We manage the Code of Student Conduct and handle reports of non-academic misconduct.
Crisis support
We offer expert advice on crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
Community support
Our Student Affairs Liaisons provide support to McGill’s Jewish and Muslim communities.
Policy guidance
We advise students and faculty on how to apply McGill’s policies equitably.
Awards
We oversee the Rhodes and Forces AVENIR scholarships and two awards for staff and faculty.
Upcoming
Join the McGill Visual Arts Collection and the Student Affairs Liaison for Jewish Students for a special guided tour focused on the Jewish Painters of Montreal, a remarkable group of artists who helped shape the city’s cultural identity in the mid-twentieth century.
Confidentiality
The Office of the Dean of Students (ODoS) upholds Quebec privacy legislation, which does not permit any information about a student to be released to any third party without the student’s prior written consent. This includes instructors, members of a student’s family, and friends. Some emergencies may give rise to exceptions under provincial law. In this case, an emergency is defined as a situation in which a student’s health or well-being is seriously at risk.
