Understanding IB transfer credit policies for Delta College

Does anyone have insights on how Delta College processes IB transfer credits? Are there particular courses that are more likely to be accepted?

Delta College, like many institutions, does have a policy in place for accepting International Baccalaureate (IB) credits. They generally accept higher level (HL) IB courses with a score of 4 or above for equivalent college credit, but this can vary by individual course.

Delta College likely has a course equivalency table that details exactly how each IB course transfers. This document or web page should show how they equate your IB scores to college credit in specific courses. I'd recommend reaching out to their registrar’s office or admissions department to get more specific info or see if such a table is publicly available.

Keep in mind that even if credits are accepted, they may not necessarily count toward your major or general education requirements; they could be treated as elective credits. If you already have a particular major in mind, you may want to talk to an adviser in that department to understand how IB credits could apply to your major requirements.

Remember also that each college's IB credit policy is unique to that institution. So, credits accepted by Delta College might not be accepted by another university if you end up transferring. If you’re thinking about transferring in the future, you may want to look at potential schools’ policies as well.
