Does Toronto Metropolitan University give transfer credit for IB Physics HL?
Toronto, ON
Transfer Credit Possible – Individual Evaluation
This course may be accepted for transfer credit. The university evaluates each student's file individually after admission, so the outcome (a specific course, elective credit, or none) is decided case by case.
Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
Individual evaluation (HL 5 or higher); no published equivalency
💡Expert's Take
IB Physics HL has no row in TMU's IB Higher Levels chart, but TMU states those charts are guides and are not comprehensive, so absence from the table is not a refusal. TMU's policy is that IB Higher Levels with grades of 5 or higher may be considered for transfer credit on an individual basis, so a Physics HL result is assessed case by case after admission. One IB-specific restriction: engineering students are not eligible for transfer credits for core and professional engineering courses using IB subjects.
Official award line (IB Physics Higher Level):
Minimum score: no Physics-specific entry; TMU's general HL threshold for individual consideration is 5 or higher
Credit granted: none published. Physics HL is absent from the IB Higher Levels chart, so any award depends on individual assessment after admission; consideration is not a guarantee of credit.
