Benefits for IB Diploma and course Certificate students 

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits are determined by each institution individually, but might include credit for certain IB scores, scholarships or tuition assistance.

Some universities allow IB students to enter their institution as second-year students, meaning the undergraduate education will be three years instead of four.

Students taking Diploma Programme (DP) courses but not the full diploma might be able to receive credit from institutions for individual courses, but policy is also determined by each institution, and sometimes each individual programme or faculty within the institution. Most institutions indicate their IB recognition policy on their website.

Check the application deadline for each institution, as deadlines may vary.

Many are in December or January.

Some institutions have a rolling admissions process, which means that there might not be a strict application deadline.

Decisions from a university might be sent out as early as three weeks after the application is received, or they may take several months.

Some institutions offer conditional acceptances, and when final grades and/or IB scores are sent, the offer is either rescinded or made official.

Applications can be completed online

Most institutions require biographical information, education background (including transcripts, IB predicted grades, and IB final grades when available) and intended area of study.

Some universities might ask for letters of recommendation, personal essays or test scores, so students should find out what an application will require well in advance of the application deadline.
