Welcome to ARTS OASIS

Our office provides advice and support to undergraduate Arts students regarding their academic trajectory, from entry to graduation. 

Visit our Advising Services webpage to book an in-person or virtual appointment.
- Use one means of communication only (submit a request via Arts OASIS Service Portal or virtual drop-in) to help us avoid duplicating work.
- Sending duplicate correspondence will not result in a quicker response time.

You can also use the health and wellness services available for students and other remote support such as Keep Me Safe and Maple.

McGill University is situated on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka, a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations. We recognize and respect the Kanien’kehà:ka as the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which we meet today.
