PhD - Educational Studies - Current Students

Proof of Citizenship: Incoming students must submit to Service Point all documents to confirm their citizenship. Failure to do this will result in your account being charged international student fees by default: www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments/.

Official Transcripts and Proof of Graduation: Incoming students are required to submit to Enrollment Services official transcripts. Students must ensure that their transcripts read that the degree has been completed (this is considered proof of graduation). If the transcript does not state that the degree has been conferred, students must submit a diploma. A degree completed within Quebec should send internally/electronically. If the degree has been completed outside of Quebec, students can send their sealed envelope to Enrollment Services (address listed in the offer letter). If the said university does not provide an English transcript, a translated and notarized transcript should be provided to the university.

Academic Tutorial: All incoming students must complete the Academic Tutorial (Minerva- Student Tab-Academic Tutorial). Failure to complete this will result in a hold put on the student’s account.

For information on tuition costs and how to pay your account, please see Student Accounts and Service Point (MATL students are charged per-credit).

You can get more information on loans and bursaries at Scholarships and Student Aid (Program Code 10000 and department Code 18000).

To be considered Full-time, students must be registered for 12 credits.

How to add/drop a course:

Students should consult with their supervisor before selecting their Elective courses.

1. Students may look within McGill for electives (Graduate courses are 500 level or higher)

• Minerva> STUDENT> Registration Menu>  Step 2: Search Class Schedule (Select your Term from the dropdown menu (e.g. Winter 2016))
• In the SUBJECT area choose the four letters in the course name (e.g. EDEC, EDPI, EDPE, EDEM, EDER, etc). Scroll down to the bottom and click ‘Get Course Sections’.

Alternately you can search by FACULTY for a complete list:

For 500 level courses:

• Search Faculty of Education for Education courses.
• For subject area courses choose the appropriate faculty i.e. Faculty of Arts for ENGL courses.

*For all 600 level courses and higher you must search under "Graduate Studies"

2. Students may look at other inter-Quebec universities via CREPUQ.

Once departmental approval has been obtained, students can create a request in CREPUQ to take a course at the host institute (i.e. Concordia).  Please note that it is always best to submit your request 3 months ahead of time to allow for processing.

Conditions of Admissions

Students admitted with conditions of admissions must successfully complete these in order to complete program requirements and graduate.  Students can view this in their offer letter. If stated that they must be taken at the undergrad level, students must follow Graduate and Postgraduate Studies policy and obtain a grade B- or higher (if taken at the graduate level, a grade of B- or higher must also be obtained). These courses will be counted towards the student's CGPA in the program and the student will have to pay additional fees (above the 60 credits in the MATL). Students must send the course number, title and description for approval to matl.education [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Conditions%20of%20Admissions%20Request) . It is the student’s responsibility to find courses to satisfy their condition of admissions and to complete them during the program.

Students can view their unofficial transcript in Minerva> STUDENT> Student Records Menu> View Your Unofficial Transcript

Students who have completed all program requirements will be added to the Graduation List upon submission of their thesis to the GPS - Thesis Office.

You can visit the Convocation website for more information on the ceremony.
