Semester/session grade-point average and cumulative grade-point average are calculated to represent numerically a student's quality of performance. These averages are used to determine if a student qualifies for certain academic actions (e.g., Dean's List, academic warning/drop, entrance to and changes in college/major, and graduation) and programs (e.g., student aid and study abroad). Grades and Grade-Point Equivalents. Semester/Session Grade-Point Average.
Another example of an amphiarthrosis is the pubic symphysis of the pelvis. This is a cartilaginous joint in which the pubic regions of the right and left hip bones are strongly anchored to each other by fibrocartilage. This joint normally has very little mobility.
A slightly movable joint (amphiarthrosis) is an articulation between bones in which the motion is limited due to either fibrous tissue or cartilage. Joints are classified as either fibrous or cartilaginous. Only one type of fibrous joint is slightly movable. It is known as a syndesmosis. In a syndesmosis, bones are separated by a substantial space and united by fibrous connective tissue. In another classification of joints, cartilaginous also has only one type that is considered slightly movable.
