The University of Pikeville recognizes course credit earned through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program and may earn up to 12 semester credit hours. To receive course credit, a student must have earned a score of 5, 6, or 7 on either the Standard Level (SL) exam or the Higher Level (HL) exam and be a registered student at the University of Pikeville. Any student desiring credit must request an IB transcript to be sent to the University and in some cases additional curriculum information may be requested from the student’s high school before credit is awarded. Course credit awarded through the IB program will apply toward degree requirements and is recorded with a letter grade of “P”; hence, it has no effect upon the student’s overall grade point average. Questions and information regarding the International Baccalaureate Program should be directed to the Registrar’s Office.
