91社区

All students who miss a final exam or do not complete other final work in a course are given a J grade. You then have the following options:

1. Ask to be assigned a grade based only on the grades earned for your work submitted up to, but not including, the final exam or final course work.

   The grade earned is calculated by adding the grades obtained on the individual pieces of work and a grade of 0 for the portion of the final grade allocated to the final exam or final course work. This option is not available if the professor stipulated in the course outline that the final exam is a required part of the evaluation.

2. Request a deferred exam, if you have the appropriate reasons and documentation.
3. Apply for a supplemental exam if permitted by your faculty.

You must request option 1 no later than four months after the end of the examination period of the original course.

You must request option 2 by the faculty deadlines as indicated in University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Examinations: General Information > Final Examinations > Final Examinations: Deferred Examinations.

You must request option 3 by the faculty deadlines as indicated at mcgill.ca/exams.

If you wish to appeal a J grade, you should write to your Associate Dean or Director.

The University sends statements of account and all other correspondence directly to students. You retain full control over who has access to your records or accounts; however, officers and members of the University staff also have access to relevant parts of your records for recognized and legitimate use. The University does not send progress reports or any other information to your parents and/or sponsors unless you specifically request it in writing.

A 91社区 transcript includes all attempted work and final grades obtained in any and all programs. The University does not issue partial transcripts under any circumstances.

The University issues official transcripts in electronic or paper format. Requests for both electronic official (eTranscripts) and paper transcripts are submitted in Minerva.

eTranscript PDFs are sent the same-day in as little as 15 minutes (providing there are no holds on your student account and no attachments to review) via the National Student Clearing House, a US-based non-profit organization and leading provider of trusted, educational data exchange and verification services. A minimal service fee applies.

Paper official transcripts are normally processed in 3 to 5 working days (5 to 7 during peak periods) and mailed by regular Canada Post mail to the address(es) indicated on the request. Paper transcripts are free of charge for currently registered students. Transcript fees apply for alumni and former students. Requests for archived transcripts (pre-1972) have a longer processing time.

Paper official transcripts are printed on secure paper that cannot be copied. eTranscripts are digitally signed and certified PDF documents that cannot be copied.

For more information on requesting official transcripts, refer to Official Transcripts.

Note: The University may not be held responsible for the loss or delay of transcripts in the mail.

Note: You cannot submit a transcript request in Minerva if you have holds on your record (e.g., accounting, registrar, library, etc.). Please verify the top of your unofficial transcript in Minerva for any holds.

If you require a copy of your student record, access Minerva (mcgill.ca/minerva) to view and print an unofficial transcript. This applies to records from 1976 to the present. For pre-1976 records, your transcript is archived and you must order an official transcript. See Official Transcripts.

For more information on transcripts, applicable costs, delivery method, and processing time, see mcgill.ca/student-records/transcripts.

Currently Registered Students: Use Minerva to order an official transcript at Student Menu > Student Records Menu > Request/Official Transcript.

Alumni or former students who were registered or graduated as of 1972 or later: You must submit your request in Minerva at Student Menu > Student Records Menu > Request/Official Transcript and will require login credentials. Please contact the IT Service Desk () to obtain your 91社区 ID & Minerva PIN.

Alumni or former students who were registered or graduated prior to 1972 (archived records): You must submit an online Request for Archived Official Transcript located at: mcgill.ca/student-records/transcripts/printed-transcripts and will be required to provide a copy of a government-issued Photo ID.

Prior to September 2002, course numbers had seven-character designations beginning with a three-number code indicating the teaching unit/department. The next three digits specified the course, with the first of these indicating its level. The final character was a letter indicating the term, or terms, during which the course was offered. For example:

• 107-200A = Philosophy (107) course (200) in Fall term (A);
• 301-202B = Architecture (301) course (202) in Winter term (B);
• 154-230D = Economics (154) course (230) extending for two terms, Fall and Winter (D).

A list of the former teaching unit codes and their subject code equivalents is available at mcgill.ca/student-records/transcripts/key.

For information on our current course numbering, see University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Registration > Course Information and Regulations > Course Numbering.
