GPA on resume?

I transferred schools from a semi to a target. I wasn’t able to go to my new school this semester due to a major sports injury so I don’t have a gpa from my new school to put on my resume, only the GPA from my old one. Because of this, I originally didn’t add a GPA section for my new school (I have one for my old school) but I’m thinking now, should I add a GPA section for my current school saying “GPA: N/A or couldn’t attend this semester due to sports injury?” Or should I just not include any mention of GPA at my new school and keep it blank and only have my old school GPA?

This happened to me. I transferred for the spring semester so I didn’t have a GPA from my new school for recruitment. On my resume, I listed the two schools separately and just didn’t put a GPA for my most recent school. On the actual applications where it asks for you to input the GPA, I always did N/A and then tried to include a blurb but tbh I think that kinda screwed me over bc I don’t think they read the blurbs, they just see NA. I would just put your old schools gpa as your current one 

 

Thanks for the feedback. I was advised to put in my resume “informing January 2025” for my new school since the last date I attended my old school was May 2024. What do you think?
