International Baccalaureate Standard-Level Exams
How standard-level International Baccalaureate exams transfer
If you are interested in receiving credit for International Baccalaureate exams, you should have an official score report sent to at °µÍøTV. If you completed an exam for a subject not listed below, alert and they will ensure that the subject is reviewed for transfer.
The chart below indicates how International Baccalaureate Standard-Level Exam scores presented on an official score report are accepted at °µÍøTV. (See °µÍøTV's credit granting policies for International Baccalaureate Higher-Level Exam scores here.) The numbers in parentheses indicate the score(s) required in order to receive credit. (LD) means lower-division credit, the level of courses primarily completed during the first two years of college.
All Standard-Level exams with a score of 4 or higher will receive 5 lower-division elective credits. No score below 4 will result in credit. Keep in mind that beyond General Education and major requirements you may need quite a few elective credits to complete your degree.
If you believe an exam for which you receive credit from °µÍøTV also may fulfill major requirements, contact the appropriate department for a review.
Note: Combined credit for all test programs and 13th year advanced standing cannot exceed 45 quarter credits.
