*Advanced standing refers to transfer credits applied toward your McGill program, granted for courses/examinations taken at another institution. It can include the German Abitur, the European Baccalaureate, from the Bologna-Signatory Countries, etc. More details on exemptions can be found on the Transfer Credit & Advanced Standing website.

**For certain programs, you will need to take MATH 140, MATH 141 - Calculus 2 and MATH 133. Please refer to our Math Requirements for BCom Students webpage and the Math & Stats Department for more details.


To complete your admission, McGill University needs your final, official transcript (including final marks and confirmation of your graduation)

Building your schedule

Follow these steps to ensure a successful registration:

  • Before registering for courses U1 students MUST declare a major. You may change your major at any time in the future.
  • Build your schedule for both Fall and Winter:
    • Register for mandatory MATH courses based on your credits/exemptions granted upon admission (see pie chart above).
    • As a U1, your first year is dedicated to taking Core courses, to help determine your interest and confirm your specialization.
    • MGCR 233 and MGCR 250 MUST be completed in your first year.
    • MGCR 271/MGCR 341 and MGCR 293/MGCR 294 are corequisite courses. They can be taken together in the same term, or separately in different terms where MGCR 271 and MGCR 293 must be completed first.
    • There are many sections offered for our Core courses and they are interchangeable between terms.
  • A typical full-time course load is 12-15 credits per semester. Scholarship/awards may require more. Review our Course Load information.
  • To lighten your course load, you can start by registering for 12 credits, or you can opt to take a non-management elective or a Minor course, instead of a Core course. But you must be mindful of your credit allocation and requirements for your degree (see pie chart above).

Important Notes:

  • Students interested in our HIM program must complete MGCR 211, MGCR 271 and MGCR 341 in their first year, to be eligible to apply.
  • Students pursuing the Major in Economics must replace MGCR 293 with ECON 230D1/D2 and MGCR 294 with ECON 332 & ECON 333 (taken in 2nd year). Meet with a BCom advisor and an Economics advisor for more details.
  • Students pursuing the Major in International Management should start their Language Component in their first year.
  • If you've taken university-level courses prior to joining McGill and are expecting credits/exemptions, DO NOT register for the same courses offered at McGill. Please contact the BCom office for assistance with your registration.
