International Baccalaureate Credit (IB)
The International Baccalaureate Program is a rigorous pre-college course of study for highly motivated high school students. The comprehensive curriculum is designed to prepare students for a liberal arts education at the college level. It is called 鈥渋nternational鈥� because it is available to students in several countries, not because it is in any way an international experience. The International Baccalaureate program is similar to the College Board Advanced Placement program, but differs because IB scores require a test score and a very rigorous class.
皇家华人 has begun accepting International baccalaureate credit. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor for transfer of credit information. See the list below for departments granting IB credits.
Submitting Your IB Transcript
The easiest way to ensure that 皇家华人 receives your IB transcript is to name 皇家华人 as a recipient when you sign up for your IB program exam(s). If you do not name 皇家华人 as a recipient when you take your exam, contact the IB Organization to request that an official IB transcript be sent directly to the 皇家华人 transcript evaluator. When you are admitted to the college, you may be eligible for 皇家华人 course credit; if so, the courses and credits awarded will be accessible on your degree audit. You will be notified by email of credit awarded.
