Thunder Bay, ON
Yes, Transfer Credit Available!

Math 1-00 (Unspecified First Year Full Credit)
Generic Credit: Unassigned credit, not a specific course. How it applies to your degree is determined by your faculty, and it may not replace a mandatory prerequisite for your major.
💡Expert's Take
A score of 5 or better in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches HL is listed for a full first-year credit at Lakehead. Lakehead's high school advanced standing policy states that "advanced standing is automatically awarded once the University receives all final official transcripts/exam results", while its IB section says qualifying HL results "may be considered", so arrange for the IBO to send your official transcript promptly and treat the credit as settled only once it appears on your record.
The equivalency, written Math 1_00 on the advanced standing chart and Math 1-00 on the IB admissions page, is not a course you can enrol in. It is Lakehead's notation for an unspecified first-year mathematics credit. It may reduce an elective requirement, depending on your program's rules, but it does not replace mathematics courses a program lists by number.
What to watch for:
- Per the same policy, "Faculty of Engineering programs are not eligible for Advanced Standing at this time."
- Lakehead caps advanced standing at "a maximum of 3.0FCE" for eligible secondary school coursework, so if you present several qualifying HL subjects, not every listed award may convert.
- SL receives no advanced standing credit, although Analysis and Approaches SL can still satisfy the MHF4U-equivalent admission prerequisite for programs that require it. Details on the Math: Analysis and Approaches SL page.
