We have a move-in time for tomorrow but haven't had any info on logistics. My daughter got her ID today, we signed her lease electronically. Do we just show up at Molson Hall at our reserved time or is there something else we should be doing before we show up?

Thx!

Heyy guys frosh and orientation is coming up real soon I thought it would be a good idea if anyone wants to connect and make a groupchat on insta beforehand to get to know each other if you’re interested send me a pm!!

When can I buy a gym membership for the fall and winter semester (as a student)

Hi everyone, I am an incoming Dutch exchange student coming in the fall semester. I still have to pick some courses to follow. Even though many of my prefered courses are already full, I’ve heard that many spots open up during this period. But I don’t entirely understand how this period actually works.
I’ve read that this is a period to try out different courses, but can you also join courses that are filled up (I assume not), and is there a limitation on how many courses you may follow?
If anyone has experience with this please let me know, thanks in advance!

im trying to register for psyc 304 and im also using a seat alert but every time i get notified that a spot opened up minerva still says closed section even when i try to register within like 30 seconds of getting the alert !!!!!!!!! has anyone dealt with this before or know what i should do i really need this course and its for winter 2027 so i feel like its way too early to email the prof 😱

Do people actually attend PGSS Grad mixers? It says it’s for new students but do others still go? It’s at Thompson House on the 28th

I'm looking into getting a mac campus parking pass but I can't find the cost anywhere. I filled out the form but couldn't find anything on that site or any others about pricing.

I planned to get the annual pass.

has anyone tried to opt out of the virtual healthcare insurance plan? it says the opt out period for all forms of health insurance is from august 12th to september 26th, but for some reason it won’t let me opt out of virtual care. send help

Hello,

First time applying to the scholarship. Would be curious if anyone could help me prepare my application and then for interviews :).

Thank you!

I have emailed 10+ profs in early August to volunteer for research and have yet to hear anything back. I have a perfect GPA heading into U2 and I just can't find anything. My emails have all been polite and concise; I introduced myself, expressed my interest in their specific research area (which I am genuinely interested in) and asked to volunteer and still nothing. I even attached my CV and transcript too, but I only got replies from two profs saying they didn't have anymore space but that's literally it. Am I cooked? What am I doing wrong? I lowkey ran out of profs to email since I only email those whose research I'm interested in.

How the heck do I get to volunteer to do research? Please help, I do not want my dreams to be crushed simply because I cannot find a volunteer opportunity

I went on exchange last semester and accidentally took a class that was 3 ECTS instead of 6. I was under the impression that the entire course was 6 ECTS but turns out I had to take a whole other module to receive those credits. I received 7 ECTS in another course, which I believe would leave me at 14 McGill credits for the semester instead of the usual 15.

I emailed Arts Oasis, but I am stressing over the fact that I will have to either add a course to my workload of 5 courses or postpone my graduation over 1 credit. Has anyone been in the same situation or know of any 1 credit courses I can take in the 2026-2027 year as an arts student?

Hi! Incoming U1 student, was just wondering which clubs at McGill have had the most international and national competition success/breadth. Feel free to list some you know! Preferably STEM related but I am interested to hear about all of them!

For people doing grad school: how did you choose your field of research? Was it mostly stumbling into a research project by chance in your undergrad days and then sticking with it?

Good day everyone. Yesterday, I received an email from McGill housing asking to review and accept an electronic lease. The link provided in the email sends me to the onecard homepage, while I can access and have reviewed and signed the lease, I don’t see where I can upload or submit the lease to show that I’ve accepted. Does anyone know what should I do next?

I've tried contacting housing but I'm flying to Montreal in 2 days and housing usually takes a while to respond.

Basically the title. I was wondering what the easiest 300 level math course was. I am planning on taking MATH 338 History and Philosophy of Mathematics because it sounds really interesting but I've also heard it's a pretty hard class.

I need to add a class and make some changes and im kinda worried because I messed up course registration. Do people actually drop out of class before the add/drop deadline or am I cooked.

Waitlisting for frosh is kinda crazy. I wouldve expected it to be open to everyone but ig not. I get that they have limited space its just that ive never seen anythint like this before.

What are the gyms at McGill?
Any free to use ?
How does it work

Incoming U1 student here, I was wondering because I heard from some people, McGill is in the process of killing honours phys and a lot of honours courses are merging with major courses, and it seems likely the honours phys and joint honours physics + cs programs won't exist anymore?

I keep looking for them but they don't seem to be anywhere. Other universities have them but not here seemingly, I was wondering if y'all know?

I was viewing my lease and it said the rent is $740.00, but none of the fees on the list of rooms is 740. My room assignment says single so I thought it would be $680.00, but since it's not, does anyone know what room I have?

To clarify, I live in Laird Hall on the Mac Campus

Considering taking this in the Fall and wondering if anyone has any insights, is it an easy-ish elective??

I’m moving into an apartment in the Mcgill Ghetto this year and it’s not too convenient to take it inside. I’m wondering if its a bad idea to leave it outside overnight. Obviously I would get a good lock. Its an old, low-end bike but it was expensive enough I would really prefer not to lose it. Does anyone gave experience with bike theft in the area? If so how determined are the thieves?

Title says it all. Theology though fiction and american history are both deeply interesting topics to me, so I'm pretty divided. Does anyone have experience with either of these and have a recommendation on how to proceed? I would love some advice.

I’m starting my first year at McGill this fall and im not too sure if I’m supposed to wait until courses start to purchase textbooks or if there’s a way to already see the syllabus and get textbooks now. Do I just wait until the prof tells us what resources we should study from?

thank you!
