Students below 18 years of age without a CEGEP diploma (DEC) will not be admitted to a certificate program, nor will they be permitted to take courses.

The language of instruction for most courses and programs at 苹果淫院 is English; however, students may submit any written work that is to be graded in English or French, except in cases where knowledge of the language is one of the objectives of the course. Applicants must demonstrate an adequate level of proficiency in English prior to admission, regardless of citizenship status or country of origin. 苹果淫院 has this language requirement in place to ensure that all students are provided with the opportunity to succeed in their chosen program. In all cases, the University reserves the right to require proof of English proficiency if it is deemed necessary. Below, you will find information on when proof of proficiency is required.

If you answer 鈥測es鈥� to any of the following seven statements, you do NOT necessarily need to provide proof of English proficiency, but must provide documentation to support your answer.

• Have you lived and attended school, for at least four years, in a country where English is the acknowledged primary language?
• Have you completed both Secondary V and a DEC at a French CEGEP in Quebec?
• Have you completed a DEC at an English CEGEP in Quebec, during or later than 2003?
• Have you or will you complete a French Baccalaureate 鈥� Option Internationale (British or American section)?
• Have you or will you complete International Baccalaureate English A with a final result of 5 or better?
• Have you or will you complete the British Curriculum A-Level English with a final grade of C or better?
• Have you completed the British Curriculum GCSE/IGCSE/GCE O-Level English, English Language, English First Language, or English as a Second Language with a final grade of B or better?

If you answered 鈥渘o鈥� to all of the above, but answer 鈥測es鈥� to any of the following questions, you will be asked to provide supporting documentation to this effect and may still be asked to provide proof of English language proficiency.

• Do you consider English to be your mother tongue?
• Have you been attending school, for at least four consecutive years, at an accredited educational institution (in a non-English speaking country) where English is the language of instruction?
• Have you obtained an undergraduate degree from an accredited educational institution where the language of instruction in your program of study was English (minimum three years)?
• Have you obtained a graduate degree from an accredited educational institution where the language of instruction in your program of study was English (minimum two years)?

Integrated English Language and Professional Studies (IELPS) serves to facilitate the joint application to existing programs leading to the Certificate of Proficiency in English (Language and Intercultural Communication), and to one or more of the certificates or diplomas offered by Career and Professional Development. Students applying to their programs of choice through the IELPS will be required to submit only one application for both areas of study. IELPS is available to both local and international students.

Academic Standing Requirements for Special Students

Special Students, although not formally registered in a program, are expected to demonstrate seriousness of academic purpose. Special Students must complete all courses, including corequisite and prerequisite courses, with a grade of C or better. A maximum of three grades below C in any course offered through Career and Professional Development is permitted on the record. In this context, grades below C include the grade of D (a conditional, non-conditional pass), F (a failure), and J (unexcused absence/failed). Special Students are permitted to repeat the same course only once. Special Students who accumulate more than three grades below C in Career and Professional Development and/or whose CGPA falls below 2.0 will not be permitted to register in other courses in Career and Professional Development. Please note that even if a grade is improved by means of repetition of the course(s), the original grade remains on the student鈥檚 record and counts toward the total number of unsatisfactory grades.

In general, certificates offered by Career and Professional Development are comprised of 10 courses. Some programs, however, have corequisite and prerequisite courses that must be completed by the student in order for them to obtain their certificate or diploma.

Students who believe that they have taken the equivalent of one or more of the corequisites to the program, or one or more of the prerequisite courses that are not part of the program to which they have applied, may take an Exemption by Examination test. Students who have failed any of the corequisite courses to the program, or any of the prerequisite courses that are not part of the program to which they have applied, are not eligible to take the Exemption by Examination test.

The Exemption by Examination test is intended for students who do not have the requisite academic background required, but who believe that they have the requisite level of knowledge needed. Students who successfully pass the Exemption by Examination test(s) with a minimum grade of 55% will not have to take the course(s) for which the test(s) was taken. Those who fail the Exemption by Examination test(s) will not be permitted to repeat the test(s); instead, they must enrol in the course(s) for which the particular test was taken. Students will be notified in writing of their test results. Test results are valid for one academic year.

Students may obtain an application form from Client Services or may download one from the following website: www.mcgill.ca/continuingstudies/prospective-students/apply/exemption-examination. An applicant may submit an Exemption by Examination application form to Client Services by mail or in person (no emails or faxes accepted). A CAD$100 (non-refundable) application fee (payable by credit card, debit card, certified cheque, or money order) must accompany the request. Students interested in a list of courses for which the Exemption by Examination test applies should refer to the application form.

Students must inform themselves of University rules and regulations and keep abreast of any changes that may occur. The Academic Regulations section contains important detailed information required by students during their studies at the School of Continuing Studies and should be periodically consulted for modifications.

