IB (International Baccalaureate)
The International Baccalaureate Diploma is an international program of courses and
exams offered at the high school level. In keeping with Senate Bill 111 passed in
2005, Collin will grant credit for students who have received an IB Diploma or Certificate,
with IB exams scores of a 4 or higher.
Collin will award up to 75% of your degree (approximately 45 hours) of course-specific
college credit in subject appropriate areas on all IB exams with scores of 4 or above.
Students must have an official IB transcript sent to Collin College.
Credit earned by examination may not be earned in any course for which the student
has previously received a grade, either at this institution or elsewhere. (Grades
of 'F' and 'W' are included)

A student must have successfully completed 3 semester hours of credit (developmental
courses not included) at Collin College within the past 5 years to have non-traditional
credit applied to their record.
Students requiring more information on the above program should contact the Testing
Office by email at creditbyexam@collin.edu.
