International Baccalaureate Policy
The 猎奇重口 recognizes IB achievement and awards credit for each Higher Level exam passed with an examination score of four or higher. The University grants credit for Standard Level exams for some IB languages or if they are taken as a component of the full Diploma.
The 猎奇重口 may offer a maximum of 30 credits (sophomore equivalent standing) to all incoming students who have received a Diploma with a score of 30 or better, with no individual exam scores lower than four. These credits may be distributed as electives or as UM equivalent courses.
All incoming students who have completed the IB Diploma will be given priority consideration for admission to the
General Education and course equivalency credit is granted for the exams listed below as indicated. These credits cannot be used toward upper-division coursework. Enrollment Services-Admissions will provide students with an evaluation of their credits upon receipt of official scores.
If you do not see a specific IB exam on our list and would like it evaluated for credit, please email Admissions with the following information: exam title and level.
