Student Accessibility and Achievement
Student Accessibility and Achievement (formerly known as OSD) helps McGill’s diverse student body achieve their academic goals and overcome barriers by providing not only accommodations for students with documented disabilities but also additional learner support for students facing barriers in university. Academic accommodations are available for students with documented disabilities that may be permanent, temporary, or episodic. Other resources and programs supporting academic achievement are available to all McGill students, from on-demand resources and webinars and a tutor-matching program, to targeted programming focused on teaching academic strategies.
IT Services
IT Services provides computer services and support for all the McGill community. This includes troubleshooting for any problems with: MyCourses, Minerva, McGill Email, Wireless Network, and MyProgress.
Teaching and Learning Services (TLS)
Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) provides instructor support and recognition, facilitates student skills development opportunities, and oversees teaching and learning spaces. TLS supports many facets of teaching at McGill, from the pre-planning stages of course development
up until assessment, course evaluation, and beyond.
Early Alert System/Office of the Dean of Students
The Early Alert System is a simple resource for instructors to express concern for a student experiencing difficulty. Faculty can (anonymously) ask a Case Manager in the Office of the Dean of Students to check-in with any student.
Disciplinary Officer
Any case or suspicion of cheating or plagiarism by a student should be signaled to the Disciplinary Officer of the student’s faculty, as the instructor does not have the authority to apply any sanction. The list of disciplinary officers is available at the website below, along with a link to the Student Code of Conduct. For the Faculty of Science, send an email to discipline.science [at] mcgill.ca with questions or allegations.
Math Pedagogy Discussion Group
This is a group of students and staff from the Math and Stats department who meet every other week to discuss issues of teaching and pedagogy in the mathematical sciences and related fields. This year they are reading the MAA Instructional Practices Guide and may discuss other topics on alternate weeks. Everyone is welcome, including people who have never taught and people who are not currently teaching. You may join the mailing list here (you will need to have McGill's VPN or be on campus), or email rosalie.belanger-rioux [at] mcgill.ca to stay up-to-date on events
