Does Toronto Metropolitan University give transfer credit for IB Physics HL?
Toronto, ON
Not Currently Accepted
Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
Not listed in TMU IB HL chart; assessed individually on application
💡Expert's Take
IB Physics HL is not published in TMU's current IB Higher Level transfer-credit guide: the chart lists Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science, but there is no Physics row. TMU does say that HL subjects completed with a 5 or higher may be considered for transfer credit on an individual basis once you are admitted and apply. Because Physics is not in that chart, an individual review may involve submitting a course outline for faculty assessment, and any decision appears on your Transfer Credit Report as a Granted or Denied result, with official credit requiring final grades. Being eligible for that review is not the same as holding a credit. One firm limit: Engineering students cannot use IB subjects toward core or professional engineering course credit.
Official status (IB Physics Higher Level):
Consideration threshold: HL grade 5 or higher, TMU's general bar for HL transfer-credit review; there is no Physics-specific entry.
Published credit granted: None. Physics HL is absent from TMU's IB Higher Level chart, so any award would depend on individual faculty assessment after you apply.
