McGill Alcohol Permit Procedure

The objective of the policy is to ensure the responsible and safe use of alcohol on campus. In particular, it places full responsibility on both the servers of alcohol and sponsors of events, for the actions of those served, and for respecting University Policies and Provincial Laws. We encourage you to read the documents posted at the bottom of this page (the most important sections have been highlighted).

When planning an event on campus that involves serving or selling of alcohol, a McGill issued Alcohol Permit or a Landlord Letter from the McGill Alcohol Permits Administration Office is required.
