College Recognition Update for S.C. Colleges and Universities
On February 12th, the Committee on Academic Affairs and Licensing voted to recommend adoption of a Cambridge policy for AS & A Levels at the score of E to the full Commission. On March 4th, the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education will reach a final consensus to include the policy language in the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education Policies on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge Assessment International Credit Awards.
If the vote is approved, by August 2021 the policy will be in place and enforced by all in-state public institutions. Upon the final vote all in-state public colleges/universities will compose credit charts starting in April/May 2021. Credit charts will explain which Cambridge AICE course will be accepted, along with the number of transferred credits, and the course it will substitute for within the institution’s system. Colleges/universities are projected to begin accepting Cambridge AICE credits for students matriculating in the fall of 2021. Cambridge’s Recognition Database will be updated to reflect the changes. This database is used to populate a search of colleges/universities that have provided Cambridge with formal written acceptance of Cambridge AS Level and A Level qualifications.

Learn about earning the AICE Diploma :
Students need seven credits to earn a Cambridge AICE Diploma.
Four Required Courses:
- 1 credit from Core: Global Perspectives & Research
- 1 credit from Group 1: Science and Math
- 1 credit from Group 2: Languages
- 1 Credit from Group 3: Arts and Humanities
Three Additional Choice Courses:
Courses may be taken in any group, with exception of only two courses in Group 4: Interdisciplinary Skills.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma is awarded on a points system, so each grade is converted to a number of points. Students may calculate the total number of points for all seven course grades to determine the AICE Diploma award type.
