💡Expert's Take
SL receives no credit at MUN; only the HL version of English A: Literature earns transfer credit (score 4 awards English 1090 + 1191). The SL row on the official IB transfer credit chart lists no minimum score and "No credit," so SL students enter MUN without any standing in English from this subject.
The HL award (English 1090 + 1191) is meaningful at MUN because it covers two recognized Critical Reading and Writing (CRW) courses; losing both because of the SL/HL split is a substantive gap, not a paperwork one. The IB chart also notes that it "is not intended to outline the grade requirements for general admission to Memorial University," so a "no credit" outcome here does not affect admission eligibility, which is governed by separate Canadian or international curriculum requirements.
What to watch for:
- SL English A: Literature does not double as a substitute for English A: Language and Literature SL. Those are separate rows on the chart, and only Lang & Lit SL earns a single first-year English course at score 4.
- Course outlines/syllabuses are usually required for transfer credit review (per the Registrar's transfer credit process), but IB awards are precedent-based and applied automatically once the official IB transcript reaches MUN. Students do not need to submit syllabuses for IB itself.
Plan to take a Critical Reading and Writing course in first year. English 1090 is one recognized CRW option, but accepted CRW courses and program-level English requirements vary by faculty and campus, so confirm specifics with your academic advisor or the relevant section of the University Calendar before registering.
