Examination International Baccalaureate (IB)
General Information
The International Baccalaureate (IB) program provides high school students with an opportunity to earn college credit. IB courses, syllabi and exams can exist for two different levels of accomplishment. The Higher Level (HL) syllabus and exam includes material that requires two years of coursework in the chosen subject area. The Standard/Subsidiary Level (SL) syllabus and exam includes material that requires one year of coursework in the chosen subject area. NOVA students who received the appropriate score on IB exams are eligible to earn college-level credit. Please see the table below that denotes the name of the IB Exam, the required score and the corresponding NOVA course and credits. Please note, the accepted NOVA equivalency and the required score for credit may be different depending on which year the student completed an IB exam and when a student submits a request for credit. Faculty review IB equivalencies and adjust CPL policy accordingly on a regular basis.
