Degree Planning

SASSS Resources

McGill Resources

The SSS Program is incredibly flexible to the interests of students. Check out the resources to the left for SSS course options.

 

Planning your degree is made possible by evaluating course options and finding ones that align with your interests, along with building an effective course schedule that will work for you. Click the buttons to the left to be redirected to 1) the SSS Degree Planning Guide, which you can use to plan your course selection; 2) Sample Degree Plans, featuring real examples of SSS student's 3/4-year course schedule; 3) the Course Substitution sheet, where students have noted SSS classes that they have subbed for others; 5) Ask SASSS, a form to submit any academic or non-academic questions to SASSS, 6) the McGill eCalendar, where you can search course codes and program requirements, and; 7) the McGill Visual Schedule Builder, which will help you design a schedule fitting your needs.

McGill (and thus SASSS) is located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka, the easternmost Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The island we are situated on is known as Tio’tià:ke in Kanien’kéha and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin, and has been a place of cultural exchange for long before the arrival of colonizers to so-called Canada. 

 

The reality is that acknowledging this fact means nothing on its own. Land acknowledgements can be attempts by settler-colonial institutions – like McGill – to absolve themselves of guilt and responsibility, while also ignoring their roles in practices and campaigns dispossessing Indigenous peoples of their lands, wealth, and culture. 

 

We have a responsibility to move far beyond words and into praxis. Take this land acknowledgment as an explicit call to action: support Indigenous resistance against colonial governments and their systems created to assimilate, as well as extractive industries and ecological degredation. If you have the financial means, donate to communities on the front lines and local mutual aid networks. Volunteer your time with organizations in Tio’tià:ke that serve Indigenous folks. Do whatever you can, wherever you can, to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities across Turtle Island.
