2017-2018 Undergraduate Catalog

Other International Examinations

Students who wish to receive credit for international school leaving examinations other than the International Baccalaureate should have copies of their results 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 for courses that will repeat his or her 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

Other international/foreign examinations presented are evaluated for credit by the University Registrar, in consultation with appropriate departments and appropriate international evaluation credential agencies, such as the World Education Services, Inc., located in New York City.
