Students who complete IB exams must send an original
grade report from IB to Truman (the CEEB code is 6483).
Truman awards credit only for higher level (HL)
examinations.
A grade of T will be awarded for IB credit.
This grade will not affect the student's grade point
average but will count toward total hours and fulfill
degree requirements.
The following equivalencies are effective for students
entering Truman in Fall 2007. Equivalencies for future
students are subject to change without notice as a result of
changes in IB test content and Truman course/curriculum
changes. A brochure with this information is also available
in .pdf form by clicking
here.
If an exam that you are taking, or that you may take, is not
included in the list below, please contact the Truman State
University Registrar's Office at (660) 785-4143 or
registrar@truman.edu
for equivalency information.
