International Baccalaureate (IB) Credits
Solano Community College may award college credit for international baccalaureate (IB) course completion with scores of
5, 6, or 7, if the course work is compatible with the college’s curriculum. No credit will be granted for lower level course
work completed in the IB program. Students who have earned credit from an IB exam should not take a comparable
college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both.
