-* Arlington Public Schools (APS) pays for the examination fees for all IB classes.  Any student who registers for an IB class, but chooses not to complete the required internal assessment and/or sit for the May examination must pay a drop fee.  All fees are established by the International Baccalaureate Organization.  Additionally, as outlined in the APS Program of Studies, students who do not complete the required assessments will not earn the additional quality point.
+* As an advanced course, students are expected to perform at or above a “C” at all times. Grades below a 70% are considered unsatisfactory, even though students will be earning extra quality points when they complete the course Internal Assessment (IA) and sit for the external IB examination. Students who complete both on time will be exempt from final examinations for this course. Students who fail to submit the required IA will not be eligible to sit for the external examination.  Students who do not sit for the external examination will be awarded a mark of "N", no mark, by the International Baccalaureate Organization.  This will result in the loss of the quality point on the school transcript and they will be required to take a final exam on the date specified in the WLHS calendar.  If this happens, the final course grade will be an average of the four quarter grades and the final exam grade.
