Questions related to payment schedules and expense eligibility can be sent to Marisa Sgro, Senior Accounts Administrator, Financial Services (marisa.sgro [at] mcgill.ca).

The Office of the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic) manages other administrative matters related to the CRCs, such as reporting, leaves, extensions, and EDI requirements. Any questions related to the administration of a CRC can be sent to crc.provost [at] mcgill.ca.
