Admission requirements
Prerequisite courses
Admission to certain programs requires that you have successfully completed (or that you are currently completing) a mathematics, chemistry and/or physics course at the time of application. If you have completed your studies outside of Canada, the recognition of your prerequisites will be based on the following criteria:
To have a prerequisite granted, the course must be listed as “chemistry” or “physics” or “mathematics” (whichever applicable) on your transcripts with a passing grade. The prerequisite will not be granted if the course is named anything other than the prerequisite required. For example, the “chemistry” prerequisite will not be granted if the course you took was named “sciences”.
In Québec, secondary 4 is the 10th year of study and secondary 5 is the 11th year of study. If the program you are applying to in cégep requires a secondary 4 mathematics course, your transcripts must show that you passed a mathematics course in your 10th or 11th year of study.
What if you don’t have the prerequisites?
Documents to provide
Documents will be requested based on your situation. Once you’ll have filled out the application for admission, the system will list the documents you will have to submit to complete your file. These may include:
*Only color printed copies or color scanned documents made directly from the original report cards and diplomas will be accepted. Do not send original document. SRAM is not returning any documents.
Comparative evaluation
In order for a cégep to decide on your admission, a comparative evaluation of your studies completed outside of Canada is needed. You may request while filing out your online application that SRAM produces this evaluation. It’s important to note that SRAM’s evaluations are used for the sole purpose of cégep admissions and are not provided to applicants. A 50$ fee is applicable and you must provide copies of your transcripts from the last three years of high school even if you pursued your studies afterwards.
If you currently hold a comparative evaluation from the ministère de l’Immigration du Québec (MIFI or MIDI or MICC), it may be submitted in lieu of having SRAM prepare a comparative evaluation.
Important! If you have requested that MIDI (previously MICC) prepare an evaluation but you do not have the results in your possession, it is highly recommended to select the option to have SRAM prepare the evaluation to avoid the risk of missing the deadline. Considering your admission is based on your school grades, SRAM cannot accept an MICC or MIDI receipt – you must submit the results of the comparative evaluation prior to the deadline for your application to be considered.
Language test
After completing your application, you may be contacted by the cégep to pass a language test before the cégep decides on your admission. If you do not write this test, your application will be turned down.
