THESIS SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE
The School requires students registered in the MSc (Thesis) program to have a supervisory committee comprised of the student's supervisor (or two co-supervisors) plus one additional member who will normally be a full-time member of the School's faculty. Students are advised to work together with their supervisors to establish a thesis supervisory committee within 3 months of starting the program.
Important: Supervisory committee members must respect the University's Policies on Conflict of Interest. See also Recognizing Conflicts.
THESIS SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Important: Note that there are critical deadlines associated with the submission of a thesis.
Students are advised to familiarize themselves of the University's Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of theses several months prior to submission.
Thesis submission is made through myThesis platform MSc and PhD where all required information is provided to students and their supervisor(s).
In brief, students initiate the process by completing an "Intent to submit thesis" approximately 2 months prior to submission. Supervisors must confirm that the suggested external reviewers have agreed before the student enters their names on myThesis. Examiners will then receive an automated invitation and accept/decline. Once the advisory committee agrees that the thesis is ready for submission, the student submits. The thesis will then be reviewed by the GPD for proper content and format. Allow 2 weeks prior to deadline in case the thesis has to be returned to students for corrections and resubmitted.
FAST-TRACK TRANSFER FROM MSc THESIS TO PhD
https://www.mcgill.ca/gps/students/registration/progress/fast-track
The decision to fast-track to PhD should be a shared decision between student and supervisor, and approved by the Committee on Graduate Studies.
Eligibility criteria
Student must:
- be a student in good standing, with a CGPA of 3.5 or higher, for BSc and MSc
- have completed all required courses for the MSc program
- have submitted the written MSc proposal and presented the proposal in Colloquium
- have completed a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 semesters in the MSc program
- have the support of the supervisory committee
- be considered a candidate for competitive external funding: has or will submit a scholarship application to Tri-Council, FRQ, or International agencies (peer-reviewed).
Procedures:
The student should submit the following documents to the GPD:
- A transcript of BSc and MSc studies to date (the unofficial copy from McGill is acceptable; include official copies of transcripts from non-McGill universities that were submitted for application to the MSc program)
- MSc written proposal
- A letter of support from a supervisor which includes information on course work, research plan, including scope of the project and funding information, and evaluation of critical thinking, initiative and potential for success in PhD program
- An email or letter of support from all committee members, confirming progress and potential for research
- A copy of the external funding application that includes a 2-page PhD plan and all requested documents (an additional copy of the transcript is not needed here). If this is not the final one, a good draft of the application is expected.
Note that the committee may require an additional letter from someone outside the supervisory committee who is familiar with the candidate. A special “fast track” application will be opened on Slate for students who wish to apply after their second or third term in the MSc program. There is no application fee. The student will be informed of the decision once the committee has met. Accepted students will be classified as a new PhD student in PhD 2 for the purposes of entrance scholarships.
Deadlines to submit: July 15 or November 15 for entrance in the following semester. A September entrance is most desirable.

BACK-TRACK TRANSFER FROM PhD TO MSc THESIS PROGRAM
Note: in order to backtrack to the MSc thesis Program, students must meet all the entrance criteria for the MSc program.
ADDITIONAL COURSES
Additional courses may be required, such as courses prescribed by the Admissions Committee as a condition of admission into the program, or courses prescribed by the supervisory committee as part of the training program.
THESIS SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE
The School requires students registered in the PhD program to have a supervisory committee comprised of the student's supervisor (or the student's co-supervisors) plus two additional members who will normally be full-time members of the School's faculty.
Students are advised to work together with their supervisors to establish a thesis supervisory committee within 3 months of starting the program.
Important: Supervisory committee members must respect the University's Policies on Conflict of Interest. See also Recognizing Conflicts.
DOCTORAL COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION
All PhD students must take the NUTR 701 Doctoral Comprehensive Examination by the end of the second year of study (PhD3), and must pass the exam to continue in the doctoral program (see PhD Comprehensives Policy). Failure by the student to comply with deadlines will be deemed to be unsatisfactory progress on the Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking Report. A complete copy of the NUTR 701 guidelines and forms (Enrollment; Consent for online SHN comprehensive exam) are available for download.
