Uploading your documents | Undergraduate Admissions …

Consider us paperless. In most cases, you will need to upload your supporting documents rather than mailing or faxing them.

Uploading will save you the time, effort, and expense of mailing transcripts and supporting documents. Plus, it can speed up the review of your application - so that you can obtain an admission decision sooner. We suggest you submit documents as soon as possible to prevent any delays to your application review.

Do not mail, fax or submit electronically copies of the documents that you havealready uploadedto your application; doing so may slow down the review of your application.

McGill University reserves the right to remove an uploaded document if the quality of the document is unacceptable, if a virus is detected, or if it does not match the checklist request. This will result in delays in reviewing your application and making a decision, so please follow these guidelines.

Your offer of admission will be contingent upon the receipt and verification of your official documents. Please do not send official records until we request them.

McGill University reserves the right to require official academic credentials at any time during the admission process, and to rescind any offer of admission made if discrepancies between unofficial and official transcripts are found.
