International Baccalaureate Programme
Huntington University will award up to 30 hours of credit,
equivalent to approximately one year of academic work, to
students who receive the full International Baccalaureate
Diploma and have earned grades of five or better in their three
higher level subjects. Students who have not earned the full
diploma may receive credit by earning a score of five or
higher in a specific subject. Students must have an official
transcript from IBO sent to the Office of the Registrar in order
for specific credit awards to be determined. Credit awards of
up to six semester hours are made for higher level subjects
and up to four semester hours for standard subjects. Equivalency
to Huntington requirements will be determined on a case
by case basis.
New Student Programs
The annual June Freshman Registration Weekend provides
an opportunity for freshmen and their parents to become
more familiar with university life by spending a weekend on
campus. Students meet peers, faculty, staff and administrators
and register for fall classes with an academic advisor.
Freshmen and transfer students are expected to attend new
student orientation for several days before the beginning of
the fall semester. This program assists new students in gaining
a perspective on the Huntington University experience. The
focus of orientation is to help students adjust academically,
personally, socially and spiritually while familiarizing
students with campus policies, procedures, services and
opportunities.
Small groups meet for discussion and mutual support with
an advising team of a faculty member and an upper class
student during orientation. For freshmen, this group also
meets as a class throughout the fall semester. The emphasis
for the course is the integration of faith and learning.
An abbreviated orientation for new students is also
conducted at the beginning of the spring semester.
