<p>American high schools follow a credit-system as well. IUB is saying that they expect more advanced coursework from their students than the minimum requirements for an American high school diploma. </p>

<p>However, since you were not educated in the US, you can safely ignore that. There’s a similar table for international applicants that spells out the admission requirements for students from different school systems: <a href=“http://ois.iu.edu/admissions/apply/freshmen/equivalent.shtml”>http://ois.iu.edu/admissions/apply/freshmen/equivalent.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>British students need at least a GCSE for admission, and A-levels may be awarded college credit. </p>
