To complete your admission, McGill University needs your final, official transcript (including final marks and confirmation of your graduation)

Sending Official Transcripts

What if my FINAL grades are lower than my projected grades?

If your final results fall below your anticipated results, it is possible that you may receive fewer than 30 credits. In some cases, you will enter the program as a U0 student and your registration will be modified with an academic adviser. Contact the BCom Office for Advising.


Sample schedules

Students receiving at least 24 credits

You will be permitted to register as a U1 student for the courses in the Management Core curriculum, based on the results of these examinations. The Faculty of Management grants a maximum of 30 credits for Advanced Level or Advanced Subsidiary Level or CAPE Unit 1 and/or 2 examinations.

  • Before registering for courses you MUST declare a major. You may change your major at any time in the future.
  • All students are required to take a CALCULUS course and a LINEAR ALGEBRA course if they have not been granted these courses upon admission. Consult our page Math Requirements for BCom Students.
  • Student pursuing the Major in Economics must replace MGCR 293 and ECON 295 with ECON 230 and ECON 330 (taken in 2nd year) respectively.
  • Student pursuing the Major in International Management should start their Language Component in their first year.

Students receiving less than 24 credits

If the official transcript indicates you have not received at least 24 credits, you would then be required to follow the 120-Credit First Year Program. Depending on the number of credits you get from A-Levels, you may be permitted to register in Management Core courses instead of U0 year courses with the assistance of an advisor in the BCom Office.
