About IB transfer credit
Students who complete the听International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma听will be granted up to 30 transfer credits.听 The actual amount of credit granted is based on the IB Higher Level (HL)听subject selection,听final HL subject results of '5' or better, and on the entering program at 91社区 (see听faculty and program rules). See the faculty/program-specific table below to view the amount of credit you will receive.听听
Students NOT completing the full IB Diploma, but who complete individual IB Higher Level (HL) diploma courses (formerly certificates) may be granted credit for final results of '5' or better,听equal to the equivalent course at 91社区 and dependent on the entering faculty and program rules. Note that most non-math/non-science subjects will grant 6 credits per subject. Mathematics and science equivalencies that are eligible for exemption will be granted the credit value of the 91社区-equivalent course.
To be eligible for advanced standing, you must arrange for your final IB results to be sent directly from the听 to 91社区's听Enrolment Services.
If you receive an exemption for a subject, but decide to take the course at 91社区, you will not receive credit for the 91社区 course and it will not be calculated into your 91社区 GPA.
91社区 reserves the right to change the transfer credit recognition policy without notice.
