Regina, SK
Yes, Transfer Credit Available!
Minimum Grade Required

Generic Credit: Unassigned credit, not a specific course. How it applies to your degree is determined by your faculty, and it may not replace a mandatory prerequisite for your major.
💡Expert's Take
The listing is a named-course equivalency, the strongest kind of award. Regina's transfer credit database, which the university describes as an unofficial list of previously evaluated courses, currently maps History HL to HIST 116, Issues in World History, a 100-level course rather than unspecified elective credit, and it can fill the one 100-level HIST course that Regina's History majors and minors require, subject to each program's own rules on how transfer credit is applied. The formal award is made only after admission, when the registrar assesses IB transcripts automatically, with no separate request needed.
What to watch for: Regina's IB chart carries a separate entry for History of the Americas HL marked "TRCR DOC," which Regina defines as "Submit a syllabus to determine equivalence": a placeholder for a missing or outdated assessment, not a final zero. Admitted students can send a course outline to Transfer Credit Services for evaluation; Regina does not assess outlines for prospective students. History SL does not appear on the chart at all.
Official award line (IB History HL):
Minimum score: 5 ("A minimum grade of 5 is required for transfer," per the
registrar's IB transfer policy)
Credit granted: HIST 116, Issues in World History, 3 credit hours (effective term 202210)
