International Baccalaureate (IB)
Catawba College recognizes International Baccalaureate (IB) higher level work and may grant credit for examination scores of 4, 5, 6, or 7 on higher level courses only. No credit is given for standard level examinations. No credit will be given for English Composition. Students who wish to receive college credit for their IB higher level scores must submit an official score report to the Registrar’s Office. Credit awarded for IB work will have a grade of “S” recorded for the appropriate course on the student’s permanent record. The course will be shown on the transcript as credit awarded but will not be used in calculating the grade point average (GPA).
