Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA)

Students in the B.Sc. and B.A. & Sc. degrees have access to two types of academic advisors: Degree advisors and Program advisors.  Only Degree advisors are housed in SOUSA.  Program advisors are housed in their respective Departments/Units (e.g. the Biology Department or the Geography Department).  Which type of advisor should you talk to? Consult our Academic Advising website.

Please note that Degree advisors in SOUSA CANNOT help with:

  • Courses that are full or restricted: Registration for a course is controlled by the Department that offer the course. SOUSA advisors cannot help you register for a course that is full or restricted, you must contact the Department offering the course.
  • Questions about admissions or tuition: Admission to McGill and payment of tuition fees is handled by Enrolment Services.

Booking an appointment your Degree advisor

Individual advising sessions are available on a first-come first-served basis. Please email advisor.science [at] mcgill.ca to get links for your advisor's booking pages, where you can book your own in-person or online session. Sessions are offered on weekdays during regular office hours (Montreal time), and can only be booked a maximum of 2 days in advance.

Be sure to:

  • Use your McGill email account
  • Include your ID number
  • Include the name of your assigned advisor (this can be found on your Minerva transcript)

You can also email your SOUSA advisor with questions and they will respond as quickly as possible. If you are a newly accepted student, you will receive your assigned advisor's contact information over the summer (in the meantime, please email newstudentadvising.science [at] mcgill.ca).

Note that during the Graduation review period (end of May) and the Add/Drop period (start of each term), we receive a high volume of emails and appointment requests. Please expect longer wait times and avoid sending multiple emails. We appreciate your patience and will do our utmost to respond to inquiries as quickly as possible.
