The International Baccalaureate Guidelines For Granting Credit 2009–2010
To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (I.B.) examinations, an official transcript of examination grades must be officially sent by the I.B. Office (New York, Geneva, or London) directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions generally awards credit for I.B. Higher Level examinations passed with scores of 5 or above. The University does not give credit for standard/subsidiary level examinations.
