On this page: French Baccalaureate transfer credit ´¥ÌýThe number of credits you will be grantedÌý´¥ McGill course exemptions
French Baccalaureate transfer credit:
Up to 30 credits may be granted for the French Baccalaureate earned in 'premier groupe' for the examinations of either the reformed Bac 2021Ìýor the previous Série (L, ES, or S). Additionally, students who completed 'spécialités' in mathematics and sciences in the Bac 2021, or Série S in the previous Bac, all with grades of '10' or better, may be exempt from specific McGill math and science courses,Ìýsubject to faculty and program rules.Ìý
If you believe that you have mastered the material taught in a freshman math and/or science course(s) for which an exemption is NOT granted (as per the charts below), you may be eligible to write an admission placement exam. For information, see www.mcgill.ca/exams/dates/science .
McGill reserves the right to change the transfer credit recognition policy without prior notice. |
