Note: 91社区鈥檚 new Course Catalogue will replace the eCalendar. The Course Catalogue is expected to go live the week of April 22nd. When the new site is published, "mcgill.ca/study" will be redirected to the new Course Catalogue website.
Course information on this site is not reflective of offerings for the 2025鈥�2026 academic year. Some irregularities may occur as we move operations to the incoming Course Catalogue.
All students must comply with the regulations and requirements contained in their Faculty section of this publication.
Students should note that there are no supplemental examinations for Agricultural and Environmental Sciences courses.
For Faculty of Arts specific program and course information, refer to:
Term(s) offered (Fall, Winter, Summer) may appear after the course credit weight to indicate when a course would normally be taught.
All courses have limited enrolment. You may register for and take any course for credit, unless otherwise indicated, in the sections of this publication applicable to the Faculties of Arts and of Science, subject to the course restrictions listed in this section.
Since the registration system is unable to verify whether or not Faculty regulations are respected, it is technically possible to register for courses that may not be credited toward your program. When your record is manually verified, however, any courses taken that break the Faculty or degree regulations will be flagged after the end of course change period as 鈥渘ot for credit鈥�. As a result, your expected date of graduation may be delayed.
Some courses may require special permission. You should consult this publication and/or the well in advance of the course change period to determine if permission is required of the instructor, the department, or the Faculty for any course you want to take.
If you believe that you have valid reasons for taking a course that may not be credited toward your program, you must obtain the permission of the Associate Dean or Director.
Some courses will be available in the evenings only, or will be offered during the Summer term.
Students should give particular notice to prerequisite and corequisite courses and registration for Field Experience courses.
Most courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering, including the School of Architecture, are restricted to Engineering students. Non-Engineering students should obtain permission from a Faculty advisor in the Student Affairs Office, Engineering Student Centre, to register for Engineering courses.
A limited number of School of Architecture (ARCH) courses are open to students not registered in the School. Please refer to individual course descriptions.
The average number of hours per week of course activities is indicated in the course listing in a note underneath the course description. For example, (3-1-5) indicates a course consisting of three lecture hours per week, one hour of tutorial or labs, and five hours of personal study per week.
Courses that you choose to take outside your program may be classified as "extra", provided that you choose this option at the time of registration. The course will be designated as "extra" ("RX" at the time of registration, and "E" once the course is graded) on your transcript, and the grade earned in that course will not be included in your grade point average (GPA) calculation. This option will not be added to your record after the course change (add/drop) deadline. Courses that are taken to satisfy your engineering program requirements or minor requirements cannot be designated as "extra".
You must ensure that you have completed any course prerequisite(s) and/or corequisite(s) before course registration. If you have registered for a course and did not satisfy the prerequisite(s) and/or corequisite(s), the course may be dropped from your record automatically by Minerva.
If you received advanced credit(s)/exemption(s) or passed a placement exam for a course and are blocked from registration because of a prerequisite or corequisite error, you must go to your department/school in order to receive the appropriate permit override.
Management students should give particular notice to the following sections under Desautels Faculty of Management > Undergraduate:
