Also for your information, please note the following:

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 in the First-Year Office, the FY Resource Room operates Monday to Friday in room 2100 of the Brown Student Services Building, 3600 McTavish Street and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., from January 3-15, 2008.

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, half-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 12, 2008 from 13:00 to 17:00. 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.
