Please also review the information posted on the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) website regarding registration and orientation. All incoming graduate students must complete a mandatory on-line Academic Integrity Tutorial on Minerva as well as It Takes All of Us: Creating a Campus Community Free of Sexual Violence, a mandatory online learning program that strives to increase awareness of sexual violence by addressing topics like consent, bystander intervention, and supporting survivors.

Please review the following documents in order to assist you with registration and course selection:

• Registration Guide 2023-2024, which sets out the policies and procedures for the graduate programs in law
• 2023-2024 courses and exam schedules (on Law's Student Affairs Office website), which list all 500 and 600 level courses offered in the Faculty of Law

Important note: Graduate students are eligible to register for 500-level courses or higher.

Each year, the Faculty of Law and the Graduate Law Students Association (GLSA) welcome new students and help them get settled in.

We will be in touch over the coming weeks with information concerning welcome and orientation activities, which we anticipate will start during the summer and continue into the fall.

The GLSA has created a Facebook Group for incoming students. Please join in order to connect with current students!

McGill University also provides information and support to welcome graduate students from around the world.

These forms are program-specific; please ensure you are consulting the form that corresponds to your program of study.
