Google Code for Remarketing Tag - Bloom

Your McGill ID is the 9-digit number shown on your McGill ID card. Your Minerva PIN is a 6-18 character combination (numbers and letters) of your own choosing. They are used together to access a few online services and IT systems at McGill including:

  • Minerva (only needed for first-time login and for applicants)
  • Restricted sites within the old McGill Web Publishing system

In the letter of acknowledgement of your application, you will receive your McGill ID number. Your initial Minerva PIN is your date of birth in the format YYMMDD, (year, month, and day) such as 850624. You will also receive instructions on how to log into Minerva. If you have trouble logging in, call Service Point at 514-398-7878.
