Mature Students
McGill University has an admissions policy designed for mature candidates (23 years of age or older) who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada and who lack the academic background normally required for admission. A mature applicant is an individual who has not studied previously in a college or university undergraduate program.
For all engineering programs, it is necessary to have successfully completed either a senior high school or CEGEP course in pre-calculus, in functions, and in chemistry and/or physics within the past five years, or to be in the process of completing these courses at the time of application for admission. Admission, if granted, is to a program requiring the completion of an 8-term program.
Architecture has a limited enrolment policy and the available places are offered to those candidates who possess the most outstanding qualifications.
Applicants are urged to consult the Faculty Student Advisor, Student Affairs Office, before making plans for leaving employment in order to pursue studies.
