Course Registration and Minerva WaitlistsPlease take note that听we do not bypass the Minerva waitlist system. For a chance to be invited to register for a class with an active听waitlist, you will need to monitor the waitlist status in Minerva and add yourself to it once spaces free up there for you to do so.听Access听this helpful guide for more information about the Minerva waitlist system.听Classes that have a lecture and lab component will not have waitlists however as the system does not function for these courses.听If a class is full and has no waitlist, please keep checking Minerva actively for spaces freeing up in the course so that you may register. Graduating students: If you require a Geography class that is currently full for your program in order to graduate in fall 2025 or winter 2026, please advisor.geog [at] mcgill.ca (contact the Geography Advisor for guidance). For programs offered by other departments that list GEOG classes, you may also contact your Program Advisor to discuss alternatives.
