Transition to University
The transition to university is a big one and you need to be
an active agent in your academic and personal success,
such as by:
• Connect with your Academic Advisor at least once per term
• Familiarizing yourself with the Faculty’s spaces and services (ISA
Office, cafeteria, EdUS/SAPKE/MEdUSA, Career Services, etc.)
• Ask questions and seek help early
• Attend events and workshops offered through the University,
Faculty, and student societies
• Find out about support services offered at McGill, including Peer
Support, Wellness Hub, Scholarships and Student Aid, etc.
Faculty of

McGill is a decentralized University, meaning Faculties and
programs do NOT all operate in the same way.
Be careful about tips/info you hear from peers or alumni:
information may have changed or is not the same for
Education.
It’s always best to check:
