Policy on Assessment of Student Learning

The purpose of the Policy on Assessment of Student Learning (PASL) is to provide a set of common principles to guide assessment of student learning throughout McGill University, recognizing the different needs of Faculties and academic units.

The Policy promotes equity, consistency, effective learning experiences, a healthy learning environment, and academic integrity under the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures.

The Policy applies to all undergraduate and graduate courses offered by McGill University for which credit is earned and students receive a final grade on an official McGill transcript. Faculties and other units may develop their own local assessment guidelines and procedures that are consistent with this Policy and any other University regulations.

The Policy is available in English and in French on the Secretariat website.

Learn more and find additional resources on the PASL website.
