Students with comparable scores on IB exams that fall outside of these parameters should bring them to the attention of the Dean of First-Year Students, who will make a determination about credit, based upon the judgment of the Committee on Instruction. Students who have completed the IB curriculum will ordinarily be granted, on matriculation at Dartmouth College, one course credit for each score of 6 or 7 on the Higher Level examinations. A second credit may be granted, subject to departmental determinations. These credits may be used to reduce the number of courses required for graduation, but may not normally be used to satisfy any other degree requirement.
Unspecified credits have value primarily in reducing the number of courses needed to graduate.
Students given course credits under this arrangement must still complete all College and departmental requirements for graduation. Credit will be granted by the Office of the Dean of First-Year Students in accordance with the above policies. All claims for credit for IB work must be made by the end of the fall term of the first year. Questions about International Baccalaureate should be addressed to the First-Year Office. Please send comments to First-Year Office .
