Course Overlap
You will not receive additional credit towards your degree for any course that overlaps in content with a course for which you have already received credit at McGill, at another university, or at CEGEP; for advanced placement exams; or for advanced level results, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or French Baccalaureate. It is your responsibility to consult with a degree advisor in the Science student advising (SOUSA), or the department offering the course as to whether or not credit can be obtained and to be aware of exclusion clauses specified in the course description in this publication. For detailed information on transfer credits, please refer to McGill's Advanced Standing and Transfer Credit website.
Sometimes, the same course is offered by two different departments. Such courses are called 'double-prefix' courses. When such courses are offered simultaneously, you should take the course offered by the department in which you are obtaining your degree. For example, in the case of double-prefix courses CHEM XYZ and PHYS XYZ, Chemistry students take CHEM XYZ and the Physics students take PHYS XYZ. If a double-prefix course is offered by different departments in alternate years, you may take whichever course best fits your schedule.
