January admission (Winter semester)

Generally speaking, McGill does not admit undergraduate students for the January session (Winter semester). When space and program structure permit, the following applicants may be considered for some programs:

  • Individuals (regardless of citizenship) currently studying in CEGEP in Quebec and completing their DEC requirements by December, or individuals who have obtained the CEGEP DEC and who have not undertaken subsequent study elsewhere.
  • Individuals (regardless of citizenship) who will have an undergraduate degree from a Canadian university at the time of entry and who would like to apply to the Diploma in Environment, the Certificate in Food Science or the Certificate in Ecological Agriculture.
  • Individuals (regardless of citizenship) who will have a McGill degree, and who have not undertaken subsequent study elsewhere, will be eligible to apply as a Special Student or for a second McGill degree. These individuals must contact Service Point directly for detailed instructions on how to apply.

All applicants are expected to fulfill the noted admission requirements.


Programs open for admission in January 2025

Note that the list of open programs is updated in October preceding the January session.
