Students must have a Quebec Secondary School Diploma with five Secondary V courses, including program-specific prerequisites. A minimum average
of 84% is required but does not guarantee admission. The admission average is calculated based on a student’s best Secondary V courses, including the
prerequisites for the student’s selected program.
CEGEP general requirements
Students must have a minimum of 12 CEGEP courses, including program-specific prerequisites, but excluding physical education and make-up courses.
The admission average is calculated based on completed courses, excluding physical education and make-up courses. We do not take the “R” rating into
consideration. Students may receive up to 15 credits of advanced standing. The credits we grant depend on the courses completed, the grades achieved
and the program to which the student is admitted.
¹Past experience indicates that students with a strong background in biology, chemistry and physics have an increased rate of success. ¹ Students are required to take a make-up course in functions and/or calculus and vectors at the University of Ottawa either the summer before or during their first term.
