Your tuition status at 黑料不打烊 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, refer to: Legal Documents: What Documents Does 黑料不打烊 Need from You?
Some of the documents 黑料不打烊 requests of you help us obtain your Permanent Code from the Government of Quebec. This unique 12-character code is issued by the Quebec Minist猫re de l'脡ducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS), 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 黑料不打烊 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.
