    Students who intend to pursue Study Away in the term they are readmitted

    Indicate your intentions in the听Student Comments.

    If your readmission application is approved, you must accept the readmission offer before you can proceed with a听Study Away Application听by the required deadline. Note that Readmission and Study Away are separate applications and approval of Readmission does not guarantee approval of Study Away.

    Students in PROBATIONARY or UNSATISFACTORY standing

    Note: It is highly recommended that you consult the听self-assessment guide听to help you describe your situation and improve your performance if readmitted.

    1) In the听Student Comments听section, answer the following questions (include the questions in your answers):

    1. What extenuating circumstances affected your academic performance? Please describe.
    2. How will you address the challenges you faced and what steps will you take to improve your academic performance?

    2) If you believe your standing decision may change (due to a grade change or the resolution of a 鈥淜鈥� grade), make a note of this in the听Student Comments.

    3) Submit any supporting documents attesting to the extenuating circumstances you experienced (this may include medical or employment letters and/or other relevant documentation).

    How to submit:听Supporting documentation must be sent to听readmission.science [at] mcgill.ca. Include your name and 不良研究所 student ID number in the subject line.

    4) If your unsatisfactory standing was due to medical issues,听you are strongly encouraged to meet with your health care provider to confirm you are ready to resume your studies before seeking readmission.听 As part of your readmission application,听you must provide an official medical note stating that your health allows you to return to your studies.

    How to submit:听Official medical notes must be sent directly from your health care provider to听readmission.science [at] mcgill.ca.听A medical note hand-delivered in an unsealed envelope or a scanned note sent by you is NOT an official note and may not be accepted.

    5) If you have failed a course twice: Normally, students are only permitted to repeat a failed course once. If you need to take a course for a third time, you must obtain permission by submitting an appeal directly to your Degree advisor (by email). Your appeal must state the reason(s) for not passing the course on previous attempts and why you will be able to pass the course on this third and final attempt. You are encouraged to consult the听self-assessment guide听to help you reflect on the steps needed to successfully pass the course.听NOTE: receiving permission to take a course for a third and final time does NOT guarantee readmission.

    听

    Important:

    • Students who are readmitted are required to meet with their Degree Advisor regularly to review the conditions of their readmission and progress throughout the year. If conditions are not met, a future readmission request may be refused.
    • If this is not your first readmission request, additional information may be required. Additional conditions may apply if subsequently readmitted.

    Students who are seeking simultaneous readmission and transfer
    • If you have already completed 84 credits or more, you must provide an explanation of why you are requesting a transfer in the听Student Comments听section.
    • See deadlines for readmission and transfer in Section 6.1.1.
