Credit will be applied to Shasta College program requirements. Grades and grade points will not be assigned to IB units. General education credit and units will be posted to the student’s transcript using the non-evaluative mark of “CR” (Credit Received).
*Transferability of credit will be determined by the transfer institution.
Students will need to request their IB Exam scores be sent directly to Shasta College. For information on how to do this, please visit: https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/assessment-and-exams/requesting-transcripts/
Please Note: If Shasta College awards Credit for Prior Learning coursework and units, they will be used to fulfill your Shasta College graduation requirements. This coursework and associated units will be added to your Shasta College transcript. Financial Aid cannot be used to pay for units earned through CPL.
If you plan to transfer to another institution, please be aware that every college/university has their own policies about Credit for Prior Learning. What was accepted at Shasta College may not be accepted at another institution.
