Universities Accepting History HL

University of Victoria

Victoria, BC

Min Grade: 4
100-level History course (3 units)
Save $555

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...

York University

Toronto, ON

Min Grade: 5
AP/HIST 1010 6.0 (6 credits)
Save $1458

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...

University of Ottawa

Ottawa, ON

Min Grade: 5
HIS 1110 + HIS 1111 (6 units)
Save $1320

Expert's Insight: Expert’s Take 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) &mdash...

University of Windsor

Windsor, ON

Min Grade: 5
HIST-1xxx (1st Year History Course)
Save $720

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take 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 of...

University of Calgary

Calgary, Alberta

Min Grade: 5
6 units junior History
Save $1194

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. "...

Toronto Metropolitan University

Toronto, ON

Min Grade: N/A
Not awarded (not listed in IB HL table)

Expert's Insight: TMU's IB Higher Level transfer table names credit for 19 HL subjects, from Biology to Visual Arts, but History is not among them, so no IB History HL award is published. TMU states only that HL subjects at a grade of 5 or higher "will be considered," and calls these tables non-comprehensive guides o...

Concordia University

Montreal, Quebec

Min Grade: 4
9 transfer credits toward the 120-credit Extended Credit Program (ECP); maximum 27 credits across up to 3 HL courses
Save $1620

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...
