General Certification of Education 'A' Levels, French Baccalaureate, and German Abitur

International advanced placement examinations such as General Certificate of Education 'A' levels, French Baccalaureate, and German Abitur may be awarded a maximum of 12 units per discipline for some of the subjects which receive College Board AP credit.

To request this test credit evaluation, bring your original certificate to the Student Services Center, 2nd Floor, Tresidder Union. If you have already submitted your original certificate to Stanford, submit a Student Service Center Help Ticket to request the test credit evaluation.

In order to be eligible to receive credit for the A-Level GCE exams, all of the following must apply:

  • Only British Advanced Level (A-Level) and Singapore Advanced Level (A-Level) exams are eligible to receive credit. A-Level exams from countries outside of the United Kingdom and Singapore are not accepted at Stanford.

  • Must have received a grade of A, B, C, or D.

  • The official "General Certificate of Education" must be submitted. Stanford does not accept the "Candidate's Statement of Results."

  • Only subjects that receive College Board AP credit are eligible to receive credit.
