especially if classified as weak or poor in two consecutive semesters or continuously for the whole academic year. Students may be suspended from study or forced to drop out depending on each school’s regulations. In addition, low training points also affect other rights such as scholarship and reward consideration, and can lower the graduation degree rank if there are good study achievements but a violation of the regulations.

Are training results the same as conduct?

Training results are not completely the same as conduct. Conduct is usually used at the general-education level, while training points at the university level reflect the level of activity participation, community spirit and study awareness in more detail on a specific scale.

Above is the information and answer to whether training points count towards GPA, as well as how to correctly understand the role of ĐRL.
