MCGILL REGISTRATION TIPS

Hey guys! I thought I'd make a very niche McGill registration video to help everyone registering for classes in the next couple of weeks! Hope my advice is helpful. ALSO: another great idea is to reach out to upper year students in the same program as you to ask specific questions.

Thanks!

[@ridasiddiqui4584]

not sure if you’re aware of this or not but i think every single person joining mcgill this fall has watched your mcgill videos - your videos have been a topic of conversation many times thanks so much for doing them :)

[@jennamay2736]

I can vouch for this, these videos are shared in groupchats among all of the incoming students like crazy!

[@jessicaogorman609]

literally ’24’s lord and savior

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

Jessica O’Gorman 😭😍

[@jaredetzrodt8847]

literal QUEEN. PERIODT.

[@jennamay2736]

Thank you so much for this! I know a lot of us incoming first years are all super grateful for the videos you put out!!

[@ananyasharma5509]

Thank you so much for this.😭💕

[@kamidersahakian7328]

This was really helpful! Can you maybe film a video about how you feel about remote learning during the fall semester? If I've understood correctly there'll be no in person classes for fall right?

[@sarakl8393]

Wow I found this super helpful thank u so much!!

[@domenicobonilla5870]

No way! I just registered this morning! What good timing

[@rebeccamononen4132]

This was so helpful thank you!!!

[@aryana9495]

Thank youuuu great video!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jettwashed]

i don't even go to mcgill but anything for alena

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

imnotaimee thank you so much for always supporting me and my videos!! It means so much

[@rainetse6529]

Thank you for such an informative video! Would it be okay to know the two majors and the minor that you are studying? It seems like you're in the Desautels faculty and I am also going there this fall! What is your major there?

[@emmagibb2422]

thank u for this vid! im U0 general arts and have literally no idea what I should take. also are 8:30 classes a bad idea lol

[@tbdkv8153]

Have you seen foreign students at McGill? McGill University is working with some universities in Israel also, and I hope to go to McGill with our Student-exchange program :-)

[@caitlinstarr7448]

would you be willing to make a video explaining the registration process? these tips are suuuuper helpful but the process itself still confuses me. thank you!

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

Caitlin Starr hey! I’m sorry I wasn’t clear :,((. Essentially, you log into Minerva to find your registration time, go on VSB to search for the classes you want, and on your registration day you copy and paste the CRNs into Minerva under the tab “quick add/drop courses”

[@caitlinstarr7448]

Alena McKenzie thank you for replying so quickly! I’m so anxious about everything regarding university next year cause I’m just so excited😁 Thanks for clearing it up!

[@Lisa.matmati]

@@AlenaMcKenzie what’s VSB?

[@gregsfilms3986]

Been looking the visual schedule builder and all of my classes only have one possible time frame so it's pretty hard to find classes that don't clash, is this normal? Thank you so much for all the great videos though!

[@illiabahour7308]

Thank youuu💕💕

[@julielombard4021]

How do I select the courses? I’m joining as a U1 and am planning on majoring in psychology but also minoring in other areas when I make my schedule how do I balance these?

[@narumi89]

ugh i just attended a mcgill pro (orientation webinar type thing) and they were like oh it’s okay if you’re late you can register up to august and i’m like GIRL they fill up quick students are telling us this!!!!

[@louiseaugustin3169]

Hi Alena! Thanks for this video, it's super helpful. I've been accepted in Arts next year but I really don't know what subjects or classes to take. How did you decide?

[@morgans9759]

i think they will prob tell us in the orientations that are coming up.

[@Lisa.matmati]

If I’m going to be an arts student and want to do a minor in management for example, do I have to apply for it and if yes how and where? I’m kind of confused about it

[@martinaguirre6294]

Thanks so much for this video - it was awesome! One question: When you talk about the McGill Enhanced extension - when you say “Minerva on a different browser”, do you mean it as in having Minerva open in Safari and the schedule builder on Chrome? Or just two different windows / tabs?

[@alessandragranata2047]

Yes I was wondering the same! My guess is that it has to be safari and chrome kind of thing but I wasn’t sure :/

[@danielb.6013]

I think it's just two different tabs, I don't see why it would be on two different browsers...

[@riley1c218]

Both windows may have to be chrome because the extension is only installed on chrome. I’m not sure though.

[@maysan9244]

did anyone one of you figure it out? im registering in 2 days

[@chelseagabil]

Any advice for international students trying to get into McGill.

[@jeevanpurewal2420]

What differences are there for first years entering U1 rather than U0?

[@ariannamaria1492]

This was so helpful, thank you! Do you have any class recommendations? (I am undecided so open to anything)

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

Arianna Maria I love art history!! Any 200 level class

[@shaminarahman6307]

Hello Alena, you probably wont see or reply to this but yeah 😅😂what is known to be mcgills “pre-med” program like which health science? I want to do an undergrad that most current mcgill mcdm students have done to enter mcgills medicine program as a International student its hard to get any useful information

[@myrah17]

[@Garcia-elf]

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

[@benjamincannabrava7677]

Go to mcgill.ca/accepted, then click on the Next Steps tab and read from there

[@vivianeweiland993]

I am not sure if anyone would know this, but if I am doing an environmental science major at McGill, would I need to live at Macdonald residence, or would I be able to live in upper rez?

[@AlenaMcKenzie]
