International Baccalaureate (IB) credits may be used to fulfill distribution requirements as outlined above. A maximum of two pre-college testing credits may count toward the 36 credits required for graduation. Furthermore, IB credits count as non-standard grading courses, a total of only five of which may count towards the credits required for graduation. The category of “non-standard grading” includes courses elected under the alternate grade mode option; AP, IB, A-Level, and other pre-college testing credits; and credit-bearing internships.
Only IB higher level subject (HL) scores of 6 or 7 are considered for students who complete the full IB diploma. Standard level subjects and HL subjects not listed above will not be accepted.
Students who complete the full diploma with at least one qualifying HL score of 6 or 7 and total points of 36 or more are awarded 2 units of credit. Students who complete the full diploma with less than 36 total points, but with an HL score of 6 or 7 may earn 1 unit of credit per qualifying HL subject score.
Official IB transcripts and/or diplomas must be reported to Middlebury College no later than the end of the student’s second semester. To inquire about credit for other major European examination certificates, please contact the Office of the Registrar.
