Registration tips

  • Use BOTH VSB and Minerva when planning your registration. Minerva is where you'll find the most accurate enrolment numbers once registration opens.
  • You need to login to VBS to see instructor and classroom information
  • Using the Advanced Search option in Minerva, you can search for all courses offered by a department or faculty, and also look for courses offered on specific days/times. This can be found under Step 2 of the Registration Menu.
  • For different types of registration issues, see below: 
Environment students trying to register for required ENVR courses:

Please email christina.zhu [at] mcgill.ca (Christina Zhu) for assistance
Environment students trying to register for required courses in other departments:

If you're having difficulty registering for a REQUIRED course, you can contact the department offering the course for assistance (i.e. for GEOG 302, contact the Dept. of Geography; for ECON 313, contact the Dept. of Economics, etc.): 

*Please note that in most departments, registration permits are only given for required courses, not for electives or complementary courses
Non-Environment students trying to register in ENVR courses:
  • If the course is REQUIRED for your program, please email christina.zhu [at] mcgill.ca (Christina Zhu) for assistance
  • If the course is a complementary or elective and you're receiving a "Reserve Closed" error message, that means that all the spaces for students in other programs are currently full. You'll need to keep checking Minerva regularly and throughout the Add/Drop period to see if space opens up
