Other International Examinations

Students who wish to receive credit for international school leaving examinations other than the International Baccalaureate must provide an evaluation by an international evaluation credential service (such as the World Education Services).  The evaluation should be sent to the Office of International Admissions who, in consultation with the Registrar and respective academic departments, will determine the amount of credit to be given and the distribution of such credit. A student who has been granted credit in a particular area may not enroll into courses that will repeat their work in the subject.

For the most commonly presented international/foreign examinations, the guideline of acceptance of college credit is:

  • French Baccalaureate—scores of 12–20
  • German Abitur—scores of 7–15 (“befriedigend” or better)
  • Swiss Matura—scores of 5 or 6
  • United Kingdom “A” Level General Certificate Examinations—grade of A, B, or C
