How to Calculate the Number of Credits
Each subject is identified by a course code composed of six digits. The last digit of a course code
corresponds to the number of credits earned by passing the course.
Example:
Course Title Course Code Number of Credits
Mathematics: Science Option 565-506 6
English Language Arts 632-406 6
Visual Arts Option 668-402 2
The fourth digit of a course code corresponds to the grade level of the course.
Example:
Course Title Course Code Grade Level
Mathematics: Science Option 565-506 Secondary 5
English Language Arts 632-406 Secondary 4
Visual Arts Option 668-402 Secondary 4
Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 3Note:
To obtain the credit attached to a course, a 60% or more in that course is required.
Students who pass all their secondary 4 classes generally have at least 36 credits completed
at the beginning of secondary 5.
Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 4The Achievement Record from the MEES In Secondary 4 and 5, the grades you receive from RHS are sent to the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur (MEES). Students should receive their Ministry Achievement Record by mail in early July. Grades indicated on the Achievement Record from the MEES are the final grades. These grades may be different from the grades found on your report card. This is the case for courses with a final exam from the Ministry (History, for example). Example of MEES Achievement Record: Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 5
On the MEES Achievement Record, the number of credits for each course is indicated under the column “CR”. Example: The listing on the left-hand side of the MEES Achievement Record gives information regarding the number of credits accumulated. Example: Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 6
Applying to College
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma of College Studies (DCS), high school
applicants must be successfully completing all of the requirements of a Secondary School Diploma
(SSD) - see p.2.
In addition, each college program may have specific requirements other than the minimum
graduation requirements (for example, Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry). Therefore, it is
important to verify the specific pre-requisites of your program of choice in order to ensure that
you have taken the necessary courses in high school to be considered for admission.
Types of College Programs
There are two types of college programs in Quebec: Pre-University and Technical programs. Below
are the characteristics of each.
Pre-University programs Technical programs
Duration 2 years 3 years
Goal To prepare for University To provide the skills to enter
studies the workforce
Approach Theoretical More practical, hands-on
Internship Not usually Often
Access to University Yes Yes
Access to the workforce No Yes
All pre-university and technical programs include:
1. A common general education component which includes the following courses:
4 courses in the language of instruction and literature
2 second language courses
3 humanities courses
Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 7 3 physical education courses
2 complementary courses
2. An education component specific to the program
28 to 32 units of pre-university sector courses
45 to 65 units of technology sector courses
In addition, in order to obtain your DCS, all students must pass the English exit exam and the local
comprehensive assessment related to each program.

Technical Programs
Technical programs train individuals with the practical scientific knowledge to practice a given
trade or profession. Graduates of technical programs generally join the work force after their
studies. However, many choose to pursue their studies in university.
There are options for students in certain college programs to complete a DEC-BAC in conjunction
with a specific university. In these agreements, certain classes completed during collegial studies
are credited to the university program requirements (for example, Nursing).
Technical programs provide a more hands-on practical learning approach compared to the pre-
university programs. In addition, they provide the option to access interesting summer job
opportunities or permit student to work in a specialized filed while going to university.
There are over 130 technical programs in 7 major fields in Quebec:
Biological Technologies
Agricultural Technologies
Community Technologies
Physical Technologies
Business Administrative Technologies
Applied Arts
Graphic Communications
See tables below for full list of technical programs:

academic support, improvement of oral and written communication skills and
development of self-confidence and motivation.
Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 12 Prerequisites: for students who need to acquire pre-requisites for their program
of choice. It is NOT to improve grades in prerequisite courses. Applicants must
demonstrate a strong academic aptitude and good results in previous
Mathematics and Science courses in order to qualify for admission to this profile.
Transition: for students with at least one full semester of Cegep studies who need
to take Science and Mathematics courses in order to transfer to another program.
Choosing a College
The first step in choosing a college is knowing the program you are interested in, since not all
colleges will offer all programs.
Secondly, research whether certain colleges offer particular profiles or classes that are unique to
that school. For example, some colleges may offer a humanitarian trip or work study as part of the
program.
Factors to take into consideration when choosing a college:
The nature and diversity of classes
Extracurricular activities
Services offered (study centers, counselling, library, etc.)
Academic support from teachers (availability)
Geographic proximity and transportation
Great ways to discover more about different colleges:
Attending Open Houses
Participating in Guided Tours
Participating in Student for a Day (registration via College website)
Visit college websites
Pickup college brochure or viewbook at the guidance office
Every year, RHS organizes an Education Fair in which representatives from various colleges and
educational institutions are invited to RHS as an opportunity for students to explore programs and
ask questions. This usually takes place in November. Come prepared with your questions!
Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 13How to Apply to College
Different application systems exist to apply to college. In order to know which system to use, you
will need to know which colleges you want to apply to. It is possible to apply to more than one

How Is My Application Analyzed?
Colleges look at Secondary 4 results from your MEES Achievement Record as well as Secondary 5
results for Terms 1 and 2. Secondary 4 and 5 grades are each weighted at about 50%. The analysis
looks at the following criteria:
General average from Secondary 4 and 5
Deviation from the mean
English grades
Science and Math grades (Math, Science, Physics, Chemistry) if program requirement
Grades in classes related to program chosen
Number of credits attached to a course (bonus if 64 to 84 credits total)
Admissions are always conditional to passing the course by the end of the school year. Colleges
may require minimal grades to be achieved for particular courses. For example, some colleges may
require at least 75% in Math for those entering Science programs.
Document prepared RHS Guidance Department – 2019-20 12What is Vocational Education? Vocational training programs are 1 to 2 year long courses that focus on learning practical and specialized skills to prepare students to enter the job market in a specific skilled trade. Successful completion of a vocational training program leads to a diploma of vocational studies (DVS or DEP in French). For some DVSs, students can upgrade their skills by completing an attestation of vocational specialization (AVS) for a period varying between three and six months. These official diplomas, which are internationally recognized, are issued by the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur du Québec.
