While all courses offered at McGill have academic merit, not all are appropriate for credit towards the B.Sc.(Rehabilitation Science); Major in Physical Therapy degree. Students should consult the information on the School’s website at www.mcgill.ca/spot/programs/pt for the regulations governing which courses are open to them.
The rules may change from year to year. Restrictions and approvals are applicable to the current academic year and should not be interpreted as applicable either in the past or in the future.
Minerva will not necessarily prevent students from registering for courses they are not entitled to take. After add/drop period, these courses will be identified on students’ records and flagged for no credit. In some cases, this may happen when records are verified just before graduation, which could delay graduation until appropriate courses are taken.
** Courses not on the list of recommended courses can be taken by a student with the advice of the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator and the P.T. program director.
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.
