Student rights

McGill has numerous policies that protect students, define appropriate conduct, and lay out steps students can take to seek redress. A selection of policies and other documents that speak to these rights and procedures is listed here. Please consult the McGill Secretariat's directory of Policies and Regulations for a complete list.

For policies related to research conduct, please visit Research Policies.

If you have any questions about student rights, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students.

If you are feeling distressed or are concerned about someone you know and you would like to connect to a case manager for support, please email deanofstudents [at] mcgill.ca (deanofstudents[at]mcgill[dot]ca).

If you or someone else are in immediate danger, please call 911.

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. McGill honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we are located.

For information about some of the Indigenous initiatives at McGill please visit the website for the Office of Indigenous Initiatives.
