AP Transcripts
- When students write their AP exams, they have the option of listing which post-secondary institutions they would like official copies of their transcripts sent to. If the student does this, then King’s will receive the transcripts.
- King’s does not receive AP transcripts automatically; therefore, if the student does not complete the above, s/he will need to contact the AP office and request for official transcripts to be sent to King’s.
- If the student receives grades lower than four in each subject, which is needed for transfer credit, and they have at least five grade 12 courses, we can use their high school grades for admission and will not require copies of their AP transcripts.
IB (International Baccalaureate) Admission Requirements
IB courses can be used for admission purposes, in whole or in part. If a student has an IB course and a regular course in the same subject, the higher of the two grades will be used for admission.
IB Admission

- Must have five grade 12 academic courses:
- One must be grade 12 academic English.
- Three standard courses (Examples: Social Studies, Languages, Math, Calculus, Science, Fine Arts).
