Does University of Toronto give transfer credit for IB Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation HL?

What to watch for:

• At St. George, half a sequence is worth more in some programs than others. The Economics Major pairs MAT135H1 with MAT136H1 among its accepted options, so a second course remains. But the Human Biology Major asks only for 0.5 credit from MAT130H1 or MAT135H1 or a physics alternative, which this credit meets outright, and the Biology Major lists no calculus requirement at all. Check your own program before assuming you still owe a course.
• At UTM the 1.0 credit is less complete than it looks. The Physics Major accepts neither awarded course: both its enrolment and completion requirements run on MAT135H5, MAT137H5 or MAT157H5 paired with MAT136H5, MAT139H5 or MAT159H5, so the whole two-course sequence is still ahead of you. The Computer Science Major is the reverse trap: your credit does satisfy the first-year calculus for students entering the program in 2026-27 or earlier, but every admission pathway from Fall 2026 requires MAT139H5 or MAT159H5, and that entry rule counts 4.0 U of T credits explicitly excluding transfer credits.
• UTSC's restriction reaches past Computer Science. The UTSC table states these credits cannot be used for admission into any Computer Science program, and the Calendar note on MATA35H3 goes further: "This course will not satisfy the Mathematics requirements for any Program in Computer and Mathematical Sciences, nor will it normally serve as a prerequisite for further courses in Mathematics." If you are aiming at Statistics, Mathematics or Applied Mathematics at UTSC, treat this award as inert for those pathways.
• Setting the credit aside works differently on each campus, and none of it is reversible. In Arts & Science you forfeit through your College Registrar's Office, all credits for the course together, though A&S also lets you take a course that lists your equivalent as an exclusion and still receive degree credit for it, so forfeiting is often unnecessary. UTM does not use the word decline: you mark the credit Extra, which leaves it on your record at zero weight where it may still count toward the Distribution Requirement and in some cases toward program and prerequisite requirements, is open only to students attending university for the first time, covers both half credits, and is due May 31, 2027 for September 2026 admits. UTSC takes a forfeit form until October 31, 2026, again only from students with no prior post-secondary study and again both half credits together. None of it starts until your results arrive directly from the IBO, a July 31, 2026 deadline at both UTM and UTSC.
