International Baccalaureate Course Equivalency

Students may be granted college credit for the IB courses taken at the High Level only.

IB credit awards are similar to transfer credit in that they are not calculated into the student's cumulative grade point average.

Please note that the chart represents a general outline of IB credit. In all cases, credit is available only for the courses completed at the High Level with grades of 5 or higher.
