Changing Programs within Selected Faculties

If you are registered in a program in one of the following faculties, you may add or change programs within your faculty using Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva) under the Student Records Menu:

  • Arts
  • Science (see Note 2 below)
  • Bachelor of Arts and Science degree
  • Management (certain programs only)
  • Education (certain programs only)
  • Engineering (certain programs only; see below)

Certain restrictions apply. In all cases, you should consult the appropriate adviser for approval before making any changes and for faculty-specific regulations concerning program changes.

You are not permitted to use Minerva to change your degree (with the exception of Engineering, as below) or to select a program in another faculty or school.

Note for Arts, Science, or B.A. & Sc. freshman programs (97 or more credits): You cannot change your freshman program on Minerva, but may change options within your freshman program where options are available. Once you have been promoted from the freshman year you will be able to change departmental programs using Minerva as outlined in the note below.

To change to a major or honours program in another Science group, students must submit an Intra-Faculty Transfer application; see www.mcgill.ca/students/transfer-readmission.
