Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA)
The Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA) provides ongoing advice and guidance on academic issues related to programs, degree requirements, registration, course change, withdrawal, deferred exams, supplemental exams, Academic Standing, inter- and intra-faculty transfer, year or term away, transfer credits, second programs, second degrees, and graduation.
Every student in the B.Sc. degree is assigned an advisor in SOUSA. The advisor’s name appears near the top of the Unofficial Transcript on Minerva. Students can contact their advisor directly or email: advisor.science [at] mcgill.ca.
SOUSA advisors provide assistance with degree planning and are a valuable referral source. They are a good place to start for students who are not certain where to address their questions. They also offer help managing academic situations during periods of personal, financial, or medical problems, by working with students to identify various possibilities and strategies for making informed decisions.
Special requests can be made, in writing, to the Associate Dean, Student Affairs.
The Committee on Student Standing (CSS) will consider appeals of the Associate Dean's decisions. For information about CSS, see the Associate Dean, Student Affairs' assistant.
