💡Expert's Take

IB English A: Language and Literature SL is not listed in UM's current IB credit table. The IB section of the official AP/IB approved-courses chart shows only "English A or A1 (higher)" as an IB English entry, which awards ENGL 1200: Representative Literary Works (6 cr) at minimum grade 4. The chart's Notes state transfer credit "is reviewed on a regular basis and is subject to change," so this reflects the current table rather than a permanent rule.

For UM's English-language proficiency requirement, "a grade of four or greater on the International Baccalaureate Higher Level English course" is one listed waiver criterion; SL English is not on that list. For most Canadian-resident applicants this gap is rarely load-bearing because UM also waives the ELP requirement for "ten consecutive years of residency in Canada" (measured from the Record of Landing date to program start), or for graduation from a Canadian-curriculum secondary school with a year-12 English literature grade of 75% or higher. The SL versus HL ELP distinction therefore matters mainly for international applicants without a qualifying residency or Canadian-curriculum pathway, who will need an approved English-proficiency test, the full IB Diploma at 24 or higher with English-medium instruction, or another listed waiver.

Official award line (English A: Language and Literature SL): not listed in UM's current IB approved-credit table.
