The Registration Fee includes tuition, seminar supplies, meal service (breakfast, lunch and breaks), and a certificate of completion from the McGill Executive Institute. The fee is subject to the taxes of the province in which the program is delivered.

Cancellation requests

Cancellation requests must be received by email at least 14 calendar days prior to the seminar start date for a full refund. Restrictions apply for international payments and certain programs – please contact us for more information.

Cancellation requests received less than 14 calendar days prior to the seminar start date are not subject to refunds but a transfer can be requested – see Transfer Requests below.

Transfer requests

If a participant wishes to transfer to another seminar, a transfer request must be sent by email to executive@mcgill.ca. Transfer requests received at least 14 calendar days prior to the seminar start date are completed at no charge. Transfer requests received less than 14 calendar days prior to the seminar start date are subject to a $295 CAD transfer fee, payable by credit card. Once a transfer request is approved, and we have received full payment of the transfer fee (where applicable), the “credit” can be applied to any seminar within 12 months of the original seminar start date (price difference may apply). Note that after a transfer, no refunds, cancellations or additional transfers are permitted; however, participants may send a qualified substitute in their place at no charge.

Forfeit Fee

If a participant gives no notice prior to the seminar start date and/or fails to show up, the full fee will be forfeited as of the first day of the program.
“Credit” from an uncompleted Transfer Request will be automatically forfeited after 12 months of the original seminar start date.

Note on Wire Transfers

If a learning service at the McGill Executive Institute is purchased for by wire transfer, any applicable refund must be made back to the original source and location of the wire transfer.

• Additional materials: Prior to the program start date, please check MyCourses for any specific material requests or pre-course assignments. Be sure to bring any required items as indicated.

For your safety and well-being, it is important that you inform us about any allergies you may have when creating your account on our website. If you forgot to mention your allergies during the registration process, please reach out to us at executive@mcgill.ca as soon as possible to update your information.

Notice:

At the McGill Executive Institute, we prioritize the health and safety of all participants in our on-campus or in-person programs. While we take every precaution to accommodate individuals with allergies, it is important to note that we cannot guarantee an entirely allergen-free environment. By attending our on-campus programs, you acknowledge that you are responsible for informing us about your allergies and taking necessary measures to manage your allergies, such as carrying appropriate medication. McGill University, the McGill Executive Institute, its employees, and representatives shall not be held liable for any allergic reactions or related incidents that may occur during the program.

Although it is a rare occurrence and every attempt is made to honor dates posted on our website, the McGill Executive Institute reserves the right to cancel or reschedule the date of a seminar up to two (2) weeks prior to the start date.  In such cases, participants can transfer their payment to the revised/rescheduled date, apply their payment to an equivalently-priced seminar, or receive a full (100%) refund for seminar registration fees already paid.  Note that McGill cannot refund any travel or other expenses resulting from the cancellation and it is strongly recommended to book refundable or modifiable travel arrangements.

If you are attending an on-campus program, please review the latest information on McGill University’s respiratory infectious diseases, including COVID-19 safety measures and protocols here.
