Physics SL

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take IB Physics SL earns no transfer credit at uOttawa, by design, not exception. The uOttawa transfer credit policy for IB explicitly covers higher level courses only. Standard Level subjects across the board, Physics included, are recognized for admission purposes but cannot generate any ...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take IB Physics SL earns you real university credit at UAlberta, but where it fits in your degree depends almost entirely on which physics stream your program expects. A score of 6 or 7 on Physics SL maps to PHYS 124 (3 units), an algebra-based introduction to physics designed primarily for...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take This Standard Level credit is only available to IB Diploma holders. IB Certificate students do not receive credit for SL courses at SFU. Your Physics SL credit of PHYS 1XX (3) is general elective credit; it counts toward your 120-unit graduation total but does not replace a specific co...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take IB Physics SL earns zero transfer credit at the University of Toronto, across all three campuses. U of T's secondary school transfer credit policy excludes all Standard Level IB results categorically. No score qualifies, and no campus makes an exception. Physics HL is a different story...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take IB Physics SL receives no course-based transfer credit on Memorial's IB chart (Standard, score "-", "No credit"). For details on the HL pathway and the caveats that apply when opting for HL Physics over SL, see our Memorial Physics HL page. MUN's IB admissions page notes that SL subjec...

Expert's Insight: Expert's Take The University of Manitoba AP and IB approved courses chart does not include an entry for standard-level Physics, so IB Physics SL earns no transfer credit. Credit is awarded only for IB subjects listed on that chart with a minimum result of 4. IB Physics HL is awarded PHYS 1020: Gener...

Expert's Insight: Whether this award helps depends entirely on your program. PHYS-1300 is Windsor's algebra-based, life-sciences physics course, not the calculus-based PHYS-1400 stream. In most life-science degrees the PHYS-1300 and PHYS-1310 pair is only one option in a science-pair menu (sitting alongside PHYS-1400...

Expert's Insight: Concordia awards IB transfer credit for HL courses only, so Physics SL earns no transfer credit. The HL version scoring 4 or higher is eligible for 9 transfer credits toward the 120-credit Extended Credit Program (ECP); see the Physics HL page. Official award line (IB Diploma, SL): Credit granted: N...
