  • Be a recognized resident of Qu茅bec.
  • Enrolled or have graduated from one of the following Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) programs:
    • Science (200.B0, 200.B1)
    • Combined science programs ''Double DEC'' (200.11, 200.12, 200.13, 200.15, 200.16)-note that the global R score including both programs is used in the academic assessment)
    • Science + International Baccalaureate ''IB DEC'' (200.Z0, 200.Z1)
    • Sciences, Lettres et Arts (700.A0, 700.A1)
    • French Baccalaureate at a Quebec institution only (*2)
  • Complete the DEC in a maximum of 3 years.
  • *Be in the final year of collegial studies and obtain (by July 31 of the entering year) a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) in one of the programs listed above or have graduated from one of the stated programs and not registered or enrolled in a full-time University level program (see note below in exceptions (*1) for more information).

Note: The majority of competitive applicants will complete the DEC in the expected 2 years and be full-time according to the regulations of their institution in each Fall and Winter semester. The most common situations candidates will have extended the length of their DEC are: Starting in a bridging (tremplin) program or in another pre-university DEC, Double-DEC, Sports-脡tudes, medical withdrawal from a course or a semester issues with availability of required courses at your institution, part-time terms or leaves that prevent completing the program, taking 5 courses in one semester and 7 in another, or other extenuating circumstances.

Extenuating Circumstances

Candidates should only select 鈥extenuating circumstances鈥 in the online application and submit their letter and documentation if they did not complete the DEC in 3 years, or if their circumstances had a temporary impact on their usual level of academic achievement.
