We just finished a huge Java project and the next task is to port it to Ada but in the meantime our professor has given us this

Specifically, the assignment is write a program which models a student specifically, you need to
create a student class where a student has the following properties:
creation function
name
major
gpa
number of hours
create a test program which creates a student and displays all the properties of the student.

I never knew ada existed until a few weeks ago, can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction?

I just checked ADA on Wiki. It reminds me of Pascal syntax.
Guess Wiki Books is the place where you have to begin with. (the only one good tutorial I found)

if you can't do it otherwise split the number into three parts: whole number part, ".", tenth, hundredth
(have done that myself to create tidy outputs with other programming languages though - you need "tenth" and "hundredth" to accommodate cases where the "tenth" is zero)
