Electives & Conditions of Admission

Electives must be either Education or Concentration related. Students must send the course number, title and description to matl.education [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Elective%20Approval) for departmental approval (NB- TESL and Science and Technology students do not have elective credits to complete. Students in the Mathematics concentration must complete 3 elective credits. Students who were conditionally accepted with the requirement to complete additional courses may use these courses as electives provided that they are at a graduate level 500, 600 or 700 level. Please refer to your offer letter for your conditions).

1. Students may look within McGill for electives (Graduate courses are 500 level or higher)

• Minerva> STUDENT> Registration Menu>  Step 2: Search Class Schedule (Select your Term from the dropdown menu (e.g. Winter 2016))
• In the SUBJECT area choose the four letters in the course name (e.g. EDEC, EDPI, EDPE, EDEM, EDER, etc). Scroll down to the bottom and click ‘Get Course Sections’.

Alternately you can search by FACULTY for a complete list:

For 500 level courses:

• Search Faculty of Education for Education courses.
• For subject area courses choose the appropriate faculty i.e. Faculty of Arts for ENGL courses.

*For all 600 level courses and higher you must search under Graduate Studies

2. Students may look at other inter-Quebec universities via CREPUQ.

Once departmental approval has been obtained, students can create a request in CREPUQ to take a course at the host institute (i.e. Concordia).  Please note that it is always best to submit your request 3 months ahead of time to allow for processing.

3. Students may look at Graduate Exchange Agreement (Inter Canada)

UBC and U of Toronto have an agreement with McGill where students may also take their courses (similar to CREPUQ). You may be charged additional fees as this is out of province. Students interested in this option should email matl.education [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Graduate%20Exchange%20Agreement%20Request) to obtain the appropriate form to complete. Please note that it is always best to submit your request 3 months ahead of time to allow for processing.

Students admitted with conditions of admissions must successfully complete these in order to complete program requirements and graduate.  Students can view this in their offer letter. If stated that they must be taken at the undergrad level, students must follow Graduate and Postgraduate Studies policy and obtain a grade B- or higher (if taken at the graduate level, a grade of B- or higher must also be obtained). These courses will be counted towards the student's CGPA in the program and the student will have to pay additional fees (above the 60 credits in the MATL). Students must send the course number, title and description for approval to matl.education [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Conditions%20of%20Admissions%20Request) . It is the student’s responsibility to find courses to satisfy their condition of admissions and to complete them during the program.
