Official scores must be received to receive waivers and/or credit.
International Baccalaureate Program
Students who have earned an IB diploma will be granted 32 credit hours and fulfillment of the General Education Curriculum
upon entrance to Lake Erie College. Students who earn IB Certificates or take single IB course units but who do
not complete the entire diploma program can receive credit by earning the necessary scores on exams. Scores of “4”

Courses will be evaluated on an individual basis to determine which requirement a course fulfills. An individual course

each case, credit hours for a single course will only be granted once.

from high school prior to the beginning of their first semester. A registration block will be placed on a student’s account
for the second semester if the final transcript is not received.
