Downtown to Mac Campus course equivalencies

The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences recognizes the following equivalencies between McGill courses offered on the Downtown Campus and the Macdonald Campus. If you are a student in our faculty, these courses will automatically be considered equivalent with no action required.

If you are taking a minor or second major in another faculty, or you are a student in another faculty, you must check these equivalencies with your academic advisor in that faculty.

To evaluate the equivalency of any other course taken on the Downtown Campus to a Macdonald Campus course:

  1. Fill in the course equivalency application form and provide it to the instructor of the Macdonald Campus course alongside a detailed course outline of the course taken downtown. Ask them to evaluate the equivalency and sign the form if they approve.
  2. Get the form signed by your program's academic advisor.
  3. Send the completed form to saoadvisor.macdonald [at] mcgill.ca for final review and processing.
