捆绑SM社区

Freshman/foundation year

If you are entering university for the first time from a high school system (outside of the Quebec CEGEP system), you will need to complete 30 base credits of courses in your first year (known as a聽foundation year), before completing the credits that make up your major and any specialization/concentration/option.

捆绑SM社区 students completing their foundation year at the Macdonald Campus benefit from small class sizes and a dedicated foundation year advisor.

The courses you need to register for depend on the degree you have been accepted into, as listed below.