THESIS SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Important: Note that there are critical deadlines associated with the submission of a thesis.
Students are advised to familiarize themselves of the University's Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of theses several months prior to submission.
Thesis submission is made through myThesis platform MSc and PhD where all required information is provided to students and their supervisor(s).
In brief, students initiate the process by completing an "Intent to submit thesis" approximately 2 months prior to submission. Supervisors must confirm that the suggested external reviewers have agreed before the student enters their names on myThesis. Examiners will then receive an automated invitation and accept/decline. Once the advisory committee agrees that the thesis is ready for submission, the student submits. The thesis will then be reviewed by the GPD for proper content and format. Allow 2 weeks prior to deadline in case the thesis has to be returned to students for corrections and resubmitted.
**MENU BELOW APPLIES TO ALL GRADUATE PROGRAMS**
All students are required to track their thesis progress in accordance to GPS policy; the School uses this form. The completed and signed form (by student and Committee members) is to be uploaded into MyProgress where it will be signed by the Graduate Program Director.
An advisory committee needs to be created within the first 3 months of the student’s program to meet to generate a progress report.
At least one Committee member needs to be from the School, FAES or McGill, to act as a third voice to 1) agree on objectives, 2) be physically present to comment on student progression and 3) to evaluate the student’s work, scope and depth or research.
The student is responsible to organize committee meetings in due time. At the first meeting (by the end of the first semester), the student is expected to present a Master’s Study Plan that includes a research proposal, courses planned and overall timeline for program completion. This should be presented as a short (15-20 min) power point presentation, summarizing a text document to be uploaded in myProgress.
The research proposal may not be the definitive version but an acceptable draft that should include the following sections: 1) background and rationale, 2) study objectives, 3) planned methodology, 4) significance (about 10 pages minimally, double space) plus references. This document should be considered as an evolving document leading to the thesis.
Clear objectives need to be declared by the student and set out to be realistically achieved by the next meeting. These objectives should be approved by the committee to ensure sufficient progress and feasibility. Progress is different for every supervisor and program, this needs to be detailed on an individual basis.
NEW: Masters students are required to hold two meetings with their supervisory committee or project supervisor (MScA Project students), and to submit two progress reports each year, using the above form. Deadlines are May 15 and December 31 each year for reports.
Students enrolled in all graduate programs must complete their studies within the specified time limits of their graduate programs. Additional details are described in the University's Time Limitation Policy.
VACATION:
As per University policies, graduate students and postdocs are normally entitled to vacation leave equivalent to university holidays and an additional total of fifteen (15) working days in the year. Graduate students enrolled in the School's thesis programs must arrange to have their vacation periods approved by their supervisory committee. Requests must be documented by filling out the School's Graduate Student Vacation form, and submitting the signed form to the Graduate Program Coordinator simone.clamann [at] mcgill.ca. Additional information regarding length of vacations, the consequences of taking unapproved or excessive vacations, and other extended times away from graduate studies is available at McGill's Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website, and may include reduction in funding or unsatisfactory progress.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE:
Students are encouraged to investigate the University's policies on Leave of Absence if their circumstances require an extended absence.
Students are asked to review the University's Failure policies, which state in part:
A Student will be withdrawn from the University, if he or she:
1. fails two Courses (i.e. two different Courses, one failed Course plus a failed repeat of the same Course or one failed Course and a failed supplemental exam for that Course); or
2. obtains two unsatisfactory Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking Reports and the academic unit in which the student is registered recommends that he or she be withdrawn; or
3. fails one course, obtains one unsatisfactory Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking Report and the academic unit in which the student is registered recommends that he or she be withdrawn
Important - Course of action in response to a failure in a course: the student is required to inform immediately their supervisor and simone.clamann [at] mcgill.ca in order for the School to file a recommendation. Failure by the student to comply within 30 days will be deemed as unsatisfactory progress and recorded on the Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking Report (see case number 3 above).
MSc and PhD Thesis Failure Policies
> Thesis Examination Failures (for MSc (Thesis) and PhD students)
