Program/academic advising is a collaborative effort between students and advisors designed to help students meet their academic goals and achieve success. The program/academic advisors are part of your Career & Transition Management team, helping you navigate the policies of the School of Continuing Studies and the wider McGill community and connecting you with on-campus resources that empower you to make the most of your McGill experience.
Some of the services offered by program/academic advisors include:
- Guiding your course selections to make sure you meet the requirements of your program
- Offering guidance in planning your credit load and upcoming deadlines
- Helping you manage your academic situation during periods of personal, financial, or medical difficulty
- Providing information about rules, regulations and requirements governing specific programs and/or courses
- Preparation and revision of International Student Study Plans
- Serve as a direct link to other University resources

If you need to speak with a program advisor urgently, we still recommend booking an appointment before coming in-person.
Our program/academic advisors are also available by email. Send your requests and questions to program.advising.scs [at] mcgill.ca. Your request will be answered within 3 – 5 business days (during non-peak periods).
Please note that while advisors and staff can provide guidance with your program selection and general academic support, it remains your responsibility to ensure:
- The completeness and accuracy of your course selection and registration
- Compliance with the program and course requirements
- Observance of the regulations and deadlines
