Frosh FAQs

All Frosh information can be found on the Frosh registration website. Frosh is run by student organizations and is for new undergraduate students only.  

What is the difference between Orientation and Frosh? 

Orientation is a University-run, multi-day period encompassing all the different events for incoming students hosted by a number of University offices and groups. Frosh is student-run, coordinated by either a club, group, or Faculty/School student association and is primarily comprised of social activities. 

What if my School/Faculty/program doesn’t have a Frosh? 

Every School/Faculty at McGill technically belongs to a Frosh, although your program name may not appear in the title of your Frosh. Here are some of the most common examples we see of this: 

  • Architecture students participate in Engineering Frosh. 

  • Kinesiology (BSc) students participate in Education Frosh. 

  • Nursing students participate in Science Frosh. 

  • Pre-Med or Pre-Dent students participate in Science Frosh. 

  • Social Work and Religious Studies students participate in Arts Frosh. 

Who are Frosh Leaders?

Frosh Leaders are upper-year students who support Frosh activities.  

Frosh Leaders are extensively trained by the University on topics such as consent and responding to disclosures, safety, equity and diversity, accessibility, community-building, communications, and conflict management.
