How do I calculate my GPA?

Students can calculate their Grade Point Average (GPA) if they know the following information:

Credits attempted - These are the total number of credits taken at Walden.

Final Grades Earned - Using your unofficial transcript, you can see the grades you earned in all your classes in your program

Point values for those grades - Each grade is assigned a point value. Use the chart below to determine the point values for your grades.

Letter Grade Point Value for Grade
A 4.0
B 3.0
C 2.0
D (Only applicable for Undergraduate Programs) 1.0
F 0.0

The basic formula for calculating GPA is to divide the total points earned in a program by the total number of credits attempted. The resulting figure is the GPA for that program.

Total points earned / Total Credits Attempted = Grade Point Average
