Why take a writing course?

Writing at the graduate level is challenging. For many students, this will be the first time they've been expected to produce publication-quality scholarship. Take a Graphos writing course to:

• Understand and master the conventions that govern writing in your field.
• Learn the fundamental maneuvers that academic writers employ to craft their arguments.
• Become a skilled self-editor鈥攅ssential for ensuring clarity and coherence.
• Learn to summarize, critique, and situate your work alongside existing scholarship in the field.

Are there costs associated with taking a 1-credit Graphos course?

The University has established a tuition sponsorship arrangement for Graphos 1-credit courses such that 成人VR视频 graduate students in certain degree programs who register for and complete these courses do not have to pay extra tuition or copyright fees.

Eligibility by Program: If you are currently enrolled in a doctoral program or听thesis-based Master鈥檚 program, and you are not in your 'thesis evaluation' term, then you are eligible for tuition sponsorship. If you are in a non-thesis program, you would be responsible for any fees associated with registration in these courses.

Please note that if you are in thesis program but in the听'thesis evaluation' stage, you must register as a "Special Student" in the School of Continuing Studies, and you will be responsible for the fees associated with those categories, along with the fees associated with the Graphos course. Also, if you are considered to be externally-sponsored鈥攖hat is, you have a sponsor outside of 成人VR视频 (e.g., your home country鈥檚 embassy or cultural bureau) to whom your entire tuition bill is sent鈥攖hen your external sponsor will be billed for the cost of the course. If your external sponsor will not pay for these courses, please contact graphos [at] mcgill.ca to see how you might be added to the University's sponsorship.听

Eligibility by Completion: Once you are registered for a course, you must also complete the course鈥攖hat is, you must remain in the course and submit all required assignments in a timely fashion. If you do not submit all required assignments, you will earn a mark of 鈥淛鈥� at the end of the term. In these cases, students initially eligible for sponsorship will have the tuition and copyright fees added back by Student Accounts.

Fall and Winter term add/drop/withdraw rules

If you decide to drop a fall or winter course (no record on your transcript), you must do so before 11:59 pm on the date of the second class meeting. After the add/drop deadline, you can only submit a withdraw request in Minerva and may incur a financial cost. After 11:59 pm of the second class and up to 11:59 pm on the date of the third class, you can 鈥渨ithdraw without financial penalty." You would earn a mark of "W" on your transcript but you would not be responsible for the tuition and copyright fees. After 11:59 pm on the third class and up to 11:59 pm on the fourth class meeting, you can only "withdraw with financial penalty." You would earn a "W" grade on your transcript and be charged the tuition and copyright fees, even if you were initially eligible by program. Graphos courses finish before the end of the regular term, and the University's standard add/drop and withdrawal dates do not apply. Before registering, please consult the section below for more details about Graphos add/drop/withdraw deadlines because these dates are determined by the specific day of the week that the class meets.

Spring/Summer term add/drop/withdraw rules

If you decide to drop a Spring/Summer course, you must do so before 11:59pm on the date of the 2^nd class. The course would then be removed from your record without financial penalty. After the add/drop deadline, i.e., after midnight on the evening of the 2^nd class, you can only withdraw from the course and incur a financial cost. After midnight on the evening of the 2^nd class and before 11:59 pm on the date of the 4^th class, a withdraw request would be considered a 鈥�withdraw with financial penalty.鈥� You would earn a 鈥淲鈥� grade on your transcript, and Student Accounts would charge the tuition and copyright fees, even if you were initially eligible by program.

Graphos courses are classified by the University as "extra to program" and therefore cannot be counted toward any degree requirement, the sole exception being the non-thesis Master's program in Second Language Education, toward which only WCOM 642, WCOM 645, WCOM 661, and WCOM 662 may be counted: since these credits count towards completion of the program, the costs associated with the Graphos courses are included in the tuition bill.

If you are uncertain about your eligibility, please send an email with your 成人VR视频 ID and your program to graphos [at] mcgill.ca.

PLEASE NOTE: Even if you are eligible for sponsorship, tuition and copyright fees will be assessed when you register.听 The amount of the fees will depend on your residency status and your program (thesis or non-thesis). Student Accounts听provides an updated table with Fall / Winter and Spring/Summer听听tuition and copyright fees by residency and program. While charges will appear when you first register for a Graphos course, if you are eligible for the sponsorship, the Graphos tuition and copyright fees will be credited back to you in one to two weeks' time. Any delay is because these charges have to be credited back manually by someone in the Student Accounts office. No action is necessary on your part, though you can confirm if Student Accounts has made the change by viewing the details of your 'Account Summary by Term' (not your e-bill). To access this menu, click on the Student tab in Minerva, click on Student Accounts Menu, find and click on Account Summary by term, then select the term. You should locate the Detail Code for WPPI (in the Description of Grad Writing Course Sponsor Payment) and under Payments/Credits, you can see the amounts that have been credited back.
