Get IU credit for taking your British-style Advanced Level courses
Credit for advanced coursework
Indiana University recognizes British-style Advanced Level exams administered by Cambridge, Pearson, Edexcel, AQA, OCR, and Eduqas/WJEC. You may be eligible to receive credit toward your degree if you have completed any of the Advanced Level exams below.
To receive credit for Advanced/AS Level or International Baccalaureate exams, send an official original copy of your Advanced/AS Level certificate to the Office of International Services.
Color photocopies or notarized photocopies cannot be used to award credit.
In addition to the A Level credit listed below, Indiana University now accepts International GCE AS Level exam credit in accordance with university, campus, and department policies. For both A Level and AS exams, a grade of E or higher is required for credit articulation. Some programs may require a higher score for direct equivalency credit. Credit that cannot be directly articulated to an IU course is listed as undistributed credit toward a degree, designated by "UN" and "UNDI."
