In the coming weeks, charges for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams will appear within the MySchoolBucks accounts of juniors and seniors enrolled in IB classes. IB exams are available to seniors as they complete their two-year IB classes, as well as juniors completing one-year IB classes. Students registered for IB exams in October, and confirmed their registrations during the week of Nov. 11.
IB exams cost $123 per subject and offer students the opportunity to earn college credit with qualifying scores. Most students leave Northfield with at least three college credits, and some with as many as 30 credits based on their achievement on IB exams. 100 percent of the cost of exam fees is paid to IB; Northfield retains $0 of exam registration fees.
We are pleased to be able to offer no-cost IB exams for students who receive free and reduced price lunch. Students also had the opportunity to apply for scholarships during the registration process and we are pleased to be able to grant these scholarships. Scholarship discounts are reflected on MySchoolBucks.
Students who wish to sign up for exams that they did not initially sign up for will be charged a $39 late fee for each late exam until Wednesday, Jan. 15. Conversely, students wishing to withdraw from an exam can do so until Tuesday, Jan. 14 to receive a full refund. After this date, no refunds will be given, and no additional registrations can be made.
For late registrations, withdrawals, or other issues, please contact Northfield IB Coordinator, Mr. Peter Wright.
