IB Course Credit

Incoming students may be granted up to 20 credits on the basis of their IB coursework. Credits are only awarded for Higher Level IB courses based on the student receiving a score at or above the level approved by the department that evaluated the course (in no case less than a score of five). In order to grant credit, Rider’s Office of Undergraduate Admission must be sent an official IB transcript.

The process for evaluating new, or revised IB courses shall be:

  1. The Office of Admissions sends IB courses to the appropriate Dean’s office
  2. The Dean’s Office sends the course to the appropriate department chair
  3. The department evaluates the course and determines equivalence, minimum score needed to receive credit, and number of credits to be awarded. This information is shared with the Dean’s Office who reports it back to the Office of Admissions.

Note: A maximum of 30 credits will be awarded based on a combination of all assessment procedures (AP, CLEP, and IB). CLEP credit will only be awarded for courses where the college offering the course awards credit through CLEP. In exceptional circumstances (such as highly qualified prospective students or second degree seeking students) and with permission of the dean of the academic unit from which the courses were being offered, students may be allowed to transfer more than 30 advanced standing credits.
