<p>I am thinking to take some PE classes during the IAP; the 2006 site is <a href="http://student.mit.edu/iap/nc2.html%5B/url%5D">http://student.mit.edu/iap/nc2.html</a></p>
<p>The website classify these activities under "non-credit activities" for 2006 IAP; I just want to know will I get some PE points ("credits"?) if I do participate in these IAP PE classes? What's the maximum PE points I can earn during IAP? Thanks!</p>
<p>You will get PE credit, but you'll have to enter the PE lottery to get into the classes.</p>
<p>You can only officially be lotteried into one PE class during IAP, but you can take (and get credit for) as many as you want, as long as there are spots in the class. Many of the most popular PE classes are really oversubscribed during IAP, and it's really unlikely that you'll be able to pick up, say, aerobics or yoga without being assigned to it in the lottery.</p>
<p>DAPER offers several group</a> exercise classes that cost money, and they're a good way to pick up PE credit during IAP. It sucks that they cost money, but at least you know you'll have a spot, which you wouldn't know before attending a lotteried class.</p>
<p>Along those lines, I'm wondering if I can take any credit classes during IAP, if I'm enrolled in 18.01A over IAP.</p>
<p>Correction: 18.02A (not 18.01A)</p>
<p>The credit limit is 12 units, so you can't take any for-credit activities if you're taking 18.02A.</p>
<p>Actually, I think 18.02A only counts as 6 units towards IAP, because you technically took the other 6 during the Fall, but didn't receive credit for them until the class is completed. If I'm wrong, please correct me.</p>
<p>I just checked my fiance's grade report (heh), and for IAP, it's listed
18.02A 12 U P Calculus II</p>
<p>In the fall term it is listed
18.01A 12 U P Calculus I
18.02A 12 U T Calculus II</p>
<p>So you actually get 24 units for completing 18.01A and 18.02A. :)</p>
<p>Yes, you definately get 24 units for both; but 18.02A only counts as 6 units towards your IAP or Spring limit, since you took 'half' of the class during Fall (you finished all of 18.01A, 12 units, and then started on 18.02A). It totals to 12 for each class, but for the IAP Credit Limit, 18.02A only counts as 6 towards it (or the Spring limit). A somewhat quirky system, but that's how it works.</p>
<p>Just want to make sure: everything in IAP is still pass/no record, right? Can somebody give me a link to mit website that confirm this statement?</p>
<p>also, i tried to register one or two classes for iap but found nothing on the websis; anybody knows the link for iap registration?</p>
<p>I think IAP pre-registration and spring term pre-registration open on the same day, which is usually some time in the vicinity of Drop Date.</p>
<p>As for the pass/no record question, the Academic</a> Guide is always a good place to start when you have academic questions.</p>
<p>It says [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/academic-guide/sec4.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://web.mit.edu/academic-guide/sec4.html]here[/url</a>]

Students completing 8.01L (Physics I) or 18.02A (Calculus), which began in the fall semester, will have 6 units count toward their IAP credit limit for each of those subjects. Similarly, students who have not passed 18.01 (Calculus) in the fall term and take make-up exams during IAP will use 6 of their IAP credits. Therefore, within the credit limit, students can take only two of these three subjects, or one of these subjects and an additional 6 units.<a href="So%20I%20was%20wrong%20and%20Diethylamine%20was%20right,%20sorry">/quote</a></p>

Pass/No Record grading for freshmen extends from first semester through IAP.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Does this apply if we take sophomore standing? I'm not sure when that kicks in.</p>
<p>It looks like sophomore status is considered a second-term thing:
[quote]
An eligible freshman who wishes to declare early sophomore status may do so in the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming (UAAP) on or before Add Date of the second term at MIT. Since this change involves switching from ABC/No Record grading status to letter grades, no request for this change will be approved after the fifth week of the term. The student should carefully consider this decision, as he or she cannot later make a request to revert to freshman status.
[/quote]
Since you don't even request sophomore standing until after Reg Day of your second term, I would assume that P/NR is still in effect for IAP.</p>
<p>Are there any advanced standing exams during IAP?</p>
<p>yep, there are.<br>
i know there are a few physics ones, and a few math ones at least.<br>
simple search @ mit should reveal these.</p>
