INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB).
The University awards academic credit based upon individual IB courses. Credit is awarded at the time of matriculation and is based on the scores earned on the IB examinations. All credit awarded will be recorded on the student's permanent record and will be included in the credit total toward degree requirements. The total amount of IB credit will not exceed 30 credits. Credit will be awarded for 100-and 200-level coursework (upper level credit can be awarded in some language areas). No credit will be awarded for IB examinations taken on the Standard Level (see TRANSFER CREDITS.). Questions regarding IB credit equivalencies should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
No UMW credit will be awarded for any transfer work for which UMW has not received official transcripts by the following deadlines:
- For fall semester new students, official transcripts for pre-matriculation transfer credit MUST be received by November 15 of the first semester of UMW enrollment.
- For spring semester new students, official transcripts for pre-matriculation transfer credit MUST be received by April 15 of the first semester of UMW enrollment.
NOTES:
- IB credits will be forfeited and removed from the record if the equivalent course or courses are completed at UMW or another institution (and transferred into UMW for credit).
- IB credits are counted as completed credits toward graduation, and thus affect all decisions regarding probation, suspension and dismissal.
- A student may request the permanent deletion of credits from his or her record at any time except when he or she is on academic suspension or after academic dismissal.
