For more information on our financial aid programs, please consult 看片视频's听Scholarships and Student Aid web site.

Candidates may be admitted to the BCL/JD on different conditions. In some cases, candidates may be asked to meet two conditions (completion of their degree program and French language instruction. Please see below for details). Whatever the condition, it must be completed before the end of the registration period (end of August).

List of conditions commonly used:

1. Completion of a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DCS) for CEGEP candidates or completion of the French Baccalaureate, for candidates coming from Marie-de-France and Stanislas.
2. Completion of intensive French language instruction at the High Intermediate level. See the听鈥楻eview French Requirement鈥櫶齮ab below for detailed information.
3. Completion of the undergraduate degree program represented in the admission application. As explained in your letter of admission, in order to secure your admission to our program, you must complete the necessary requirements of the undergraduate degree that you are in the process of completing. A letter from your academic department or a final transcript attesting to such completion is required before you begin the law program.
4. Maintain your current cumulative GPA.
5. Complete the necessary requirements to obtain a graduate degree for candidates registered in a graduate program. As explained in your letter of admission, in order to secure your admission to our program, you must complete the necessary requirements of the graduate degree that you are in the process of completing. The graduate degree could be a master or a doctorate program.

By 鈥渃ompleting the necessary requirements to obtain your graduate degree鈥�, we intend for you to have:

• successfully completed all necessary course requirements, AND
• written and submitted the complete version of your thesis to the graduate studies office, or relevant university department (if your graduate program is one with a thesis), OR
• successfully completed all internship, essay or other requirements of your program.

Before the end of the registration period (end of August), we do not necessarily require you to:

• have successfully passed your oral defense, where applicable, OR
• submit a final transcript indicating the actual date of graduation with your graduate degree.

We would accept that these last steps be completed after the end of registration period.

A letter from your academic department or a final transcript attesting to program completion is required before you begin the BCL/JD Program.

These guidelines reflect the structure of most graduate programs. It is your responsibility to ensure you fulfill your condition(s) of admission to the Faculty of Law.

Why have you been admitted with a condition?

Our BCL/JD Program is a full-time program of study. Due to the demanding nature of first year in particular, the Faculty must be satisfied that you will devote your time to succeeding in our program. The Faculty does not permit students to be registered in our BCL/JD Program and another university program concurrently. Nor does the Faculty permit students to register in our program on a part-time basis with a view to completing other programs of studies while taking courses in our Faculty. Finally, the Faculty does not permit students to take leave from our program in order to complete a graduate program.

What will happen if I am not able to meet this condition?

If you are unable to complete the requirements of your graduate program before registration in the BCL/JD Program, you may choose to withdraw from your graduate program. For the condition of graduate studies completion to be removed, you must 听demonstrate that you are no longer registered in your graduate program. Please contact the 看片视频 Office for more information.

If your offer letter indicated a condition to complete French language instruction prior to registration in our program, the course must be completed before the end of the registration period (end of August).

With this condition, we intend for you to have successfully completed a French language course with the following characteristics:

• The course must be equivalent to a university level 300-, or be classified as High Intermediate;
• The course must be focused on substantive and complex reading and aural comprehension at a high intermediate level;
• Courses focused strictly on grammar or conversation do NOT meet the condition;
• The course must be graded (i.e. evaluation based on attendance or pass/fail is not acceptable);
• The course must be given by a University or an accredited language school;
• An official transcript, showing level of course and grade received, must be obtained;
• The course is such that, once successfully completed, you would be eligible to enter into an 鈥渁dvanced-level鈥� French course at the same institution.

These guidelines reflect the type of language courses that have satisfied our condition in the past. It is your responsibility to ensure you fulfill your admission condition. Proof of your registration and, subsequently, proof of successful completion are required. Please contact the 看片视频 Office to ensure the suitability of the French language course you intend to take to meet your condition.听

To accept our offer of admission, you must open your鈥疉pplicant Portal. On the Applicant status page of the Applicant Portal, click on the link which allows you to accept the offer of admission, called 鈥淩espond to your offer of admission鈥�. You must pay a non-refundable deposit by credit card. This deposit will be subtracted from your tuition fees when you register in the law program at 看片视频; or will be forfeited into a financial aid fund if you do not register. If you do not respond to this offer before the deadline indicated in your letter of admission, your place will be offered to another candidate.听

Candidates who are offered admission have a period of six weeks to accept or decline the offer of admission. This delay gets shorter as we move closer to the end of the admissions cycle.听

If you are currently registered in another program at 看片视频, you may encounter some difficulties accepting our offer on鈥痶he Applicant Portal. These difficulties may occur because the student information system detects a conflict between your current program and the BCL/JD program to which you have been admitted.听

If you are enrolled in an undergraduate program at 看片视频, the conflict may arise because you have not yet declared the date on which you intend to graduate from your current program. Once you declare this date on鈥疢inerva, you should then be able to accept our offer of admission online.听

Graduate students at 看片视频 require the approval of Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies in order to declare the date on which they intend to graduate. If you are currently enrolled in a graduate program at 看片视频, you must contact your department and obtain the necessary authorization so that you can be registered in two programs at the same time.听

Do not hesitate to contact the 看片视频 Office if you have any difficulties accepting our offer of admission.听

All accepted students must provide official final transcripts from all Universities attended, except 看片视频. The 看片视频 Office obtains 看片视频 transcripts directly from the Registrar鈥檚 Office; as such, it is not necessary for current or former 看片视频 students to submit final official 看片视频 transcripts. Your Applicant Portal checklist will indicate which official transcripts are required.听

To be considered official, transcripts must be submitted to us directly from the issuing institution.听

To be considered final, transcripts must include a note indicating 鈥渄egree conferred鈥� or 鈥渄egree granted鈥� or equivalent. If you were admitted with a condition to finish your current program, it is strongly recommended to wait until your transcript includes this proof of degree granted (PDEG) information before sending the official transcript.听

NOTE:鈥�看片视频 University reserves the right to require official academic credentials at any time during the admissions process, and rescind an offer of admission in the event of discrepancies between unofficial and official transcripts.听

It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that all required transcripts are submitted as early as possible.听

The deadline to submit official transcripts is鈥�August 1. The 看片视频 Office is aware that many students are enrolled in programs that will only be completed during the summer months. If submitting final official transcripts by August 1 will not be possible for you as a result of taking summer courses or completing graduate program requirements, please keep the 看片视频 Office informed.听听听

Please note that it may take up to two weeks for official transcripts and proof of graduation to be cleared in the applicant portal. If, after two weeks following the submission of these documents, they have not been cleared from the checklist, please contact the 看片视频 Office.听

Official transcripts can be sent electronically OR mailed directly to the 看片视频 Office of the Faculty of Law in an envelope sealed by the Registrar of the issuing institution. Electronic versions are preferred.听

Your university can send official transcripts directly to the Faculty of Law鈥檚 看片视频 Office through our email address:鈥�admissions.law [at] mcgill.ca鈥疘f the transcript is coming through a third-party official transcript service (i.e., Parchment, NSC, Digitary), it should be sent to鈥�officialschooldocs [at] mcgill.ca听
