Does Memorial University of Newfoundland give transfer credit for IB History HL?
St. John's, NL
Yes, Transfer Credit Available!
Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
Six unspecified History credit hours (second-year level)
Generic Credit: Unassigned credit, not a specific course. How it applies to your degree is determined by your faculty, and it may not replace a mandatory prerequisite for your major.
💡Expert's Take
This is unspecified credit, so no History course code is attached, but Memorial grants it at the second-year level rather than first, which is unusual and slightly better than the typical generic award. It counts toward your degree total and toward second-year History hours.
Two limits matter if you intend to study History. Memorial caps how much transfer credit a History program will absorb: no more than 15 transfer credit hours for a major and 9 for a minor, so this award alone consumes 6 of them. And because it is second-year credit with no course code, it cannot satisfy the major's required 3 credit hours at the 1000 level, nor the named HIST 2200 or 2210 requirement. You will still take both.
Official award line (IB Diploma, History HL):
Minimum score: 4
Credit granted: History six unspecified credit hours (second year level)
Standard Level at 4 earns three unspecified credit hours at the same level.
