What kind of credit can I earn from
my IB classes?

• The recognition of Standard Level (SL) and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) coursework for possible college-level credit as well as a
• sliding scale (rather than an all-or-nothing) approach where appropriate (as in the case of languages).
• The policies also include recommendations to meet with faculty advisors as needed to determine course placement.*
