Yes. The credit granted at Queen’s for IB English is usually unspecified—it will count as a first-year course toward your university degree but not as units in English. So you will still need to take ENGL 100/6.0 (receiving a grade of C or better) to qualify for 200-level ENGL courses. A maximum of 18.0 units may be granted for International Baccalaureate examinations passed with a grade of 5 or higher. For complete information, visit the Admission website.
