Foundation year

If you are entering university for the first time from a high school system (outside of the Quebec CEGEP system), you will need to complete 30 base credits of courses in your first year (known as a foundation year), before completing the credits that make up your major and any specialization/concentration/option.

McGill students completing their foundation year at the Macdonald Campus benefit from small class sizes and a dedicated foundation year advisor.

The courses you need to register for depend on the degree you have been accepted into, as listed below.
