<p>So, i know that McGill runs on a schedule very different from that of the majority of American Universities. I know McGill ends earlier and has shorter vacations but to what extent?</p>
<p>Could someone please lay out the basic schedule for me (when classes start, when vacations are, etc)</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>this year, this was the schedule (so give or take a few days)
classes start - sept 5
classes end dec 5
exams dec 5 - dec 22 (when you're done, you can leave)
classes start - jan 3
reading week (spring break) - this week
classes end - april 14 (i think?)
exams end april 30</p>
<p>I know the rules with student visas are/will/have changed: can a US student stay the summer in Canada and work?</p>
