Welcome to the Office of the Provost

Prof. Anthony C. Masi is Provost of McGill University.

The Office of the Provost is calling for proposals from all academic staff for non-credit McGillX MOOCs—two of which will be offered starting January 2014 and two or three additional courses to begin in the 2014-2015 academic year. McGillX MOOCs will be developed through the University’s partnership with edX. The Office of the Provost will provide support funded by private donations for the development and production of approved courses. 

Through an affiliation with edX, McGill is part of a consortium of 28 leading institutions from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia dedicated to using innovative technologies to enhance education on their campuses and for a worldwide community of learners.

The Provost oversees and has responsibility for:

ASAP 2012: Achieving Strategic Academic Priorities is the formal statement of McGill University’s academic plan that builds on the successes and addresses remaining gaps identified by Strengths and Aspirations, the 2006 strategic plan. The plan is designed to strengthen what has been accomplished by responding to the economic, political, social and technological changes of the past six years.

On all matters relating to the recruiting, hiring, appointing, conditions of employment, salary, leaves and retirement of academic staff, the Academic Personnel Office (APO) works in tandem with the Provost, the Associate Provost (Academic Staff & Priority Initiatives), the Associate Provost (Faculty Affairs & Resource Allocation), and the Associate Provost (Policies, Procedures & Equity).
