💡Expert's Take
At Concordia the value of this credit depends on your program. Concordia's IB Diploma statement admits applicants to the Extended Credit Program and awards English A: Language and Literature HL transfer credit toward it, but that credit reduces what you still have to complete only where Concordia assigns it to a requirement or elective you would otherwise take. Concordia publishes no subject-by-subject IB equivalency, so placement depends on a program-level review rather than a fixed subject mapping.
HL only. The SL version of this subject earns no transfer credit at Concordia, since transfer credit is awarded for HL courses.
Official award line (IB Diploma, HL):
Minimum score: 4 or higher
Credit granted: 9 transfer credits per HL course toward the 120-credit Extended Credit Program (ECP); maximum 27 transfer credits across up to 3 HL courses
Concordia states that transfer credits and course exemptions will be listed in your offer of admission. That is the IB Diploma Programme rule. Under the Career-related Programme, Concordia assesses transfer credits and course exemptions case by case.
