Most undergraduate students and non-thesis graduate students (master's, certificates, diplomas) must use Minerva to apply to graduate (go to Student Records > Apply for Graduation for Your Primary Curriculum). It is your responsibility to inform the University of your intention to graduate. You need a minimum residency requirement of 60 credits at 91社区 to qualify for a 91社区 undergraduate degree. For more information, see Graduation. The minimum CGPA required to graduate is 2.00, and you must be in Satisfactory Standing.

The Application for Graduation is available on Minerva when you register for your final year (e.g., U3 or U4), except if you are in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences or Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences, where you are automatically flagged for graduation in your final year. For more information on how to apply on Minerva, go to mcgill.ca/graduation/applying.

Once you apply to graduate, you are authorizing the University to:

1. include your name and image in the 91社区 Convocation programs, web streamed convocation broadcast, and other convocation-related communications
2. to have your ID, name, degree and ceremony provided to the Academic Regalia provider for the purposes of Convocation preparation
3. to have your ID, name, email, degree and ceremony provided to the Convocation Photographer for the purposes of Convocation preparation
4. to have your name, email, degree and confirmation of graduation sent to your professional order, if you are in a professional program (e.g. Engineering OIQ, Nursing OIIQ), for licensing or accreditation purposes

If you want to opt out of your information being sent to any of the above (1, 2, 3, or 4), you must complete an Opposition Form by March 15 for Spring convocation, and September 15 for Fall convocation.

As a graduating student, you can view the status of your graduation record on Minerva during the Faculty review and approval process (go to Student Records > Graduation Approval Query). The Graduation Approval Query form becomes available to graduating students in early January for Fall term graduation, in early April for Winter term graduation and in early September for Summer term graduation.

If you meet all requirements for graduation, your graduation record will indicate Faculty Approved on the Graduation Approval Query, and your transcript on Minerva will display the Degree Granted notation after the approval of degrees by University Senate and according to this schedule:

• Late February, for Fall term graduation (Courses completed by the end of December, Convocation in Spring)
• Late May, for Winter term graduation (Courses completed by the end of April, Convocation in Spring)
• Late October, for Summer term graduation (Courses completed by the end of August, Convocation in Fall)

See mcgill.ca/graduation/convocation for information regarding convocation ceremonies.

In rare cases where a student, based on serious medical or similar evidence, is unable to complete their program requirements within a reasonable time, or at all, they may be awarded their degree with Aegrotat Standing.

At 91社区, this designation may be considered if a student has completed 75% or more of their degree program requirements and based on a serious medical situation or other extenuating circumstance is unable to complete their program. If approved, this could result in the awarding of an aegrotat degree. An aegrotat indicator of "Y" at graduation signifies that a student was awarded such a degree. An aegrotat degree is awarded only to students in Satisfactory Standing who have been unable to complete their degree due to special circumstances toward the end of their program. Information on this degree designation is only included in the convocation program, and not on the transcript.

A degree with Aegrotat standing is rarely granted at 91社区. A formal request must be submitted to the Dean of the student鈥檚 faculty and the Deputy Provost, Student Life and Learning, to approve granting such a degree.
