Online (Distance) Programs

Students registered in exclusively online (sometimes referred to as 'distance') programs are obligated to declare, for every term they are registered in the online program, where they are while studying. For students pursuing an online program, location while studying is considered along with the fee residency status (i.e. Quebec Resident, Canadian or International) when determining what fees are charged.

The following programs are designed to be offered exclusively online and, with some exceptions, are not offered on one of ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ's campuses:

*: Tuition for these programs is self-funded
**: These programs may also have a on-campus equivalent. Only students in online programs must use Minerva to submit a declaration of location for a registered term
#: Please note that this program has an effective term of Winter 2022. For more information about this program please contact the Desautels Faculty of Management.
Students in all programs above, except those that are self-funded, will pay tuition as follows:
  1. Students studying within the province will be subject to the rates established by the government for in-province students, according to their proven fee residency status.
  2. Students who are located outside Quebec while studying, will be subject to deregulated tuition rates.

Most regular university charges will apply to all students in all online programs, but certain fees may be reduced or eliminated for students located outside the province while studying. For example, the Athletics & Recreation Fee is not charged to students located outside Quebec, and International students located outside Quebec but within Canada may request to opt-in to the International Health Insurance through mcgill.ca/internationalstudents/health.

Online program students must self-declare their location while studying for every term they are registered in the online program, via Minerva under the Student Menu > Location of Study - Online (distance) program. Students are notified by email that the Minerva form for the upcoming term is open and can be accessed for completion. The form opens to all registered students in the above programs on:

  • July 16 Fall term
  • Nov 16 Winter term
  • Mar 16 Summer term
Once a student has declared their location for a given term, they cannot use Minerva to update the information for that term if it should change. To make a change to the declaration:
  • Students in a Continuing Studies program, call 514 398-6200 or email info.conted [at] mcgill.ca.
  • All other students, contact Service Point at mcgill.ca/servicepoint/contact

Students will be asked to support their application for a change in location with appropriate documentation which can include, for example, Quebec Medicare Card, Quebec Driver's License, rental agreement, mail addressed to them at a Quebec address, etc. If the change of location occurs by the last day of classes in the Fall/Winter terms, and August 15th for the Spring/Summer terms, then the change will affect that term. After these dates, a student must wait for the opening of the new term to make the new self-declaration for that term. If the proof cannot be provided by the last day of classes for the term of the requested change, then Enrolment Services reserves the right to refuse the application to make the change.

Where it is determined that a student has falsely declared themselves to be in Quebec, then the University reserves the right to re-assess tuition at the deregulated rates for their program and in addition be subject to the rules contained in the Student Code of Conduct.
