Course Information
- Please send an email to the ugrad.mathstat [at] mcgill.ca (Math and Stats Department) (only). Students must use their 成人VR视频 email address, include their 成人VR视频 ID number, Program(Major/Minor), Term of course(s) and the CRNs of the lecture/lab/tutorial they are trying to register for.
- Kindly do not send multiple emails as this slows down the process; response time is a minimum of 2-3 business days.
- Please contact the Department that is offering the course.
- You must contact the Department administering the course. Spaces often open in courses during the add/drop period, so if you really want to get into a course, just keep checking on Minerva to see if any seats have become available.
- If you are on the waitlist for a course, do NOT drop the course if you see that places have become available in that course. If you do this, you will lose your place on the waitlist. Any seats that do open in waitlisted courses will be filled by students who are next on the waitlist. When it is your turn to register for the course, you will receive an email (at your 成人VR视频 email address) telling you how much time you have to register. During this time, only you will be able to see available places in the course (other students will not be allowed to register for these open seats).
- It is each student鈥檚 responsibility to create a conflict-free schedule. Conflicts can exist between lectures, between tutorials (or labs), or between lectures and tutorials (or labs). If two lectures conflict and there is only one lecture section for each course, you will have to decide which course is more important to you. If one of these courses has more than one lecture section, it may be possible to switch sections if there is space available. It is a university rule that students are not allowed to register in courses that conflict.

- The MINERVA registration system will not stop or prevent you from registering for two courses/sections at the same time. However, ultimately, it is your decision to do so and at your own risk; but if you do, you will be in violation of this rule and not eligible for any accommodations that might be required to complete both courses (e.g., re-scheduling in-class midterms, final exams, if they conflict). Consequently, if midterm exams, other course activities, or final exams for these courses are scheduled at the same time, professors and/or the Exams Office will not accommodate your conflict request.
- Required courses must be taken to complete specific program requirements.
- Complementary courses also count towards your program requirements; however, you do not have to take all of the complementary courses listed for a specific program. Instead, you must choose a specific number of credits from a list of complementary courses in order to complete program requirements.
- Elective courses are the courses that you take outside of your selected program or programs, in order to reach the 120 credits necessary for obtaining your degree. To know which courses can be used as an elective, please contact your Student Affairs Office - OASIS or SOUSA.
- Where permitted by Faculty and program regulations, you may take one elective course per term to be graded under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option, to a maximum of 10% of your credits taken at 成人VR视频 to fulfil the degree requirements. For more information, see Course Information and Regulations in the eCalendar (scroll down to the section on S/U).
- Please note that the Department of Mathematics & Statistics does not allow any courses towards any program requirement to be taken under the S/U option.
- Students should complete the pre-requisite/co-requisites and if they move forward without it, they do so at their own risk (ie. we will not make accommodations if class test/mid-terms/final exams are scheduled at the same time). Please do not contact us requesting permission to do so.
- Find a supervisor and discuss the topic you wish to pursue in the course. Once this is finalized complete the form (see below).
- Deadline: This form must be submitted at least 5 business days (M-F) before the add-drop deadline of the semester. Instructions will then be sent on how to register for the course.
- Registration: To request permission for MATH 410/470 students will need to complete the form (see below); kindly read the regulations on page 2 of the form. To ensure that everyone can sign the form, a Digital ID will be required (MAC users will have to print/save to pdf in order for the signature to remain visible) from the student, the supervisor(s), and then the course coordinator (among other things). Once all signatures have been obtained, send the form (both pages) to the djivede.kelome [at] mcgill.ca (Chief Advisor) for his review. Incomplete forms will not be accepted. If approved, he will send the completed form to Lori Hurdle for processing.听 She will in turn send you an email with the registration instructions.

- Students can only count MATH 410/MATH 470 once for program requirements. Additional registration will result in e-flagging.
- The course is open to students majoring in Mathematics, or in one of the Joint Major or Liberal programs in mathematics or statistics. It is normally taken by students who have completed two years in their program. In all cases, the topic would be within the grasp of the student. At the end of the semester, the student will be required to write a report, either in the form of a survey article or a research report, and pass a short oral examination on the project. Original research would not be expected.
- The student is first responsible for finding a project supervisor. It is strongly advised to do this well in advance, at the latest during the semester before they intend to take Math 410/MATH 470. The project is then developed in collaboration between the student and the project supervisor who will help identify a co-supervisor. The co-supervisor will read the report, attend the oral presentation, and help the project supervisor determine the final grade. The co-supervisor could be involved in the project as well but this is not required.
- The project supervisor must be a faculty member of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (tenured professors, tenure-track professors, faculty lecturers) or an Associate member of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The co-supervisor could be a post-doc, a visitor, a member of another department of the University, or an Associate member of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
- In situations where the report is not submitted before the end of the semester, a grade of incomplete will be given and be subject to the usual faculty regulations regarding deadlines for clearing the incomplete grade. This grade would be cleared on submission of the report and following the oral examination.
- The project will require substantial independent work by the student. The tasks of assimilating the necessary material, the detailed writing of the report, and the literature searches are the responsibility of the student. The supervisor would meet with the student at intervals during the semester to discuss the progress the student had made. The supervisor will be responsible for having regular meetings with the student and reading preliminary drafts of the report and offering constructive criticism.
- It is not expected that this course will entail any issues relating to ethics, safety, or security that are not of a routine nature.
- Find a supervisor and discuss the topic you wish to pursue in the course. Once this is finalized complete the form (see below).
