Independent Study Away applicants: Effective Summer 2025, the Independent Study Away (ISA) option for students in the BA, BSW or BTh degrees will be strictly limited to approved institutions located in Canada. Arts OASIS will no longer be approving - nor authorizing transfer credits – for requests to enroll in courses at institutions abroad, regardless of whether those institutions are in regions which are “home” to students.
Study Away - refers to any program that allows you to earn credits towards your McGill degree by taking courses at another university.
Make sure to plan and prepare before applying.
Take the necessary steps to have courses taken outside McGill credited to your McGill degree. Refer to Transferring credit.