Students who would like to take the opportunity to meet with an academic adviser may call 514-398-6200 to schedule an appointment during regular business hours. Please note this service is by appointment only.

A minimum grade of C is required in all courses in a program, with the exception that a grade of D will be allowed in one elective course that is not a prerequisite to other courses to be taken in the program.

A maximum of three unsatisfactory grades, excluding supplementals, is permitted on the record. In this context, an unsatisfactory grade is a grade of F, J, or D in compulsory courses, and a grade of F, J, or more than one D in elective courses. Even if an unsatisfactory grade is improved by means of a supplemental examination, where available, the original grade remains on the record and counts toward the total number of unsatisfactory grades.

Students who have more than three unsatisfactory grades on their record will be required to withdraw from the program and will not be permitted to register in other courses or programs in Career and Professional Development.

In order to be eligible for graduation, students must complete all program requirements with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.0, which will be computed over all courses (including supplementals and unsatisfactory grades but excluding corequisite courses) taken in the program. If a student's CGPA falls below 2.0, the student may be asked to withdraw.

Advanced Standing may be granted to students who provide evidence of equivalent credit course(s) completed in other programs at 苹果淫院 or at another university. Students should note that courses taken more than five years ago will not be recognized for Advanced Standing.

Students wishing to apply for advanced standing must complete an Advanced Standing form at the time of admission. Evaluation requests received after this time will not be considered before registration and will be delayed until the following session. Requests will not be considered unless accompanied by all required documentation.

A) Students transferring to 苹果淫院:

Advanced Standing of up to 30% of the courses in any one certificate program may be awarded for successfully completed equivalent study done at another university within the last five years.

Students wishing to transfer from a diploma program to a certificate program will receive Advanced Standing only for those courses in which they obtained the minimum passing grade required in the diploma program.

D) Students admitted to degree or diploma programs after completing a certificate program:

Students who apply for admission to a degree or diploma program after having completed a certificate program may be granted Advanced Standing at the discretion of the Associate Dean of the faculty in which the degree or diploma is offered.

E) Special Students:

Please consult the eCalendar under Faculties & Schools > School of Continuing Studies > Getting Started > Admission requirements > Special Student Status: Undergraduate Courses for more information pertaining to Special Students.

This refers to academic course requirements that may be completed before or concurrently.

Certain programs require specific corequisites. These may be completed after admission to the program.

All our programs are structured to be taken on a part-time basis. Therefore, students are advised to register for no more than two courses per term. If, however, a student with special reason wishes to take a full-time load, the following conditions are applicable:

• A student would be permitted, if the schedule allows it, to register for a full load in the first term.
• If a student then has one failure, the course load will be reduced to three courses in the subsequent term.
• If a student has two failures, the course load would be reduced to two in the subsequent term.
• If a student has three failures, the course load would be reduced to one in the subsequent term and the student would not be permitted any further failures.
• If a student has accumulated four failures, the student will be asked to withdraw.

Information sessions are held throughout the year. This is an opportunity for you to learn more about specific programs and courses and to talk to academic advisers. Members of the Career and Professional Development staff will be available to explain and discuss the requirements of the various programs and courses offered. Academic advisers will be available at these sessions to answer your questions and you will be given the opportunity to meet with industry representatives and instructors. Please call Career and Professional Development at 514-398-1030 for further information.

Admission to certain courses is restricted to students who have reached a certain level of knowledge by having completed other required work.

The prerequisite course(s) or conditions are specified in the course description, see the eCalendar under University Regulations and Resources > Continuing Studies > Registration for Continuing Studies Students > Course Information and Regulations. Students must observe these prerequisites. If you fail to meet the prerequisite requirement, you will be denied permission to register in the course. Students unsure of their status with regard to a prerequisite must inquire at the School of Continuing Studies.

Please consult the eCalendar under Faculties & Schools > School of Continuing Studies > Getting Started > Admission Requirements > Special Student Status: Undergraduate Courses for information pertaining to Special Students.

For a single certificate requiring ten courses (30 credits) the program must be completed within four years of initial registration. For corequisite certificates, the two certificate programs (20 courses, 60 credits) must be completed within eight years of initial registration. Where a certificate program requires more than 10 courses, the time limit will be adjusted accordingly. Time limits will be adjusted accordingly for those students who are granted Advanced Standing or who transfer from one program to another. Students exceeding the time limits may request an extension in writing to the undergraduate adviser. A recommended revision of the program of study must be approved by the Director.

Students who do not register for any course in their program for one year will be required to reapply and meet any new program requirements.

For more information, see the eCalendar under Faculties & Schools > School of Continuing Studies > Getting Started > Admission Requirements > Program Transfers.
