Drop Policy for Calculus
Students registered for MATH 161 should know that they can drop down to MATH 141 during the semester, up to one week following the first exam in MATH 161. In most cases, grades received in 161 do not carry over to 141; however, the students should discuss the grading policies with their instructors.
While we discourage students from dropping to 141 later in the semester, it is possible to do so by petitioning the mathematics director of undergraduate studies for approval. If authorized by mathematics, MATH 161 will be deleted from the record when MATH 141 is added.
The same policy applies to dropping from MATH 162 to MATH 142.
Credit
Students who receive credit for any of MATH 141–143, 161–165, or 171–174 will not receive credit for MATH 140A or 141A, or any course in the sequence that precedes one already completed, if taken subsequently.
AP Credit
Students who pass MATH 141 or 161 after receiving AP credit for MATH 161 forfeit that credit. Students who pass MATH 141, 142, and 143 or MATH 161 and 162 after receiving AP credit for MATH 161 and 162 forfeit that credit.
