4. All candidates for admission must make arrangements to come to the Macdonald campus for an interview prior to admission to the program.
5. Admission to this program is only in the Fall semester.
6. We strongly encourage incoming students to acquire their driver’s permit (both for cars and farm equipment) before coming to Macdonald campus. This is first for safety reasons, given that students may work with farm equipment during the first semester. As well, most farmers require their employees and trainees (stagiaires) to drive and possess the appropriate driver’s license.

Students in the Farm Management and Technology program must register online using Minerva at www.mcgill.ca/minerva for each semester at ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ.

Attendance in class is compulsory. Students with attendance of less than 80% may not be permitted to write examinations.

Examinations and other work in courses will be graded according to the percentage system. The minimum passing grade in a course is 60%.

When a student's cumulative percent average (CPA) or semestrial percent average (SPA) first drops below 60%, or they fail four or more courses in a semester, withdrawal is advised. Students who choose to remain in the program are on probation.

Students on probation are normally permitted to register for no more than 10 credits per semester. They are not permitted to be on probation for more than one semester unless they obtain an SPA of 70% or higher.

Students who do not raise their CPA to 60% (or obtain an SPA of 70%) while on probation are not permitted to continue. They are required to withdraw from the program for one year. If, after this period, students wish to be readmitted, they must apply in writing to the Director of the program.

The regulations and policies governing student rights and responsibilities at ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ are published jointly by the Dean of Students’ Office and the Secretariat and can be found at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations.

The policy has the following objectives:

• to establish and explain the principles followed in evaluating student learning;
• to describe the means of translating these principles into practice and to establish the required procedures;
• to articulate the appropriate responsibilities of students, instructors, departments, and academic administrators;
• to account to students, parents, universities, and employers for the standards of learning at the campus;
• to create an environment of awareness and free discussion of pedagogical concerns within all segments of the campus community;
• to provide information that will allow students to more fully understand and participate in the educational process;
• to provide the framework within which instructors and academic administrators can exercise their professional judgment in a competent, just, and coherent fashion.

Copies are available in the Library and students are informed of it at registration.
