Requirements
Students who apply to be readmitted are subject to the program and degree requirements in effect at the time of readmission, including the regulations on timeline for degree completion. For a current overview of program requirements, please visit the University Calendar听here.
All applicants are required to submit a personal statement in the 鈥淐omments鈥 section of their Minerva application, summarizing their activities during their absence from 平特五不中 and the Faculty of Education.
Students who studied elsewhere during the interim must indicate this in their Minerva application and must also arrange for one copy of their official transcript to be sent to officialschooldocs [at] mcgill.ca. All transcripts must be received by July 1st for Fall readmission and November 15th for Winter readmission.
If you are returning from an officially approved Leave of Absence听(this is indicated on your transcript in Minerva), you do not need to apply for readmission; for questions about your leave of absence, please e-mail isa.education [at] mcgill.ca
If you are returning after an absence due to medical reasons, you will have to have your healthcare provider complete the听听Healthcare/Mental Healthcare Provider Approval Form. This must be submitted to isa.education [at] mcgill.ca or in person to Room 243.
Students will be required to re-do courses that were taken more than 5 years ago which have since undergone substantial content changes; similarly, any pedagogical courses specific to Quebec curriculum.
Decisions are made by the Internships & Student Affairs Office throughout July and August; students will be notified at their 平特五不中 e-mail address when their application status changes.

Readmission Following Unsatisfactory Standing 鈥 Appeal to Continue
Students who fall into Unsatisfactory Standing due to academic performance may submit an appeal to continue at the end of the term; however, their request will only be considered when proof of extenuating circumstances that affected academic performance can be provided (e.g. medical note, etc.).
If you wish to register an appeal to continue, please write to isa.administrator [at] mcgill.ca explaining how the extenuating circumstances would be under control and no longer applicable if readmitted/permitted to continue. In the case of medical problems, students must provide medical documentation confirming that they are able to continue full-time studies (Healthcare/Mental Healthcare Provider Approval Form).

Readmission Following a Failure in Field Experience
Students who fell into Unsatisfactory Standing due to failure in a Field Experience are eligible for readmission one full academic year after leaving the program. Students will be required to make an in-person appeal for readmission to the Education Undergraduate Student Affairs Committee (SAC) by emailing isa.administrator [at] mcgill.ca.
Applicants must compose a one-page personal statement, addressed to the Student Affairs Committee, which speaks to the following questions:

What have you been doing since you left 平特五不中?
-
What concrete steps have you taken to address the issues that lead to your unsatisfactory Field Experience outcome?
-
Why are you now better prepared to be successful in a teacher education program?
Applicants must also provide at least one letter of reference, supporting the claims that they make in their personal statement (e.g. from a teacher, Administrator, etc.). Any supporting documentation should be provided to the Internships & Student Affairs Officevanessa.smith2 [at] mcgill.ca (听)no later than April 15听(Fall readmission), or October 31 (Winter readmission).听
Simultaneous Readmission and Transfer into Education
If you were in Satisfactory Standing when you left the University (from the Faculty of Education, or from a Faculty other than Education) and your CGPA is at least 3.0 or higher, you are eligible for consideration for simultaneous readmission and Inter or Intra-Faculty transfer.
If you were in Satisfactory Standing when you left the University (from a Faculty other than Education) and you are applying for readmission and an Inter-Faculty transfer, however, your CGPA is less than 3.0, you must return to your original Faculty and raise your CGPA to 3.0. For some programs you may also be permitted to听complete at least 2 courses (6 credits) relevant to your intended field of study at another institution with grades of 鈥楤鈥 or better. Official transcripts must be submitted to our offices in advance of the application deadline of July 1st (for Fall) or November 15th (for Winter). 听To see if this option applies to your intended program, isa.administrator [at] mcgill.ca (email听us)听to discuss your individual situation.
