Course Selection
Course descriptions for all faculties can be found at mcgill.ca/study/courses/search. We also encourage you to check mcgill.ca/summer/courseselection; in addition to descriptions for all courses, includes the days and times when courses are offered, names of instructors, class location, and remarks and comments. This information is subject to change and is updated as courses are added, rescheduled, or relocated. It is your responsibility to consult the Class Schedule on Minerva at the time of registration, and again before classes begin to ensure that changes have not resulted in conflicts in your schedule.
Students should pay close attention to the following in the Class Schedule and in this publication:
- course restrictions: departmental approval required, permission from the instructor required, enrolment limited, enrolment reserved for students in a particular program or year, etc.;
- course prerequisites and/or corequisites: students must have completed all prerequisites for a course with a grade of C or better to be eligible to register for that course;
- time at which each course section is given: do not register for course sections that have a time overlap;
- placement examination required: this is specified in the course description.
If you are currently a ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ student, please consult the Undergraduate eCalendar at mcgill.ca/study to check your course requirements and program requirements and consult your faculty Student Affairs Office for a list of Summer courses that are admissible for credit toward your degree. Other courses may be taken but may not count toward your degree requirements.
Departmental Approval
Departmental Approval
Some courses require that you first obtain departmental approval from the department offering the course before registering (for Education courses, contact the Student Affairs Office, Faculty of Education).

Since enrolment in these courses is on a first-come, first-served basis, you should register on Minerva as soon as you have the department's approval.
