Cambridge Correspondence Chart
- As of Fall 2023 Cambridge International Exams at the A-Level with scores of A*, A, B, C, D, and E will generally receive one course unit of elective credit.
- Cambridge scores of A*, A and B may also earn Shared Curriculum credit or be equivalent to a 100-level or 200-level IWU course as shown in the chart below. No laboratory credit will be awarded. Credit is not awarded for AS-Level examinations.
- Course electives for Cambridge credit will show as 1TR (Transfer elective) on the IWU academic record. For example, Cambridge Chemistry with a score of A*, A or B will be listed as CHEM 1TR for 1 unit and earn the Physical Science Issues Shared Curriculum attribute. A Cambridge Chemistry score of C, D, or E will be shown as ELEC 1TR for 1 unit to indicate elective credit on the student’s IWU academic record.
- IWU is able to access your results through our Cambridge account with your permission. Please contact the Registrar’s office at registrar@iwu.edu for more information.
