University of New Brunswick (all campuses)
Policy:
University IB Diploma Recognition Policy The University of New Brunswick welcomes and encourages applications from
International Baccalaureate students. Similar to the IB program, the UNB learning environment has at the heart of its
design, student centered, purposeful and challenging teaching. With eleven distinct Faculties encompassing a plethora
of subjects and levels of study, on two distinct but integrated campuses (Fredericton and Saint John), UNB fosters
multidisciplinary flexibility of field and place of study.
UNB values the holistic and rigorous curriculum of the IB program and, as such, recognizes applicants in two important
ways.The first is with respect to admission. IB courses are viewed and assessed as advanced level study and may be
considered as an equivalent to particular UNB courses, in effect counting as UNB transfer credits. More specifically, UNB
offers transfer credits for successfully completed Higher Level courses (with a minimum grade of 5, 6 or 7) in English,
French, History, Economics, Math, Chemistry, Biology and Physics.
The second is with respect to scholarships. When calculating an applicant's scholarship average, UNB awards as much as
three bonus points for successfully completed advanced level courses, increasing either the likelihood of receiving a
scholarship offer or the scholarship offer itself.

In order to obtain a certificate of equivalency with Tawjihi, students are required to take the following documents to the
'Equivalency Department' (ED) at the Ministry of Education's 'Directorate of Examinations':
a) Certificate issued by the school stating that the student has completed his/her high school education, duly authenti-
cated by the Ministry's 'Directorate of Private Education'.
b) Equivalency Request Form (which can be obtained from the 'ED'), duly filled in by the candidate.
c) A photocopy of the student's national identification card (original to be presented for verification).
d) A photocopy of the student's official Transcript of Results (original to be presented for verification)
The Ministry will accordingly issue a certificate of equivalency equating the results to 'Science' or 'Arts' stream Tawjihi.
However, official transcripts of results (item d above) are not issued by the IBO until after the middle of August.In order to
help students meet the application deadline to Jordanian universities, an unofficial transcript of
results should instead be printed off the computer by the school and then duly signed and authenticated by the
Principal.Once this is presented to the Ministry - together with the other required documents - a 'copy' of the
equivalency certificate will be issued which may be attached to applications.However, once students receive their official
Transcripts of Results in August they must submit them to the Equivalency Department in order to receive the original
'Certificate of Equivalency' which is required for 'registration' at university. Schools with Jordanian candidates who are
planning to attend Jordanian universities should complete a B2 form (results provision request) on IBNET/IBIS to request
that the results of these students be released to the Ministry of Education in Jordan.

General information about university admissions in South Africa (ZA)
Access to higher education in South Africa is regulated through legislation and it is conducted on two levels. In the first
place, candidates need to meet the legislated minimum admission requirements which are administered by the Matricu-
lation Board. One of the critical functions of this Board is to advise the Minister of Higher Education and Training on the
minimum admission requirements for higher education studies. The Matriculation Board operates under the auspices of
Higher Education South Africa (HESA). HESA is the coordinating body for the 23 public universities in South Africa.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and Certificate are fully recognized for university admission in South Africa
as reflected in the government gazette no.: 31674, vol. 522 of 5 December 2008. Candidates with international school
leaving qualifications which are locally benchmarked and approved such as the International Baccalaureate and wish to
apply for university studies in South Africa are required to apply for certificates of exemption form the Matriculation
Board. The detailed exemption application procedure can be accessed on the Higher Education Enrolment Programme
website available on www.hesa-enrol.ac.zaApplications for exemption certificates can also be addressed to the Matricu-
lation Board via the University and must be accompanied by the application form, copy of the school leaving qualifica-
tion and the relevant exemption fee.
As no IB credits are transferable towards a degree, the IB at present has the effect that candidates have to complete 13
years of schooling compared to the 12 years of schooling required to obtain the South African Senior Certificate with
university endorsement, which is the qualification required for admission to the University studies in our country.
May 1994
SOUTH AFRICA
University of Port Elizabeth
Policy:
A person holding a foreign school-leaving certificate must submit an application to the South African Matriculation
Board in order to ascertain whether he/she qualifies for a certificate of either full or conditional exemption from the
matriculation examination. No student's application will be accepted by this University without such a certificate.
The Matriculation Board has confirmed that it recognises the International Baccalaureate Diploma and students who
hold this diploma will be issued with a certificate of conditional exemption for foreigners.
Once the student is in possession of the above-mentioned certificate, his/her application will be accepted by the
University, subject to the admission requirements specified by the various faculties.
November 2000
SOUTH AFRICA
University of South Africa (UNISA)
Policy:
A holder of an IB Diploma will on application qualify for a foreign conditional exemption certificate. This certificate issued
by the Matriculation Board of the Committee of University Principals constitutes the minimum general requirement for
first degree studies at the University.
Alternatively, a holder of 5 IB Certificates with Grade 4 to 7 subject credits in two HL and three SL subjects (which must
include English) will also on application qualify for a foreign conditional exemption certificate of the Matriculation Board.
Applications for such certificates must be directed to the University and must be accompanied by the relevant exemp-
tion fee. Holders of the above qualifications may, where applicable, be required to satisfy specific faculty or course
admission requirements.
June 1998
SOUTH AFRICA
University of Witwatersrand
Policy:
All recognised universities in this country are bound by the provisions of the Universities Act which require a student to
have obtained a matriculation certificate or a certificate of exemption issued by the Matriculation Board. Generally, a
school-leaving qualification which entitles the holder to unconditional admission to a university or institution in the
country where the qualification was obtained, provided the Matriculation Board has approved such university/institu-
tion, will be recognised in South Africa. Holders of the IB Diploma qualifications will normally qualify for an exemption by
the Matriculation Board. This University itself has no difficulty with IB applicants provided the Matriculation Board grants
an exemption. While some faculties use a rating system, holders of foreign qualifications are not normally rated in the
same way. Entry to degree courses, particularly to restricted degrees, is normally dependant upon a satisfactory result (a
candidate offering ""C"" symbols or above would fall into this category). Undergraduate foreign applicants who are not
South African citizens or who do not have permanent residence or who do not live in neighbouring states are likely to
have difficulty in obtaining a study permit.

equalisation board (Law July 6th, 2010) General Secretariat of Universities (BOE 167, July 10th, 2010), students can use
their IB Diploma to access to Spanish universities, avoiding the P.A.U. test.
