The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will award proficiency credit to new, continuing, and transfer students on the basis of scores from several International Baccalaureate examinations: anthropology, biology, chemistry, classics (Latin and Greek), economics, French, German, history, and philosophy. University departments establish policies for awarding proficiency credit and advanced placement for each score on the IB scale of 1 to 7. Those wishing to have such examination scores evaluated should request that official score transcripts be sent to the Division of Measurement and Evaluation, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 247 Armory Building, c/o 182 Armory Building, 505 East Armory Avenue, Champaign, IL 61820.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign may accept, for transfer purposes, IB credit awarded by another institution if the transfer student meets two requirements: (1) the student must have earned at least 12 semester hours of graded college-level classroom credit at that same institution or campus, and (2) the student must have earned classroom credit for a more advanced course in the same subject area at that same institution. The advanced course must be fully acceptable under University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign transfer credit policies. Transfer students who have not met these requirements may request that official copies of their scores be sent to the Division of Measurement and Evaluation. Such scores will be evaluated using the same standards applied to the scores of continuing students at the University.
