Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
CS 110 + CS 115
💡Expert's Take
This is a named course equivalency, not generic elective credit. CS 110 (Programming and Problem Solving) and CS 115 (Object-Oriented Design) are both required courses in the 2026-2027 BSc in Computer Science, so the award applies directly to degree requirements.
The award also clears CS 115's own entry gate: CS 110 with at least 65% and one of MATH 110 (which may be taken concurrently) or MATH 103 with at least 80%. CS 210 (Data Structures and Abstractions), the next course gated by CS 115, still requires MATH 110 (Calculus I); other required courses in the program, such as CS 180 and CS 201, require only CS 110.
What to watch for: Regina assesses IB credit only from the official IB transcript sent directly by the testing agency; the registrar notes your provincial high school transcript "lacks the details needed for credit assessment" (transfer credit policy). Order your IB results sent to the U of R with your application or soon after an offer.
SL: no credit. Regina's applicant guide extends transfer credit to "Certain Higher Level IB courses" only; see our Computer Science SL page.
Official award line (Computer Science HL):
Minimum score: 5 ("A minimum grade of 5 is required for transfer")
Credit granted: CS 110 (3 credit hours) and CS 115 (3 credit hours)
