The McGill Community for Lifelong Learning

Part of McGill University's School of Continuing Studies, and designed for retired and semi-retired individuals, MCLL is a non-profit, volunteer-based, vibrant community of lifelong learners.

We offer a diverse range of on line and in-person courses, lectures, workshops, outings and social events. No exams, grades or prerequisites—simply the pure pleasure of learning.

Spring registration opens April 1. The term begins April 14 — plan your season of learning!
