Undergraduate Students

Requirements

  • If you're a current undergraduate student at McGill, you don't need to apply to become a Summer Studies student.  Simply register for Summer Studies courses through Minerva, McGill's online student interface.
  • Graduating? Students who have a Winter graduation term on their record and would like to take summer courses just need to complete the Authorization for Change of Program - Graduating Students online form. Graduating students are considered Special Students when applying for Summer Studies.
  • Students who were not registered, or who withdrew in the Winter term and have received a letter of readmission from the Faculty Office, can register for Summer Studies on Minerva.
  • Students owing fees to McGill from previous terms will be denied access to register.

Registration tips

  • Consult the Undergraduate Programs Calendar to check your course and program requirements.
  • For help on how to register and manage your course load, visit Enrolment Services.
  • Minerva opens for registration at 9:00 a.m. on each listed opening registration date. Please keep in mind that there is high traffic on the first day of registration and logging in can take 15-30 minutes.

Change your mind?  Students are responsible for all registered courses. To formally drop a course, use Minerva before the deadline drop date. It is not sufficient to notify the instructor or cease to attend lectures (see Course Drop & Withdrawal for more information).

  • The last day to drop a course in the summer (with refund) is the 4th scheduled class.
  • The last day to withdraw from a course (with no refund) is the 9th scheduled class.
Please note that these deadlines might differ for intensive courses. Please consult the course description for details.
