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
