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 Standard Level credit is only available to IB Diploma holders. IB Certificate students do not receive credit for SL courses at SFU. Your French A: Literature SL earns 3 units of general credit (FREN 1XX) at a grade of 4 or higher, the same flat award SFU gives for every transferable SL subject. The six-unit award, FREN 1XX (6) or FREN 1XX (3) + WL 1XX (3) depending on SFU's French placement test, is Higher Level only, see the French A: Literature HL page. See the full IB transfer credit table for details.
Completed the Higher Level instead? See our French A: Literature HL page for that award.
