Updating your address and emergency contact information
It’s important for McGill to have contact info for you in the case of an emergency, so please be sure to complete the Emergency Contact section found under the Personal Menu in Minerva.
To view/update your permanent and mailing addresses and phone numbers:
- Log into Minerva
- Select the Personal Menu
- Click Addresses and Phones
- Select either "Mailing" or "Permanent" from the Type of Address to Insert drop down menu (note: neither an “Alternate Student Billing” nor a “Business/Organization” address constitutes an active address, and hence will not be considered valid).
Note:
- The “Until This Date” field is not mandatory; if you are unsure of the end date for your address, please leave this field empty. Note that you cannot add a new "Mailing" or "Permanent" address without ending your previous address on file. To end your previous address, add a date in the "Until This Date" field.
- Make sure to click "Submit" when entering changes or selecting a "Type of Address to Insert".
- Per Quebec tax regulations, you must have a valid and active mailing address on record in order for you to have access to your Revenu Québec and Revenue Canada tax slips. It is extremely important for you to complete this information in Minerva as soon as possible.
Note: Student employees please see instructions in the ‘Student employees’ tab.
Updating your Social Insurance Number
If this is your first time providing McGill with your Social Insurance Number (SIN) for a scholarship or working on campus:
- Log into Minerva
- Select the Personal Menu
- Select Social Insurance Number (SIN)
- Enter your SIN in the text box
If you need to update or make changes to your SIN:
Students: Email a PDF copy of your SIN to permcode [at] mcgill.ca from your McGill email address with the subject line: [NEW SIN]. Please also include your 9-digit McGill ID number with your email.
Note: Student employees please see instructions in the ‘Student employees’ tab.
