Q. What happens if I fail a course?
A. Students who receive a failing grade (< 65%) have the following options. (i) Request a re-read of the original exam or assignment. (ii) Request permission from the course instructor to retake the exam or resubmit other course related materials. (iii) Retake the course. (iv) Take a replacement course. If a second failing grade is obtained, students must then withdraw from the program. For additional details about these policies at McGill, see www.mcgill.ca/gps/policies/ . The F grade will be included in the transcript and GPA calculation. The only exception to this is if the mark for the original exam is revised.
