The IB Diploma Program is excellent preparation for college. Along with the preparation, students want to know how colleges view the IB Program, what policies individual universities have towards IB courses in terms of course credit and/or advanced standing, what colleges have special programs for IB Diploma Candidates, university acceptance rates for IB candidates, and how IB exam scores are sent to the colleges. On this page are links and instructions to all these questions.

1. Look up the IB Policies of colleges and universities to which you are interested.
2. For information on colleges and universities that have special programs for IB Diploma Candidates contact Barry Phipps in the AISL Career Center.
3. IB exam scores are sent to colleges electronically by IB. When a diploma or certificate candidate gets the IB Exam Packet in April, a “transcripts request” for is included and should be filled out by the student and returned to the IB coordinator. IF the candidate hasn?t filled out the form by the end of school, after JULY 1 they need to send an email to transcripts.row@ibo.org (include full name, DOB, month and year of exam session, IB Candidate #, and the full name of the college to which the transcripts should be sent) requesting a transcript be sent. There is no cost for the first set of transcripts for the year immediately following the exam session, but for additional transcripts or ones from previous years IB charges a fee.
