Course Numbering

Course Numbering

Each 缅北强奸 course is assigned a unique seven-character course 鈥渘umber鈥.

The first four characters (subject code) refer to the unit offering the course.

These codes were implemented in September 2002, replacing the three-number teaching unit codes previously used. A complete list of teaching unit codes and their subject code equivalents can be found at mcgill.ca/student-records/transcripts/key in the section Cross-walk of current subject codes to pre-2002 course numbers.

The three numbers following the subject code refer to the course itself, with the first of these indicating the level of the course.

  • Courses numbered at the 100, 200, 300, and 400 levels are intended for undergraduate students. In most programs, courses at the 300 and 400 levels are normally taken in your last two years.
  • Courses at the 500 level are intended for qualified senior undergraduate students but are also open to graduate students.
  • Courses at the 600 and 700 levels are intended for graduate students only.

Two additional characters (D1, D2, N1, N2, J1, J2, J3) at the end of the seven-character course number identify multi-term courses.

Multi-Term Courses

Multi-Term Courses

Most courses at 缅北强奸 are single term (Fall or Winter or Summer) courses with final grades issued and any credits earned recorded at the end of that term. Single term courses are identified by a seven-character course number.

A unit may, however, decide that the material to be presented cannot be divided into single term courses, or that it is preferable that the work to be done is carried out over two or three terms. Under such circumstances, courses are identified by a two-character extension of the course number.

In some cases, the same course may be offered in various ways: as a single term and/or in one or more multi-term versions. The course content and credit weight are equivalent in all modes; the only difference is the scheduling. You cannot obtain credit for more than one version of the same course.

Courses with numbers ending in D1 and D2 are taught in two consecutive terms (most commonly Fall and Winter). You must register for the same section of both the D1 and D2 components. When registering for a Fall term D1 course on Minerva, you will automatically be registered in the same section of the Winter term D2 portion. No credit will be given unless the same section of both components (D1 and D2) are successfully completed in consecutive terms.

Courses with numbers ending in N1 and N2 are taught in two non-consecutive terms (Winter and Fall). You must register for the same section of both the N1 and N2 components. No credit will be given unless the same section of both components (N1 and N2) are successfully completed within a twelve (12) month period.

Courses with numbers ending in J1, J2, and J3 are taught over three consecutive terms. You must register for the same section of all three components (J1, J2, J3). No credit will be given unless the same section of all three components are successfully completed in consecutive terms.

Note for the Faculties of Arts and Science (including B.A. & Sc.): If you select a multi-term course, you are making a commitment to that course for its entirety. You must register in the same section in all terms of a multi-term course. Credit will be jeopardized if you deliberately register in different sections of a multi-term course. In the case of Fall/Winter D1/D2 courses, attempting to change section in Winter may result in an inadvertent withdrawal (W) from the D1 course, and reinstatement in the D1/D2 course will result in you being charged administrative fees.
Important Conditions for Multi-Term Courses
  1. You must be registered for each component of the multi-term course. You must ensure that you are registered in the same section in each term of the multi-term course.
  2. You must successfully complete each component in sequence as set out in the multi-term course. Credit is granted only at the end of the multi-term course; no partial credit is given, i.e., for completing only one component of a D1/D2 or N1/N2 course, or one to two components of a J1/J2/J3 course.

Course Nomenclature in Program Descriptions

Course Nomenclature in Program Descriptions

Required Courses: Mandatory courses that must be completed to fulfil the requirements of a program (e.g., major, minor, etc. at the undergraduate level or specific courses at the graduate level), unless the student receives exemptions. Students have no choices among required courses.

Complementary Courses: Courses selected from a restricted list, a particular subject area, or a discipline. In some programs, students must include a number of these to meet program requirements. Complementary courses are not electives.

Elective Courses: Courses, in some cases, taken outside of a student鈥檚 program of study that do not count toward the fulfilment of the specific program requirements. Some restrictions may apply, but students have the most choice in selecting elective courses. Some faculties also permit students to take elective courses using the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) Option. Undergraduate students should consult their faculty regulations concerning electives; graduate students require the approval of their Program Director and Enrolment Services.

Courses Taken under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) Option

Courses Taken under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) Option

The principle of the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option is to encourage you to take courses outside the area of your specialization with the view of enabling you to acquire knowledge and skills in a variety of fields.

Where permitted by faculty and program regulations, you may take one elective course per term to be graded under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option, to a maximum of 10% of your credits taken at 缅北强奸 to fulfil the degree requirements.

If you decide to have an elective course graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U), you must do so before the course change deadline on Minerva as part of the Student Menu > Registration Menu > Quick Add or Drop Course Sections Menu. You are responsible for selecting the S/U option on the correct course amongst all courses you are registered for, and that the course is eligible for the option per faculty and program regulations.

