💡Expert's Take
UBC publishes no first-year credit award for English A: Literature SL, but its IB table is expressly not exhaustive, so this is not a refusal. The subject is not among the Standard Level entries in UBC's IB first-year credit table, which considers all Higher Level but only some Standard Level courses. At HL, a 5 earns ENGL_V 1st-year level credit (6 credits); see our English A: Literature HL page.
Official award line (English A: Literature SL):
Credit granted: Not listed. UBC states that "the table below is not exhaustive, so credit may be granted for courses not shown", so ask UBC to assess this subject rather than assuming nothing is available
