No transfer credit
💡Expert's Take
Queen's awards no transfer credit for IB English at Higher Level. Its chart does not separate the two English A courses: a single HL English A or B entry reads No credit, and it appears in all six faculty tables plus Health Sciences. Queen's adds that these courses earn nothing regardless of a student's score, so Language and Literature is treated exactly as Literature is, at every grade.
Official award line (IB English A: Language and Literature HL):
Minimum score: Not applicable, no score earns credit
Credit granted: No credit
