Language Policy

The main language of instruction at McGill is English. You have the right to write essays, examinations, and theses in English or in French except in courses where knowledge of a language is one of the objectives of the course.

If you need to improve your English skills, you should take an intensive course in English as a second language before or at the start of your studies. Information concerning second language course offerings can be found through the School of Continuing Studies at www.mcgill.ca/conted/langprg and the French Language Centre at www.mcgill.ca/flc, and in the Programs, Courses and University Regulations > Faculties & Schools > Summer Studies and Programs, Courses and University Regulations > Faculties & Schools > School of Continuing Studies publications (available at www.mcgill.ca/study). There are special language requirements for Faculty of Education students; see the Programs, Courses and University Regulations > Faculties & Schools > Faculty of Education publication.

Changes are made after the publishing of this Calendar. Always check the Class Schedule at www.mcgill.ca/students/courses/calendars for the most up-to-date information. This includes class times, locations and instructors.
