The Chancellor, in collaboration with the Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges, shall develop policy guidelines on the minimum passing scores for the International Baccalaureate and/or College Level Examination Program examinations. The policy guidelines shall be distributed to community college districts on an annual basis.
The governing board of a community college district shall adopt policies to grant credit for satisfactory completion of International Baccalaureate and/or College Level Examination Program examinations typically recognized by colleges and universities as measuring competencies comparable to those achieved in baccalaureate level courses or general education areas.
The faculty in the appropriate discipline must approve International Baccalaureate and/or College Level Examination Program examination scores deemed to constitute satisfactory performance for direct course credit and/or general education area credit. Credit may be awarded for the California Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum, California State University General Education Breadth, or local community college general education requirements, as most appropriate. Where no direct course or general education area matches an International Baccalaureate or College Level Examination Program exam, the college may award elective credit. Requirements may be met by such examinations in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the curriculum committee established pursuant to section 55002.
The student's academic record shall be clearly annotated to reflect that credit was earned through an international baccalaureate and/or college level examination program examination.
