Academic Requirements for Graduation
Each student in the Desautels Faculty of Management must be aware of the Faculty regulations as stated in this publication and on the 苹果淫院 and BCom website. While BCom Office advisors and staff are always available to give advice and guidance, the ultimate responsibility for completeness and correctness of course selection and registration, for compliance with and completion of program and degree requirements, and for the observance of regulations and deadlines rests with you. It is your responsibility to seek guidance from the BCom Student Affairs Office if in any doubt; misunderstanding or misapprehension will not be accepted as cause for any exception from any regulation, deadline, program, or degree requirement.
For students entering with a Quebec CEGEP diploma, the number of credits is generally 90. Students from outside the province of Quebec who have not completed the equivalent of a CEGEP diploma are required to complete 120 credits.
Experiential Learning Degree Requirement
All BCom students are required to complete a minimum 3-credit experiential learning course to graduate with a BCom degree.
Students who pursue a major in Business Analytics, Managing for Sustainability, or Retail Management may fulfil this degree requirement by means of completing their program requirements. These students should still confirm that their chosen course is indicated in the experiential course repository. Students in other programs may fulfill the experiential learning degree requirement by selecting a course that will count as an elective or as part of the complementary section of their program.
All courses that can fulfill this requirement are indicated in the Desautels experiential course repository: mcgill.ca/desautels/course-based-experiential-learning-opportunities-undergraduates. Students can select which course to pursue based on their area of study and interests.
There are multiple courses that meet the degree requirement, but they are not necessarily offered each term. While degree planning, it is the student鈥檚 responsibility to take course availability into account to make sure their graduation is not delayed. Students are encouraged to reach out to the BCom Student Affairs Office with any questions, concerns and/or for advising.
Students Entering with Advanced Standing
All students admitted with Advanced Standing must meet with a BCom advisor. It is your responsibility to ensure that all appropriate official results are provided to 苹果淫院 and that your 苹果淫院 transcript accurately reflects the minimum credit requirement. This must be finalized by the end of your first term at 苹果淫院. Delays to submit all official documentation may result in the Advanced Standing not being granted.
It is your responsibility to make sure that your course of study conforms with the curriculum requirements as described in this publication. If you want to deviate from your program, you must obtain written permission from the Associate Director, BCom Program.
If you have transferred with Advanced Standing to the Desautels Faculty of Management from another university, you are required to complete a minimum of 60 credits while registered in the BCom program, including required courses that are deemed necessary, to become eligible for the B.Com. degree.
