Is the IB Diploma right for me?

Workload

Credit from UC’s and other universities

School grades vs. IB grades

Workload

LOTS! Especially as you begin to work on your Applications for Colleges and your Internal Assessments.

Budget your time wisely

and make sure all

Internal Assessments are completed on time

.

Complete your CAS requirements (due April

22, 2019)Finalize your Extended Essays (due January 15, 2019)

IB Credit at UC

Students who complete the IB diploma with a score of 30 or above will receive 30 quarter (20 semester) units toward their UC degree.

Students who receive IB certificates with scores of 5,6 or 7 on Higher Level exams will receive 8 quarter (5.3 semester) units.

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.

Students or counselors should contact individual campuses for more information on how subject credit may be granted.

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.Duplication with college coursesStudents should be advised that college courses taken before or after attending UC may duplicate IB examinations. If the student does duplicate an exam with a college course or vice versa, we will award credit for only one. (example Calculus)

Grades

are

determined by IB and are

Malpractice

Collusion: How to avoid it…

Discuss

your work with others, but don’t give anyone a hard copy, and under no circumstances whatsoever give anyone an electronic copy.

Plagiarism: How to avoid it…

You must reference your sources

AND

You must make it clear which words are not your ownAND

No extensive quotes; no very close paraphrasing

Both result in no grade for the subject concerned and hence no Diploma for that session☹

Consequences

You may lose the option of receiving the full diploma and being able to test in a subject this May if:

ANY

internal or external requirements were not completed on time

ANY

malpractice is discovered (especially after signing the declaration on the coversheet)

ANY

disregard to the Learner Profile and the Mission of the IB.If this happens there is no refund in the costs of the exams!

Requirements for Achieving the full IB Diploma?
