The mission of the Office of the Dean of Students is to enhance, improve, and promote students’ academic and personal success.
Our job is to listen, learn, advise, and advocate for your best McGill experience.
We’re here to support students in many ways:
- Immediate help: Our case managers support students facing challenges—big or small—and connect them with resources at McGill and in the community.
- Student conduct: We manage the Code of Student Conduct and handle reports of non-academic misconduct.
- Crisis support: We offer expert advice on crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
- Community support: Our Student Affairs Liaisons provide support to McGill’s Jewish and Muslim communities.
- Policy guidance: We advise students and faculty on how to apply McGill’s policies equitably.
- Awards: We oversee the Rhodes and Force AVENIR scholarships.
Confidentiality
The Office of the Dean of Students (ODoS) upholds Quebec privacy legislation, which does not permit any information about a student to be released to any third party without the student’s prior written consent. This includes any member of a student’s family. Emergencies may give rise to exceptions under provincial law. An emergency is defined as a situation in which a student’s health or well-being is seriously at risk.
