Important notice for parents: Cancellation Policy
It is important for parents to understand that when students accept their offer to live in residences, they are making a commitment for a lease under Quebec law for the full academic year. There will be withdrawal penalties for those who choose to terminate their contract. For more information visit Cancellation Policies.
McGill’s Student Housing and Hospitality Services is here to make your student’s university living experience a safe and memorable one. As a parent or family member, the support you provide will help your student succeed in their new home away from home. Here, we’ve compiled key information that will help you to guide your student throughout this transition.
As soon as your student has accepted his/her offer of admission to McGill, we suggest taking the time to familiarize yourself with the step by step guide for newly admitted students. You’ll find information about university orientation, important dates, course registration, life outside of class and much more!
Confidentiality
McGill University upholds Quebec privacy legislation, which does not permit any information about a student to be released to any third party without the student’s prior written consent. This includes instructors, members of a student’s family, and friends. Some emergencies may give rise to exceptions under provincial law. In this case, an emergency is defined as a situation in which a student’s health or well-being is seriously at risk.
Living Off-Campus: we help with that too!
Is your student looking to rent an apartment in Montreal? Off-Campus Housing connects you with all the resources needed. From lease agreements, to tips on how to find a roommate, to where to look for furniture, and much more!
