University of California IB Policy◦ “Students who complete the IB
diploma with a score of 30 or above will receive 30 quarter (20 semester) units toward their UC degree.
◦ Designated examinations may be considered equivalent to UC freshman-level courses in the subject and may be used to satisfy general education or breadth requirements.
◦ The units granted for IB exams are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for declaration of a major or the maximum number of units a student may accumulate prior to graduation. Students who enter the UC with IB credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students, nor are they required to graduate earlier.”
