Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement: Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Students

Revision, February 2012. Start of revision.

The Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement permits concurrent registration at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and another Quebec institution.

If you are a regular Æ»¹ûÒùÔº undergraduate or graduate degree, diploma, or certificate student, you may register, with your faculty's permission, at any Quebec university for three, or in some cases six, credits per term in addition to your registration at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº. You may also obtain permission to complete a full term (i.e., 12 to 15 credits) at another Quebec university. These courses, subject to faculty regulations, will be recognized by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº for the degree that you are registered for, up to the limit imposed by the residency requirements of the program. Normally, you must complete a minimum residency requirement of 60 credits at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº in order to qualify for a Æ»¹ûÒùÔº degree (you should check with your faculty). This privilege will be granted if there are valid academic reasons.

If you want to take advantage of this agreement, consult your Student Affairs Office for details. Note that this agreement is subject to the following conditions:

  • The Quebec universities concerned may, at their discretion, refuse the registration of a student for any of their courses.
  • You must complete your faculty and program requirements.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Class Schedule permits you to take these courses without conflict.
  • The Quebec universities concerned are not responsible for special arrangements in cases of examination or class schedule conflicts.
  • Grades earned at the host university will not be included in your Æ»¹ûÒùÔº grade point averages (GPA) or show on your Æ»¹ûÒùÔº transcripts.
  • If you are attending Æ»¹ûÒùÔº as an Exchange student from outside Quebec, you are not eligible to take courses at another Quebec institution through the IUT agreement.
  • Any grades received late from host universities may delay your graduation.

If you are a scholarship holder, you should consult with your Student Affairs Office and the scholarships coordinator concerning eligibility for continuation or renewal of your award(s).

You must initiate an online Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) application to request the required authorizations at www.mcgill.ca/students/transfercredit/current/iut. You may find additional information posted at your faculty website.

Note: Once the Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) application is approved by both the home and host universities, you must register in the course that was approved. The method of registration of the host university will vary (e.g., web, in-person, phone, etc.). You must allow sufficient time to complete and submit your electronic application, because you are responsible for adhering to all the host university's registration deadlines. If you decide later to drop or withdraw from the approved course(s), you will need to drop or withdraw from the course using the host university's registration method AND submit this change on the online Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) application.

The host institution will automatically submit your grades to Æ»¹ûÒùÔº for any completed courses.
