Calculus WPI Retroactive Credit

The following policy is only applicable for undergraduate students.

Students who pass the AB mathematics examination with a “4” or “5” will be awarded advanced placement credit for MA 1021 and MA 1022. Students with a “4” or “5” on the advanced placement BC exam will be awarded advanced placement credit for MA 1021, MA 1022 and MA 1023. Retroactive credit is only possible for MA 1021 and/or MA 1022 via the following pathways. MA 1021 retroactive credit is awarded if a student arrives at WPI prepared to take MA 1022 and successfully passes that course and MA 1023. Retroactive credit is awarded for MA 1021 and MA 1022 if a student arrives at WPI prepared to take MA 1023 and successfully passes that course and MA 1024. Retroactive credit is awarded for MA 1021 and MA 1022 if a student arrives at WPI prepared to take MA 1024 and successfully passes that course and MA 2051. For retroactive credit, MA 1033 is equivalent to MA 1023 and MA 1034 is equivalent to MA 1024. To qualify for retroactive credit, the two WPI courses must be passed on the first attempt by D-term of the student’s first year and the student must have no grades of NR in any course in the MA 1021-1024 sequence in the first year. The courses credited retroactively will be listed by number with an assigned grade of “L” and will count toward the distribution requirement in mathematics.
