Welcome to McGill PRO (Pre-Registration Orientation)!
McGill PRO (Pre-Registration Orientation) is a series of workshops to help you navigate course registration and lets you connect with your Academic Advisor face-to-face virtually. Some students are also able to write English and French placement exams as well as meet with an Access Advisor from the Office for Students with Disabilities!
Sessions
PRO programming includes general course registration information, faculty-specific tips (as well as the chance to meet with a Faculty Advisor), placement tests in both English and French, and the chance to meet with an advisor from the Office for Students with Disabilities.
