St. John's, NL
Yes, Transfer Credit Available!
Minimum Grade Required
Credit Granted
Mathematics three unspecified credit hours (first year level)
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
HL Math AI does earn credit at Memorial, but only as generic first-year math filler, not as a named calculus course. A score of 4 awards three unspecified first-year credit hours under the official IB transfer credit chart. SL earns no transfer credit; the chart notes it as "academic math for admission purposes (non-Newfoundland and Labrador students)," while the broader IB Diploma admission page accepts Math AI at SL or HL as the required Mathematics subject area for admission.
The award is recorded as "Mathematics three unspecified credit hours (first year level)," meaning it counts as a first-year elective rather than as MATH 1000 or any other named course. It is plausible that it could count toward the Faculty of Science 6-credit-hour Math/Stats core requirement subject to academic-unit advising, but it cannot stand in for the named MATH 1000/1001/1005/1006 prerequisites that majors such as Chemistry, Biology, or Physics impose separately. Per University Regulation 4.4, "the applicability of all transfer credits, whether specified or unspecified, is subject to appropriate program regulations," so program advising should be confirmed before relying on it.
What to watch for:
- IB Math AI students will normally have to write the Mathematics Placement Test (MPT) to register for any first-year MATH or STAT course. AI does not appear on Memorial's Math Criteria Chart and is not listed in the MPT exemptions. IB Math Analysis and Approaches is treated very differently: AA SL with a 4 already satisfies the criteria-chart prerequisite, and on the MPT exemption list either AA SL ≥ 4 or AA HL ≥ 3 (or existing credit for MATH 1090 or 1000) removes the MPT requirement altogether.
- MATH and STAT registration requires both components: an appropriate Grade 12 academic or advanced math credit AND an MPT score or official exemption. Even MATH 1090 has its own prerequisites, so it is not an automatic fallback for students who arrive with only Math AI in their high-school record.
- The MPT is a diagnostic for placement, not a credit-granting test. It does not convert these unspecified hours into MATH 1000; only the Calculus Placement Test (open mainly to students who completed Mathematics 3208 in high school) can award MATH 1000 credit, and any other equivalency change requires Registrar and academic-unit action.
- To trigger any award, the official IB transcript must be sent directly from the International Baccalaureate Organization to Memorial; self-submitted copies are not accepted.
For many students, accepting the three unspecified credit hours simply lightens first-year load by one elective and carries no transcript grade, but whether that is the right call depends on program applicability, degree classification under Calendar §6.14, and any scholarship or course-load conditions. Program-fit questions are best raised with a faculty academic advisor; questions about the status or processing of the award itself go to transfer.credit@mun.ca. Memorial does not publish a self-serve form for declining transfer credit, so any request to refuse the award should be routed through advising and the Registrar.
