Students may receive credit for honor scores on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and other exams.
Students who matriculate in August 2011 or later may count this credit towards the 32 units needed to graduate, but not towards general education requirements*.
Students who matriculated in January 2011 or earlier may use credit from these exams to satisfy the Foreign Language Requirement, the Quantitative Requirement, and at most one course requirement from each of the three divisions.
Full International Baccalaureate with a score of 30 or better and honor scores in three higher-level exams (6 and 7 in English, French, History and Spanish; 5, 6, and 7 in other subjects) will receive a year's worth of credit (8 units)
Those students with a score of 35 or better, but with honor scores in fewer than three higher-level exams, receive two units of credit for each honor score in higher-level exams plus two for the exam as a whole;
Those students with a score of less than 30 receive two units of credit for each honor score in a higher-level exam.
For Advanced Exams only, each grade of A, B, C, is awarded 2 units of credit. The exception is for Economics, in which a student must earn an A or B on the exam.
Bryn Mawr does not give units of credit for Subsidiary Advanced Levels.
*General education requirements including the Emily Balch Seminar, the Approaches to Inquiry, Quantitative, and Foreign Language requirements.
