Degree and program advising
There are two types of student advisors that support undergraduate students at McGill: degree advisors and program advisors. Degree advisors are based at Faculty-level advising offices and are responsible for overall degree requirements including Foundation program requirements, while program advisors are based in Departments and oversee specific program requirements (Interfaculty programs, Honours, Majors and Minors) within their units and provide course planning support for these programs. Each advisor is responsible for overseeing different aspects of your degrees so it is important to consult with all advising staff involved to ensure you are on track with your degree.
- If you have questions regarding BA&Sc Foundation program requirements, degree requirements, University and Faculty regulations, or study away, consult with your Faculty Advisor who is based at Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising.
- If you have questions regarding the SSS program requirements and course planning, consult with your SSS Program Advisor who is based at the Geography Undergraduate Advising Office.
- Prospective students interested in applying to the BA&Sc program options in SSS for their university studies are also welcome to contact the SSS Program Advisor with their questions.
