It is important to keep your official records up to date, especially your mailing or billing address, because these are used by the University year round. If your address information on file is invalid, incomplete, or missing, the University will hold your mail. Once you have provided a valid address, the University will resume sending your mail.
You must update your address(es) and/or telephone number(s) and emergency contact information on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva) under the Personal Menu.
If you are away from campus and do not have access to the Internet, you can request changes by writing to your Student Affairs Office or to Service Point. Your written request must include your signature.
If you need to change important personal information that requires the University to verify official documents, such as a name or citizenship change, or correction of your birth date, you must go in person (as soon as possible) to Service Point, 3415 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 0C8. Macdonald campus students can request changes in person at the Student Affairs Office, Laird Hall, Room 106.
Revision, January 2013. Start of revision.
Your tuition status at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ will vary depending on your status in Canada. In order for us to determine your appropriate rate of tuition (Quebec, Canadian out-of-province, or international), we require legal documents confirming your current status. We also require these documents to confirm your valid citizenship/immigration status. To find out which documents you must provide—and when they are required—refer to: Legal Documents: What Documents Does 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Need from You?
Some of the documents 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ requests of you help us obtain your Permanent Code from the Government of Quebec. This unique 12-character code is issued by the Government of Quebec, and is obligatory for all students registered in a Quebec institution.
If you have previously attended school in Quebec, you already possess a Permanent Code, which can be found on your school report card or your CEGEP and/or university transcripts. After you have accepted the University's offer of admission, you can check on Minerva (under the Personal Menu) to see if 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ has received your Permanent Code.
You can consult your tuition and legal status (including your Permanent Code) on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva). Select Student Menu > Student Accounts Menu > View your Tuition and Legal Status.

You will be in Canada for more than six months (i.e., you are enrolled in a degree, certificate, or diploma program, usually for two or more consecutive academic semesters) |

These exemptions lower your fees to the Quebec rate of tuition. More detailed information for the categories listed above are available at www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/general-information/tuition-fee-exemptions as well as at www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments/exemption.

Once 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ has received your documents, it usually takes one week to process them and update your file accordingly.
If you do not agree with your tuition status, notify 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ right away. If you provide additional documentation in support of your file after the last day of classes for the given term, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ will be unable to accept your requested changes, or to update your tuition status rate for that term.
The Government of Quebec usually takes one to four weeks to verify or issue your Permanent Code.
Revision, January 2013. Start of revision.
The deadline to submit documents in support of a change to your tuition status effective for that term is the last day of classes for that term (e.g., December 1st for changes to be made to your tuition status for the Fall term, or April 1st for changes to be made for the Winter term).
9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ will not produce your ID card until all of your legal documents have been received. Your ID card is essential to the use of many services on campus, and to take your final exams.
If we are missing the required legal documents, a hold will be added to your record preventing you from registering or dropping any courses, and from obtaining your official transcript.
International students who have not provided their valid immigration documents to 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ may be de-registered.
If your tuition status is changed and your fees are reduced as a result of the document review process, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ will waive the difference on any accumulated late payment or interest charges.
Revision, January 2013. End of revision.
You must send in all your documents after you have been accepted to 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ but before the start of classes. Do not send originals. Email or mail clear and legible copies of your documents. Write your 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ student ID on each document so that 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ can match them to your record. The sooner you submit your documents, the sooner the University can update your status and ensure that your record is in order. Refer to www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments for further details.
Ensure that you save your documents properly in one of the above formats—do not just rename the file extension. Due to the possibility of computer viruses, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ does not accept Microsoft Word documents (.doc), hypertext files (.htm, .html), JPG, GIF, or any other format.
Put your First Name, Last Name, and 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ ID number in the subject line of your email.
