Extra-Curricular and Co-Curricular Activities

Extra-Curricular Activities 

Student-led clubs, societies, and associations give you the opportunity to connect with your peers and expand your collaborative and leadership skills. 

As a McGill student, you are automatically a member of one of the five Student Societies at McGill, who each offer various ways to get involved:

• SSMU (the Students’ Society of McGill University) for undergraduate students on the Downtown Campus,
• MCSS (Macdonald Campus Students’ Society) for undergraduate students at Macdonald Campus,
• PGSS (Post-Graduate Students’ Society) for graduate students on the Downtown Campus
• MCGSS (Macdonald Campus Graduate Students’ Society) for graduate students on Macdonald Campus
• MACES (McGill Association of Continuing Education Students) for students in the School of Continuing Studies

Various volunteer placements on campus or with community organizations can be found on the Volunteering Opportunities Board on myFuture.

Explore mentorship opportunities on the McGill Mentorship Network. Give back and make a meaningful impact by becoming a mentor and sharing your experiences to support the growth of fellow students.

Co-Curricular Activities and Experiential Learning Opportunities

Co-curricular and experiential learning activities are structured experiences that help you apply and deepen what you learn in the classroom.

• Co-curricular activities take place outside your academic courses and complement your personal, professional, or academic goals.

• Experiential learning can be either curricular (part of a course) or co-curricular, and focuses on learning through hands-on experience and reflection.

Student Experience Record

McGill University's Student Experience Record is a comprehensive tool for recording and showcasing students' co-curricular and experiential learning both inside and outside the classroom. Learn more about the Student Experience Record.  Browse opportunities in the Student Experience Catalogue.
