International Baccalaureate
Students who participate in the International Baccalaureate Program may receive college credit for exam scores of 4 or better on most Higher Level (HL) Exams and for a 5 or better on most Standard Level (SL) Exams. The amount of credit awarded will depend upon the exam scores and the level of the courses. In compliance with SB 111, students admitted for the fall 2006 semester and after will be granted a minimum of 24 hurs of credit if they have earned the IB Diploma and have no scores lower than a 4 on the Standard Level and Higher Level Exams. If qualified, credit will be awarded for a score of 4 instead of a 5 on the Standard Level Exams as shown on the following equivalency chart:
