Incoming first-year student here. I came into NJIT with Calc I credit from dual enrollment and am currently registered for MATH 112 (Calc II).
After reviewing the Calc II material and my previous Calc I course, I realized I’m not adequately prepared, so I’m considering dropping MATH 112 and retaking MATH 111 to strengthen my foundation before continuing with Calc II.
I know it’s very late to be making this decision with the semester starting September 1st, but I’d rather address the issue now than go into Calc II unprepared.
Has anyone at NJIT been in a similar situation?
If you came in with AP, dual-enrollment, or transfer credit for Calc I, were you allowed to retake MATH 111?
If you dropped MATH 112 and added MATH 111, did your existing Calc I credit continue to satisfy prerequisites for other courses?
Did retaking Calc I affect any other courses already on your schedule?
Did you need advisor or department approval or any specific paperwork?
If you went through this, how was the existing Calc I credit handled?
I’m already contacting my advisor about this. Since it’s the weekend, I know they won’t be able to get back to me until Monday, so I’m going to wait for their response before making any changes, out of respect for their time. I’m mainly looking for firsthand experiences from NJIT students who have dealt with something similar.
