Admission Policies

International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement and CLEP

Linfield College recognizes the International Baccalaureate Diploma and subject examinations, and awards credit on a courseby- course basis for higher level courses passed with a grade of 5, 6 or 7, but these courses do not satisfy Linfield Curriculum requirements.

Up to five credits are given for Advanced Placement scores of 4 or 5 on examinations in academic areas normally taught at Linfield. These are evaluated on a course-by-course basis, but do not satisfy Linfield Curriculum requirements.

Credit may be given for course work earned through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). These are evaluated on a course-by-course basis, but do not satisfy Linfield Curriculum requirements.

The maximum amount of credit awarded by a combination of IB, AP or CLEP may not exceed thirty semester hours. A student may not receive IB, AP, or CLEP and college credit for the same content.
