A non-refundable application fee of $65 in Canadian or U.S. funds, payable by Visa or MasterCard, is required. This fee includes application for evaluation of transcripts for students requesting Advanced Standing in a program at the time of admission.
ƻԺ's highly secured e-payment service minimizes cardholder risk. Your credit card information is passed instantly to the Moneris payment gateway and is not stored at ƻԺ. Moneris handles 80% of all credit card transactions processed in Canada. ƻԺ cannot process online applications without a valid credit card. If you cannot pay by credit card, you will be required to submit a paper application. In this case, your payment can be made by certified cheque, money order, or debit card.
A notice acknowledging receipt of your application to ƻԺ will be sent to the email address indicated on your application.
This acknowledgment notice will contain a ƻԺ identification number and a PIN that you can subsequently use to log on to Minerva, ƻԺ’s self-service web-based administrative system, at www.mcgill.ca/applying/knowingstatus.
You will be able to check the status of your application, including the receipt of supporting documents, on Minerva.
The following documents must be received before the application can be processed:
Candidates wishing to apply to a graduate program must have a degree (i.e., a bachelor's degree) from a recognized university that is equivalent to an undergraduate degree as approved by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies or the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles. Programs may have additional admission requirements. Please refer to the admission requirements specified in the program description.
The following documents must be received before the application can be processed:
All required supporting documents, including transcripts, statements of Standing, test scores, letters of recommendation, etc. (depending on the program), must reach ƻԺ by the admission deadline date, i.e., June 1 for Fall admission, October 1 for Winter admission and February 1 for Spring admission.
ƻԺ requires official versions of all transcripts and statements of academic standing from schools or other education institutions. Test scores and examination results must also be official. At ƻԺ, “official” signifies that the school, educational institution, or Examination Board, for students who write Advanced-level examinations, sends directly to ƻԺ without intermediary all transcripts, statements of Academic Standing, test scores, and examination results. We do not accept as “official”: copies of documents certified by a notary, commissioner of oaths, Canadian Education Centre, or embassy staff member. We do not make conditional decisions based on unofficial transcripts or statements of Academic Standing.
We recognize that in some countries, it is difficult to arrange for schools to send official transcripts. We also recognize that individuals who no longer reside in the country where they studied face particular challenges in arranging for official documentation. Should this be the case, please communicate this to us in writing and, if warranted, we will consider extending the deadline for document submissions.
For further information, such as the complete list of acceptable documents and the Attestation of Residency form, please contact the Client Services Office at 514-398-6200.
