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

Sending Official Transcripts

  • International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or diploma courses

You must ensure that McGill receives your final exam results directly from the IBO

What if my FINAL grades are lower than my projected grades?

If your final results fall below your anticipated results, it is possible that you may receive fewer than 30 credits. In some cases, you will enter the program as a U0 student and your registration will be modified with an academic adviser. Contact the BCom Office for Advising.


Sample Schedules - Coming Soon!

If you are U1, before registering for courses you MUST declare a major. You may change your major at any time in the future.
