💡Expert's Take
The University of Windsor's published IB equivalency table has no French B HL row, so an HL result carries no listed course award. UWindsor grants IB transfer credit only for approved courses on that table, at grades of 5 or more. If you took French B at SL instead, a 5 earns FREN-1210 (French Language Training I); see our French B SL page. The missing HL row looks like a table gap rather than an explicit denial: wherever the table lists both levels of a subject, HL earns at least as much as SL, and the other Language B entries (Arabic B, Hindi B) appear at HL. If you hold French B HL, confirm your assessment with the Office of the Registrar (transcripts@uwindsor.ca) before assuming no credit.
No published award line (French B HL):
Minimum score: None published; approved IB entries require 5 or more
Credit granted: Not listed. The table's only French B entry is "French Language B SL" (FREN-1210 French Language Training 1).
