Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
2 Language LLS
💡Expert's Take
TMU's IB Higher Level table does not list "English A: Language and Literature" by name. The nearest entries are a "Language A or B" row (2 Language LLS) and a legacy "English A1" row (2 ENG LLS), both lower-level liberal studies (LLS) credit, which is a different category from TMU's "generic" (GEN) credit. So the exact subject code a student receives is not settled by the table itself.
What to watch for:
- Which row applies is unsettled. Read as a current Language A course, it maps to "Language A or B" (2 Language LLS); read as the successor to the old "English A1," it maps to 2 ENG LLS. Those carry different subject codes, so treat the specific code as provisional until your Transfer Credit Report posts it.
- The table lists HL subjects that "will be considered" at a grade of 5 or higher and is a guide that can change, so this is a likely award, not a guarantee.
- TMU's IB transfer table considers Higher Level subjects only; Standard Level is not listed.
Award line (IB English A: Language and Literature HL):
Minimum score: 5
Likely credit: 2 Language LLS, via the "Language A or B" row (lower-level liberal studies credit)
Considered at a grade of 5 or higher; confirm the exact code on your Transfer Credit Report.
