Q: I am interested in applying to McGill for the January session. I was told, however, that the Faculty of Education does not accept applications for the Winter term. Can I take a few classes in January?

Students interested in taking courses during the winter term in preparation for application for Fall admission can refer to courses offered through the McGill School of Continuing Studies, or courses available at other institutions that could be considered for advanced standing.
