MATH 1000 (Calculus I)
π‘Expert's Take
HL with a 5 earns a named equivalency to MATH 1000 (Calculus I), the strongest Math AA transfer outcome at Memorial. A specific first-year course is awarded, which clears 3 credit hours and unlocks MATH 1001 (Calculus II) directly, since MATH 1000 is its prerequisite (per the official IB transfer credit chart).
The credit counts toward Memorial's limit of 9 credit hours at the 1000 level in Mathematics (excluding MATH 1001), so it consumes a slot in that allowance rather than adding unrestricted elective space. SL Math AA carries no transfer credit but is recognized on the math criteria chart as a prerequisite route into MATH 1000, MATH 1005, MATH 1006, STAT 1500, and STAT 2500 with a score of 4 or higher, so SL students can still register for first-year math without remedial placement.
What to watch for:
- An HL 4 yields no credit. The published threshold is 5.
- The IB chart row has no campus split, so the award applies at both St. John's and Grenfell. The "campus you are attending" rule applies only to subjects where the chart lists separate equivalencies for both campuses.
- For Engineering applicants, the IB chart's HL 5 award still applies, and SL Math with a 4 separately allows registration in MATH 1000 even though no credit is granted.
- Engineering students with the HL credit still face Engineering One promotion rules. The nine EO courses (ENGI 1010, 1020, 1030, 1050; MATH 1001 and MATH 2050; PHYS 1051; CHEM 1050; and 3 credit hours of English at the 1000 level or a Critical Reading and Writing course) must each be passed at 55% or held by transfer credit, with a 65% promotion average across the nine, and at least 15 of those credit hours must be completed at Memorial. The EO Faculty page adds a 50% floor in MATH 1000 and PHYS 1050. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee promotion: averages below 80% advance only as Faculty capacity permits, only an 80% or higher average guarantees a preferred major, EO must be completed within two academic years, and failing any EO course more than once results in withdrawal from the program.
- Posted credit depends on documentation: Memorial requires the official IB transcript sent directly from the International Baccalaureate Organization, and the Office of the Registrar states transfer credit evaluation will not begin until official transcripts are received.
Strong HL Math AA students aiming at math-heavy programs (engineering, science, joint math/physics) should plan to use the credit and proceed into Calculus II. SL students cannot transfer credit but can use the score-4 route to register directly into MATH 1000. Send the IB transcript directly from the IBO before registration to avoid posting delays. For evaluation status questions email transfer.credit@mun.ca; for how the credit applies to a specific program, including substitution or degree-audit questions, contact an academic advisor or advice@mun.ca.
