Applicants who have successfully completed the IB diploma with the appropriate prerequisite subjects will be considered for admission.
Admission consideration is not based on the overall IB diploma score. IB subject grades are converted to the equivalent Brock grade and will be used to confirm if prerequisites and the overall admission average have been met.
Students who are admitted to Brock based on their IB diploma may be awarded a maximum of 3.0 transfer credits for HL examinations completed at a minimum grade of 5.
Applicants, who successfully complete an IB Certificate program with a minimum of six subjects including prerequisites may also be considered for admission and transfer credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated once Official IB results are received directly from IBO.
