International Baccalaureate Diploma and Certificate Credit

If you present an International Baccalaureate Diploma and Certificate, you may qualify for transfer credit, depending on the level of the exam and the grade you received. We grant credit for higher-level courses only.

 

A grade of "5" qualifies you to receive credit for up to two introductory courses; a grade of "4" qualifies you to receive credit for one introductory course.

 

We award credit according to the table that follows. (Please note that we do not award credit for the English-as-a-Second-Language exam.)
