College Admissions

POLICIES

All colleges and universities have unique policies in regards to which transfer credits and exam scores they will accept for credit at their institution. For example, some will accept scores for credit, but only for elective credit.  Others only accept Higher Level courses, not Standard Level. Each university, and sometimes even individual departments within the university, will have different policies.

Because there are so many different policies and they are always changing, it's important to go to the university website for the most up-to-date information. Here is an IB database that has an updated list of institutions and policies, but googling "university name +  international baccalaureate policy" will also find you the answers you need.

PROCESS

1. Take your IB course , including internal and external assessments. Do your best!

2. As you begin to research colleges, note which will accept your IB exam scores (or AP scores or PSEO grades) and how they will be applied. 

3. BEFORE June 30th of your senior year, notify the IB Coordinator where you would like your scores to be sent. 

4. AFTER June 30th of your senior year, request your scores through IB. The cost is $17. Make sure to choose "request for results to higher institutes of education."