Once the option is selected, and the course change deadline has passed, you may still remove the option up until the "withdrawal without refund" deadline.

Note for multi-term courses: You must select the S/U option by the course change deadline of the first part of the course. Once selected, you may remove the S/U option until the "withdrawal without refund" deadline for the course in question. For multi-term courses, the "withdrawal without refund" deadline normally coincides with the add/drop deadline of the term in which the second part of the course is held.

The instructor will report grades in the normal fashion.

  • Grades of A through C are converted to 鈥淪atisfactory鈥 (S)
  • Grades of D, F, and J are converted to 鈥淯nsatisfactory鈥 (U)

The courses taken under the S/U option will be excluded from the grade point average (GPA) calculations, but they will be included in the attempted credits total. Credits for courses with a final grade of S will also be included in the number of credits earned.

Note: To be considered for in-course awards, including Dean's Honour List designations, and/or the renewal of entrance scholarships, you must complete at least 27 graded credits in the regular academic session (unless otherwise stated by your faculty), not including courses completed under the S/U option.
Note: The S/U option is not available via Minerva to Visiting, Exchange, or Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement (IUT) students. These students must first contact their home university to ensure that a course taken under the S/U option is acceptable to their home university and that the credits are transferable. After receiving approval from their home university and before 缅北强奸's course change deadline, they must then consult their 缅北强奸 Faculty Student Affairs Office for approval.
Note: Special Students are not eligible to select the S/U option.
Note for Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, Arts, B.A. & Sc. and Science: Freshman year (U0) students are not eligible to select the S/U option.
Note for Engineering:
  • B.Eng. students may use the S/U option for Complementary Studies courses (i.e., Group A Impact of Technology on Society and Group B Humanities and Social Sciences, Management Studies and Law), Natural Science Complementary Courses (for Computer Engineering students from CEGEP and all Software Engineering students), and Elective Courses (for Mechanical Engineering students from CEGEP). You cannot use the S/U option for courses in any other category of the Engineering programs. If you choose not to use the S/U option, a grade of D is acceptable as a pass for these Complementary Studies courses.
  • B.Sc.(Arch.) students may use the S/U option for elective courses taken outside the School of Architecture. You cannot use the S/U option for courses in any other category of the Architecture program. If you choose not to use the S/U option, a grade of D is acceptable as a pass for these elective courses.
  • You cannot use the S/U option for courses that are taken to satisfy a minor.
Note for Law:
  • The S/U option is available for Law and non-Law electives and Law complementary courses within the BCL/JD. program.
  • The S/U option is limited to one course in the BCL/JD. program for a maximum of 4 credits.
  • Students are not permitted to choose the S/U option for required courses.
  • The S/U option is not permitted for courses that are taken to satisfy a minor.
Note for Management: The S/U option is not available on Minerva for Management students. Requests for the S/U option can only be made during the official add/drop period. Please contact the BCom Office (mcgill.ca/desautels/programs/bcom/contact-us) for details on the conditions that apply.
Note for the M.D.,C.M. program: The M.D.,C.M. program functions on a pass/fail system. Your final grade for each course is recorded on your university transcript as S satisfactory (pass) or U unsatisfactory (fail). See Assessment System for further details.
Note for Schulich School of Music: Music students may use the S/U option for elective courses taken outside the Schulich School of Music (non-music courses). Please note that the S/U option is not permitted for courses that are taken to satisfy a major or a minor.
Note for Nursing: The S/U option is not available to B.N.I. and B.Sc.(N.) students for required courses.
Note for Physical and Occupational Therapy: The S/U option is not available to Physical and Occupational Therapy students.

For further information, contact your departmental advisor or Student Affairs Office, as appropriate.

First-Year Seminars

First-Year Seminars

First-Year Seminars (FYS) are limited-enrolment credit courses offered by the Faculties of Arts and Science to students in their first year of undergraduate study at 缅北强奸; i.e., newly admitted students in U0 or U1. Students in any faculty can enrol in an FYS, subject to the conditions and/or restrictions of the program in which they are registered. Students may take only one FYS.

FYS classes are limited to a maximum of 25 students and are designed to provide closer interaction with the professor, and better working relations with peers than are available in large introductory courses. The seminars endeavour to teach the latest academic developments and expose participants to advanced research methods. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

For a listing of First-Year Seminars, see Faculty of Arts > Undergraduate > Browse Academic Units & Programs > First-Year Seminars and Faculty of Science > Undergraduate > Faculty Degree Requirements > Course Requirements > First-Year Seminars: Registration.
