Student Registration & Program Information
- U0 and U1 students should review: 1) the new student information section on the Faculty of Science website, 2) the registration information on the McGill Accepted Students page, and 3) the First Year at McGill website.
- U1 students should review the program information in the programs section of our website and follow the suggested registration plans found below (scroll down).
- Students with course exemptions for any required program course(s) (e.g. CHEM 212, MATH 203, etc.) have the option to take a different program course in place of a required course(s) or an elective/Minor program course(s).
- U0 students who are interested in selecting MIMM as their program in U1 or U1 students who must complete the Science Freshman Program requirements in their first year should take note of the program-specific information found on the Science Office for Undergraduate Advising (SOUSA) website when selecting courses.
- Questions on advanced standing/courses exemptions, program selection options or general degree-planning and requirements, should be directed to SOUSA. Students can book a virtual advising session with an advisor by emailing: advisor.science [at] mcgill.ca.
- All B.Sc. students are assigned to a specific SOUSA advisor. This information is available in the student unofficial transcript section in Minerva.
- It is important to review the McGill Registration page for information on how to navigate the registration process in Minerva.
