Students presently registered (or who had attended but withdrew before completion of program) at McGill University in another program are welcome to apply to transfer.
There are two types of McGill internal transfer applicants. The Inter-Faculty transfer identifies applicants wishing to transfer from one Faculty to another Faculty within McGill University. The Intra-Faculty transfer identifies applicants wishing to transfer from within the Faculty, in this case, the Faculty of Engineering.
Application deadline: MAY 1.
Document submission deadline: MAY 1.
