History HL

Expert's Insight: This is unassigned credit inside the HIST_V rubric rather than a named course, so it satisfies no specific prerequisite. What makes it worth having is that UBC attaches no faculty restriction to this row, unlike several others on the same table where credit is excluded in Commerce or altered for App...

Expert's Insight: HIST 1XX is unassigned credit, so it cannot clear a named prerequisite or a specific program requirement. Its real function at McGill is filling the advanced-standing envelope: B.A. and B.A. and Sc. students receive up to 30 credits on three accepted HL subjects, and History is one of the three that...

Expert's Insight: History HL clears the entire first-year introductory history sequence — two named courses, not generic electives. The uOttawa advanced standing table awards HIS 1110 Introduction to Global History (3 units) and HIS 1111 The Twentieth-Century World from 1945 (3 units) — a total of 6 units...

Expert's Insight: Unusually for generic credit, this one clears a real requirement. USask states that for programs listing 100-level HIST courses among the options, generic 100-level HIST transfer credit will be used toward fulfilment of the English Language Writing Requirement. Generic Philosophy credit is barred fr...

Expert's Insight: The asterisks mean unassigned: U of T states that all secondary school transfer credits are awarded as unspecified. Even so, the Faculty of Arts and Science rates this credit usable for program admission, for program requirements and as a prerequisite, which is unusually permissive for credit with n...

Expert's Insight: Six units is a generous amount, but it arrives as unspecified Level 1 History with no course code attached, so it cannot satisfy a requirement that names a specific HISTORY course or act as a prerequisite. What it does well is shorten the degree, which McMaster states plainly is the point of advance...

Expert's Insight: A 1xxx code recognises discipline and year level only, so this credit does not clear HIST-1030 or move you into the HIST-2030 methods sequence. Where it sits in your degree, an open 1000/2000-level History slot or a free elective, is decided by your Academic Advising Report once the official UWindso...

Expert's Insight: Waterloo defines its own notation plainly: a 1XX award is first-year credit for an elective in that subject, and it can be used as an elective. At 0.5 units that is one term course of elective relief, no more, and it will not stand in for a named History requirement. The ceiling depends entirely on ...

Expert's Insight: HIST*1010, Early Modern Europe, is a named course, and at Guelph that is worth noting: most IB awards there map to unspecified 9110 codes such as HUMN 9110 or PHYS 9110, which can only fill free elective space. A named course can satisfy a first-year History requirement or serve as a prerequisite, s...

Expert's Insight: At 5 or better, York awards a named equivalency (AP/HIST 1010 6.00: War, Revolution and Society in the 20th Century) rather than only an unspecified block of junior credit. York explicitly calls its IB exemptions and credits table “a guide” and says transfer credit is “assessed bas...

Expert's Insight: Queen's attaches a note to this row that the data box cannot show, and it is the decisive one: students who wish to access a degree Plan in History must still take 6.0 units of a 100-level History course at Queen's. "UNS" means unspecified, and Queen's states that unspecified credits count toward co...

Expert's Insight: This award is unusual in a useful way. HIST 225, 20th Century Europe, is a named 200-level course, and it is one of only two 200-level equivalencies in SFU's entire IB table. It appears by name in the History major's European group, so it satisfies a real requirement rather than filling elective spa...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take History HL earns 3 units of transfer credit at UVic, but as a generic designation, not a named course. The official award is "100-level History course (3 units)": a block of first-year History credit that counts toward your degree total, but whose applicability to specific program requ...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take History HL delivers a generous 6-unit block of credit, but it is generic, unassigned credit, and it will normally occupy the full 200-level History allowance within the major the moment it is applied. UCalgary awards 6 units of junior History for a score of 5 or higher on History HL. "...

Expert's Insight: The award is generic first-year History credit, HIST 1XXX, not an equivalency to a named Carleton course. Generic credit is usually the weaker outcome, but History is the exception at Carleton: the B.A. Honours and Combined Honours in History ask for "1.0 credit at the 1000-level or FYSM 1405" witho...

Expert's Insight: This is unspecified credit, so no History course code is attached, but Memorial grants it at the second-year level rather than first, which is unusual and slightly better than the typical generic award. It counts toward your degree total and toward second-year History hours. Two limits matter if you...

Expert's Insight: At Concordia the value of this credit depends on your program. Concordia's IB Diploma statement admits applicants to the Extended Credit Program and awards History HL transfer credit toward it, but that credit reduces what you still have to complete only where Concordia assigns it to a requirement o...

Expert's Insight: TMU's IB Higher Level transfer table names credit for HL subjects from Biology to Visual Arts, but History is not among them, so no IB History HL equivalency is published. TMU says HL subjects completed with a grade of 5 or higher "will be considered," and calls these tables non-comprehensive guides...

Expert's Insight: IB History earns UNB transfer credit only at Higher Level, at a minimum final grade of 5; SL History earns nothing. The award is 6 credit hours on both campuses, but they hand it over in different forms, and that difference matters most if you intend to study History (UNB AP & IB transfer-credit...

Expert's Insight: A Higher Level History result of 5 or higher is considered for transfer credit at Ontario Tech. Because Ontario Tech does not publish a subject-by-subject IB equivalency table, whether it lands as a named course equivalent or as unspecified elective credit, and how many credit hours it carries, is d...

Expert's Insight: 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 ...

Expert's Insight: Lakehead lists History HL against a named course rather than unspecified credit in the subject area: a qualifying score may be considered for the full-year survey History 1100, The Making of the Modern World, and Lakehead's chart adds that the credit "allows you to begin completing Year 2 History co...
