International Baccalaureate Exams
Citrus College Credit for International Baccalaureate Exams
The student must be currently enrolled to receive credit for International Baccalaureate Tests.
The District will grant three to four (3-6) units of area or elective credit for an examination score of five, six or seven (5, 6 or 7), in the subjects of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level (HL) exams. Subject credit rather than elective credit may be granted upon recommendation of the department.
Students must have the International Baccalaureate Organization (www.ibo.org) send IB exam results to the Admissions and Records Office (un-opened hand carried copies will be accepted) for Cal-GETC certification.
