Students are assigned an academic advisor when they first register in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. There is a Chief Advisor, plus three academic advisors for each year. Students should consult their assigned advisor for program and career planning. These advisors rotate each year so that they follow the student through the three-year program.

Returning students (including transfers from other departments) must attend an advising session (date: TBA). These are:

• U0's going to U1 (those completing a freshman program)
• U1's going to U-2
• U2's going to U3

New students from Cegep must attend an advising session held the last week of August (no appointment necessary). Students may register for courses before advising.

All students must bring to their advising session a Minerva course selection form. 

Minerva Course Selection Form

While it is possible to register directly by Minerva, the submission of the course selection form to the departmental Student Affairs Officer (Jennifer DiMassimo, 398-3915, jennifer [dot] dimassimo [at] mcgill [dot] ca (email)) ensures that all program requirements have been completed and that no problems will arise concerning graduation.
