It is your responsibility to consult with a faculty adviser in Arts OASIS or the department offering the course as to whether or not credit can be obtained and to be aware of exclusion clauses specified in the course description in this publication. Please refer to the following website for specific information about advanced standing credits and McGill course exemptions: www.mcgill.ca/students/courses/plan/transfer.
