Your departmental advisor will help you with things like course scheduling and registration issues concerning respective departmental courses (i.e. you are a Chemical Engineering student and you are having difficulty registering for one of your Chemical Engineering courses). Your departmental advisor will also need to give approval or process certain requests (i.e. you wish to join the Honours stream in your program, or you need special permission to register in a department鈥檚 course).

A MESC academic advisor can also assist you with course scheduling, but it is always recommended that you speak to your departmental advisor first. A MESC academic advisor can assist you with many different questions, such as exchanges, transfer credit, minors, academic performance, planning your degree, etc.

You can reach a MESC advisor via email at advisor.engineering [at] mcgill.ca

Each department has a dedicated undergraduate coordinator and/or advisor.

In order for an undergraduate student to register for a graduate level course, a request must be submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and forwarded to the Director, Graduate Studies for approval. The student must have a minimum CGPA of 3.2 or equivalent and receive both Departmental and Faculty permission. Students are allowed to take one course only and it will not count toward a graduate degree or diploma in the future. The student must provide a reason why the course is to be taken at this time. An approval form is available at the Student Affairs Office. Please see the Graduate Registration page for more information.

The Unsatisfactory/Satisfactory Option may be used for the following courses only:

• Complementary Studies courses (Group A and Group B)
• Natural Science Complementary Courses in Computer and Software Engineering
• Elective Courses (if applicable)

Please see the SU Option page for more information.

Courses a student chooses to take which lie outside their program may be classified as "extra" - provided the student chooses this option at registration. Extra courses are indicated on the student's transcript, and grades earned in those courses do not affect the GPA. The option will not be added to a student's record after the Add/Drop deadline. Courses that are taken to satisfy the student's engineering program or a Minor cannot be designated as extra. To designate a course as 鈥淓xtra鈥�, please complete a Course Authorization Form, have it signed by your departmental adviser and submit the form to the Student Affairs Office for processing. Please see the Extra Courses page for more information.

Log on to Minerva:

• Select the Student Menu
• Select the Student Records Menu
• Select Request Printed/Official Transcript
• Read through the options on the "Select a Mailing Address" screen to complete your request. (You must click on the "Submit" button to receive your transcripts.) Please see the Transcripts page for more information.

Please see the ServicePoint website for information on requesting official transcripts.

The course you took will appear as the 91社区 equivalent in terms of credits, but the actual grades will not appear and will not be calculated in your GPA. Grades received at another university will never appear on your 91社区 transcript. Please see the Exchange page for more information.

You have not yet completed the core freshman courses for the faculty. The missing requirements do not prevent registration but, if not resolved, will prevent graduation from that faculty. If you believe you did complete the freshman requirements, please come to the Student Affairs Office to resolve the hold. Please see the Courses and Registration page for more information.

The Faculty of Engineering does not remove or alter grades on a student鈥檚 record. Once a student has completed a course, his or her performance becomes a part of their academic record and it is our professional responsibility as a university to maintain the integrity of the official academic record. This is a general policy of the Faculty and also has implications for meeting our accreditation requirements with the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. To discuss possible accommodations for exceptional circumstances that take place during a course (i.e. before writing the final exam), Please contact MESC's Student Affairs Office.

It is possible that you will receive credits from another accredited university towards your 91社区 degree. However, this would only be explored once you are accepted to 91社区 and you accept your offer of admission. Please see the Transfer Credits page for more information.

You must fill out an "Advanced Credit Transfer Form," include the official descriptions of the courses you took outside 91社区, and arrange to have an official transcript sent to our office. Students may be granted credit for courses passed with a grade of C or better at other universities, as long as they are within the number of credits imposed by 91社区's residency requirements and program requirements in some faculties. In general, a maximum of 30 transfer credits may be granted. Students must be in satisfactory standing in order to be granted the transfer credits. Courses with grades of C-, P, and S will not be considered for transfer credits. The letter grades applied by the host institution take precedence over the numerical grades if both are provided. Students should note that a minimum of 60 credits must be completed at 91社区 in order to qualify for a 91社区 degree.

Students must obtain approval from their Student Affairs Office. In some faculties, approval must be obtained from the Student Affairs Office as well as the academic adviser prior to taking the course, especially if the course is taken as part of a student's program requirements.

Grades earned at the host university for transfer courses are not entered on the student's 91社区 transcript and are not included in the calculation of the TGPA or CGPA. For universities outside of Quebec, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that an official transcript is sent from the host institution to the Senior Adviser, Student Affairs Office. Students studying at another Quebec university on an Inter-University Transfer Agreement (IUT) will have their grade(s) sent to 91社区 automatically by the host university. For additional information, please refer to Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement (IUT). Transcripts not received by the appropriate date will be considered for the next graduation period only.

Deadline Dates:鈥疦ewly admitted students:鈥痬ust request the transfer of credits (and grades) within their first term of admission. Transfer credits should be reported by the student/department by November 15th.鈥疪eturning students:鈥疶ransfer credits should be reported by the student/department by November 15th.

Please see the Transfer Credits page for more information.

The Faculty of Engineering will limit the number of transfer credits granted to ensure that students complete a minimum of 60 credits of program-related courses at 91社区, excluding those taken to satisfy the basic science requirements listed under section 8.3.1.2 "Basic Science Requirements for Students Entering from Outside Quebec".
