^^Effective Fall 2020
**Effective Fall 2021
*NOTMJ means: not major, general elective credit that will apply to the overall credits needed to graduate (120). These credits are not found equivalent to an one-to-one UMW course. These credits do not satisfy any requirements for the major unless a re-evaluation is submitted by the student. The NOTMJ course(s) also do not apply to the Gen-Ed requirements unless a re-evaluation is submitted by the Student to be re-evaluated by the Gen-Ed Committee. Although Modern Foreign Language courses transfer as general elective credit, they will satisfy the foreign language requirement.
NOTE: The University of Mary Washington now accepts Standard and Higher Learning test scores HL-4 and higher, SL-5 and higher.
International Baccalaureate (IB). The University awards academic credit for test scores of four (4) or higher on individual higher-level IB courses and for scores of five (5) or higher on individual standard-level IB course. Credit is also provided for the completion of the IB Diploma. A minimum of 15 credits will be awarded for the completed IB Diploma. If the IB Diploma student’s test scores results do not result in at least 15 credits, the difference will be awarded as elective credit (to add up to a minimum of 15 credits). Credit is awarded at the time of matriculation and is based on the scores earned on the IB examinations. All credit awarded will be recorded on the student’s permanent record and will be included in the credit total toward degree requirements. Credit will be awarded for 100-and 200-level course work (upper level credit can be awarded in some language areas). Credits awarded may count toward the major program or general education requirements. Credit awarded for particular tests is posted on the University website. Questions regarding credit equivalencies should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
Guidelines Covering the Application and/or Deletion of Transfer Credits. The following provisions apply to all forms of examination-based transfer credit (AP, Cambridge, IB, CLEP, DANTES).
1. Transfer credits will be forfeited and removed from the record if the equivalent course or courses are completed at UMW or another institution (and transferred into UMW for credit).
2. Transfer credits are counted as completed credits toward graduation, and thus affect all decisions regarding probation, suspension, and dismissal.
3. A student may request the permanent deletion of transfer credits from his or her record at any time except after academic dismissal.
