💡Expert's Take
IB Economics SL is not listed in UM's current IB credit table. The IB section of the official AP/IB approved-courses chart shows only "Economics: Micro/Macro (higher)" as an IB Economics entry, which awards ECON 1010 + ECON 1020 (6 cr) at a minimum grade of 4. The chart's Notes state that transfer credit "is reviewed on a regular basis and is subject to change," so this reflects the current table rather than a permanent rule.
If you later need first-year Economics at UM, check what your program requires. Economics programs accept either pair: B.A. General entry and the Economics-Mathematics Joint Honours both list a grade of C (or B for Joint Honours) in "both ECON 1010 and ECON 1020, or both ECON 1210 and ECON 1220." The two pairs are mutually exclusive: per the Economics course descriptions, you "may not hold credit for ECON 1010 and any of: ECON 1011 or ECON 1210 or ECON 1211 or ECON 1220 or ECON 1221" (and the parallel rule applies to ECON 1020).
UM also notes that students should consult their faculty or school about how AP/IB transfer credit may be used in their program. Even when HL Economics credit is awarded, faculty-specific rules can affect how ECON 1010/1020 fit into degree audits or alternate sequences, so confirm with your faculty advisor before locking in a first-year plan.
Official award line (Economics SL): not listed on UM's current IB chart, so no transfer credit is granted.
For reference, the only IB Economics entry on the chart is Economics: Micro/Macro (higher), minimum grade 4, awarded as ECON 1010 (3) + ECON 1020 (3).
