General Education Certificate
General Education Certificate (GCE) Advanced Level Examinations may be used to fulfill some course requirements. Credit is only awarded for A (Advanced)-Level examinations, not for AS (Advanced Subsidiary)-Level. Exams must reflect a grade of C or higher on a US grading scale to earn credit. Only “pass credit” will be awarded by Northwest, not a grade.
