Does University of Saskatchewan give transfer credit for IB French A: Literature HL?
Saskatoon, SK
Yes, Transfer Credit Available!
Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
Fren Jr.6 (6 credit units of junior French)
💡Expert's Take
"Jr." means junior, which USask defines as 100-level, and ".6" is the credit-unit value. So this is six credit units of unassigned 100-level French rather than named courses. Worth noting the asymmetry: French A: Language and Literature earns two named courses, FREN 122.3 and 125.3, while French A: Literature does not.
Generic credit is not automatically dead weight at USask. Its policy allows transfer credit in lieu, meaning you can approach the department to determine whether generic credit fulfils a program requirement. Also relevant if you continue in French: where a student takes more than six credit units at the 100 level in the same language, only the first six count as junior. USask lets you decline transfer credit through an academic advisor using its Decline Transfer Credit Form.
Official award line (IB Diploma, French A: Literature HL):
Minimum score: 5
Credit granted: Fren Jr.6, six credit units of junior French
USask lists this as its "Language French" row, distinct from "Language and Literature French" and "Language French B".
