A.5.2.1 International Baccalaureate (IB)


Applicants who have completed the International Baccalaureate diploma can be considered for admission as a high school student on the basis of their diploma score. Students must have three courses at the higher level with no grades below 3, meet the admission score and complete the specific course requirements for the program to which they have applied. IB Diploma students are considered high school applicants.

For applicants who complete both the International Baccalaureate diploma and senior matriculation/secondary school graduation, admission will be based on that credential which is to the advantage of the student.

The University of Calgary awards up to 30 units (one year) of post-secondary transfer credit for the completed International Baccalaureate diploma. Students should refer to section A.13 Transfer Credit/Advanced Standing for details.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
