Sending Official Transcripts

  • Advanced Placement (AP)

You must ensure that McGill receives your final exam results directly from the College Board.

Credits will be officially granted by the admissions office once final official results are received. Students will remain in U0 until credits are granted. Course selection will be finalized at the start of classes—September. You will not be able to register for MGCR courses on your own, so please contact the BCom office for advising help after the AP credits appear on your transcript. Advanced standing is granted for Advanced Placement (AP) examination results of '4' or better, to a maximum of 30 credits.

U0 Students with 3-21 credits of Advanced Standing

Your credits must be indicated on your transcript, or advisors cannot help you register.

For every 3 credits of advanced standing you have been granted, you can request a management core course, space permitting. Email bcom.mgmt [at] mcgill.ca to receive registration permits for courses for which you're not able to get into, providing there is still room. You will need to register for the courses on your own once you have the permit for the course.

You are permitted the following Core Management courses:

  • MGCR 211 Intro to Financial Accounting
  • MGCR 222 Intro to Org Behaviour *
  • MGCR 293 Managerial Economics (after completion of Calculus) *
  • MGCR 352 Principles of Marketing *
  • MGCR 331 Information Technology Mgmt
  • MGCR 382 International Business

*permit already granted, you may register

PRO

CON

  • You can get started on your core courses in your freshman / foundation year
  • You will have to declare a major/concentration/minor sooner and better plan your future studies.
  • Your second year might be challenging to find courses because many courses are restricted to U2, U3 students when you will only be U1. You need to be ready to encounter scheduling challenges in the future and you need to be flexible in taking other courses (ex. electives).
