Winnipeg, MB
Yes, Transfer Credit Available!

MATH 1500 Introduction to Calculus (3) and MATH 1XXX Transfer 1000 Level (3)
Generic Credit: Counts as an elective, but may not replace a mandatory prerequisite for your major.
๐กExpert's Take
Only half of this award is a named course. The first 3 credit hours arrive as MATH 1500 (Introduction to Calculus); the other 3 come in as MATH 1XXX, generic 1000-level Mathematics transfer credit whose use toward a specific program requirement must be confirmed with the receiving faculty or school, as UM's AP & IB approved-courses notes direct.
What to watch for:
- MATH 1500 conflict set. The catalogue entry lists MATH 1500 as equivalent to MATH 1501, 1510, 1520, and 1530, and mutually exclusive with FA 1020, MATH 1010, 1018, 1020, 1191, 1230, 1524, 1525, 1680, and 1690. Accepting this award rules out holding any of those for credit as well.
- Second-calculus is not granted. MATH 1500 is a valid prerequisite for MATH 1700, MATH 1710, and (at a B) MATH 1232, so progression to integral calculus stays open, but the IB SL award itself does not cover that second course. The B.Sc. Mathematics Major requires "C+" in MATH 1232 or "B" in MATH 1700 for entry, and the Mathematics Minor requires MATH 1232 (or 1700/1710 at B), with MATH 1XXX not listed as a substitute. In Preliminary Engineering, "MATH 1500 or MATH 1230 may be taken in lieu of MATH 1510," but MATH 1710 (or 1700/1232) must still be completed separately.
- Claim is per-credit. The Request for University Credit form states "Only credit specifically requested below will be awarded," so a student can list desired AP/IB results while omitting this one.
The AP/IB section of UM's Transfer Credit Information page states "Acceptance of these credits is not compulsory." Students who would rather take MATH 1500 (or MATH 1510) at UM should still submit the request form for any other AP/IB credits they want and simply leave the Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches line off.
