Course Catalogue content syndication allows academic units to pull course and program information from the Course Catalogue automatically. This helps ensure academic information remains accurate and consistent across Â鶹AV websites and can automatically reflect course and program changes shortly after they are applied.
This functionality is strongly recommended whenever conveying course or program information on Â鶹AV websites. By inserting a short code into your website content, you can reflect nearly any Course Catalogue content onto your page. This code—known as a 'short-tag'—remains the same year after year and will automatically update to reflect changes in the Course Catalogue. This saves departments and web managers resources, as short-tags will always reflect the current official version without any action required from web editors.
You may find a specific short-tag by locating your desired page on the Course Catalogue, or by cataloguesupport.es [at] mcgill.ca (contacting the Course Catalogue team).
Please refer to the examples below for instructions and information. Further details are also available in the following .

- A "long" version is also available, which shows course content fully expanded on the page.
- Where necessary, it is also possible to display course information from a previous academic year:

Degree Requirements for the Faculty of Arts
Each student in the Faculty of Arts must be aware of the Faculty regulations as stated in this publication and on the Â鶹AV, Arts, and Arts Office of Advising and Student Information Services (OASIS) website mcgill.ca/oasis.
While departmental and Faculty advisors and staff are always available to give advice and guidance, the ultimate responsibility for completeness and correctness of your course selection and registration, for compliance with, and completion of your program and degree requirements, and for the observance of regulations and deadlines, rests with you. It is your responsibility to seek guidance from Arts OASIS if in any doubt; misunderstanding or misapprehension will not be accepted as cause for dispensation from any regulation, deadline, program, or degree requirement.
To be eligible for a B.A. degree, you must fulfil all Faculty and program requirements as indicated below:

Geography Admission Requirements and Application Procedures
Admission Requirements
M.A. and M.Sc. Degrees
Applicants not satisfying the conditions in University Regulations & Resources > Graduate > Graduate Â鶹AV and Application Procedures, but with primary undergraduate specialization in a cognate field, may be admitted to the M.A. or M.Sc. degree in Geography in certain circumstances. In general, applicants who have deficiencies in their preparation but are otherwise judged to be acceptable, will be required to register for a Qualifying program or to undertake additional courses.
Ph.D. Degree
Students who have completed a master's degree in Geography or a related discipline (with high standing) may be admitted at the Ph.D. 2 level.
On rare occasions, a student may be admitted to the Ph.D. degree without having first taken the master's degree. These students, who have deficiencies in their preparation but are otherwise acceptable, will be required to register for a year of coursework and/or be required to take extra courses. The normal duration of a program, including field work where required, is three years.
Normally, the Department will restrict admission to the Ph.D. program to students prepared to work in one of the fields of human or physical geography in which specialized supervision is offered. These fields, which cover a wide range of systematic areas, are listed in documents available from the Department.
English Language Proficiency
For graduate applicants whose mother tongue is not English, and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized Canadian or American (English or French) institution or from a recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction, documented proof of English proficiency is required prior to admission. For a list of acceptable test scores and minimum requirements, visit mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/international/proficiency.
