First-Year Office - First time at McGill? The First-Year Office is a
service for everyone new at McGill. The First-Year Office is here to
help make the transition to McGill's academic and social networks as
smooth as possible by providing pertinent information and links to a
range of support mechanisms across campus from one central location.
The First-Year Office is in the Brown Student Services Building, Suite
2100, 3600 McTavish Street. Phone: 514-398-6913 Email:
firstyear at mcgill.ca Visit our web site at: www.mcgill.ca/firstyear
First-Year Resource Room - The First-Year Resource Room is equipped with
phone lines and Internet connections for students still getting set-up
and/or who'd like help with Minerva course registration, setting up your
McGill email account or updating your personal information.
Situated right beside the First-Year Office, the FY Resource Room
operates Monday to Friday in room 2007 of the Brown Student Services
Building, 3600 McTavish Street and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
from January 3-20, 2006.
Academic Study Skills Workshop - If you are an incoming "mature"
graduate student, i.e., someone who has been away from regular full-time
university studies for a while, you may want to consider attending our
Academic Skills Development Workshop. This free, one-day workshop will
provide techniques to improve reading efficiency, note-taking skills and
writing of papers, as well as preparation for exams. It will also
provide you with an opportunity to meet and network with other mature
students.
This workshop will take place on Saturday, January 21, 2006 from 11:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Feel free to bring your lunch.) Make your
reservation by calling the First-Year Office at 514-398-6913. Space is
limited so first come, first served.
First-Year Essentials - Looking for information on banks around campus,
cost of living, cell phone providers or daycares? Take a minute to
browse this on-line resource for a wealth of information on a variety of
topics from academic links to second hand shopping locations for
clothing and books. Check out First-Year Essentials at
