You will have to confirm your registration for the 2024 Summer semester in your Student File (dossier étudiant) from April 9 to May 12 (short semester) and April 9 to May 19 (long semester).

You'll then need to make your course selection in your Student file, in accordance with your study plan. The periods for choosing or modifying your courses are April 10 to May 12 (short semester) and April 10 to May 19 (long semester).

Please note! Before making your course selection, it is very important to complete a study plan with your director of studies or research. The study plan is mandatory for all new graduate students.

All students have an email account with the following format: firstname.lastname@polymtl.ca. This address will only be activated within 48 hours of registering for your first trimester of studies at Polytechnique. Access your account on IMP/Horde. You can also redirect your email address to a different email account of your choice via your Student file online.

For more information, visit the IT Department website.

Assurance

Polytechnique's graduate student association (AÉCSP) offers its members a complementary health, vision and dental insurance plan. You are automatically enrolled.

However, your enrolment for this insurance will only begin in the fall term of 2024. New students are not covered during the summer term.

IMPORTANT: INSURANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International students are automatically enrolled in the Health and Hospitalization Insurance Plan for Foreign Students (ASHEE). They are also enrolled in the insurance plan offered by the AÉCSP mentioned above. The ASHEE, at a cost of $324 for coverage from April 15 to August 31, 2024, is mandatory for all international students, unless an exemption applies.

Carte

As of the first semester, all students must obtain an ID card. This card is required for several services (library, registrar's office, security) and for certain pedagogical activities.

You must make an appointment to have your Polytechnique Montréal ID card produced.

OPUS

The OPUS card allows you to use public transportation in the city - the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). If you are a full-time student (or considered a full-time student), you can pay reduced fares by purchasing a student OPUS card (photo required). You can apply online from your Student File, or at the STM photo studio on appointment only

Attention: To order the OPUS card online, you must already have your Polytechnique Montréal Student ID card, because the photo from your Polytechnique ID card will be used by the STM for your OPUS card. Please allow 24 hours for the transfer of your photo to your Student File.
