Guides to Success in Graduate Studies

Your success is important to us. Whether you’ve chosen to pursue a master’s degree or a doctorate, a short program or a DESS, you’ll need educational guides and tools throughout your time at INRS.

Welcome Guides 2022-2023

Our welcome guides for students beginning their training at INRS contain everything you need to know to properly familiarize yourself with your new researching, training and living environment.

Studying at INRS during the pandemic

At the time of publishing those guides (July 2022), sanitary conditions allow INRS ton conduct all its activities normally.

Unless there is a change in the health situation in Quebec, courses and teaching activities will be in attendance in the Fall 2022 semester. Students will need to be available to travel to their campus.

All campuses and research facilities are accessible following health regulations. At the time of publishing this guide, the sanitary rules are minimal.

Everything for success in higher education

You will be required to read many guides and other documents and complete and submit forms between the time you begin your graduate studies at INRS and the time you receive your graduate degree. You will need to master the Moodle course platform, access and update your student record on the online portal, and borrow from our specialized libraries.

Succeed in your research project

You have primary responsibility for the success of your research project. So it’s important to make sure you have all the information you need, starting with the Guide to Graduate Studies (in French). In addition to walking you through your first steps at university, it also tells you how to approach each stage of your academic journey.

Open communication with your research supervisor is key to success. It’s normal for your opinions to differ from time to time or for misunderstandings to occur, but it’s important to be able to talk about them.

In the event of a dispute, or if you are having trouble communicating, notify your program director. If you have a complaint about supervision, you can contact the Graduate Studies and Student Success Service.
