While FPU accepts International Baccalaureate (IB)scores, not all of the credits will be automatically posted to your record. Upon receipt and review of your IB scores:
- Exams for courses outside of your major 鈥� General and Liberal Education (GLE), Minor, Certificate, Free Elective 鈥� for which you have earned the minimum score for credit will be automatically posted to your record.
- Exams for courses that fulfill a major requirement will need a written request before they are posted to your record. If you would like these IB credits posted, please discuss the pros and cons with your major advisor. If you and your major advisor agree that these IB credits would be beneficial to you at FPU, please write to the registrar鈥檚 office and specify which IB credits you would like applied to your major.
- If one chooses to have IB credits posted, it is recommended that the written request be submitted as soon as possible (but before the end of the add/drop period) so that the student has time to adjust his/her schedule if needed.
Please note that acceptance of IB credits on your record could have a negative impact on graduate school admission. Once applied they will count toward a program requirement (GLE, major, minor, certificate and/or free elective) and will be included in your total number of credits required for graduation.
If it is determined at a later date that the credits will have a negative impact on graduate school admission, the student and major advisor must write to the registrar鈥檚 office and request that the credits earned by the exam(s) be zeroed out on the record. This request must include which IB credit(s) will be zeroed out and the reason why the credits are being removed.
Once the credits have been removed, they cannot be re-added.
