General Requirements
Undergraduate program applicants from Quebec must present the following:
Grade 12 Requirements:
- High School Diploma
- 6 academic Grade 12 courses (university-preparation level), including the required courses for your chosen degree, as outlined below
CEGEP Requirements:

Note: The R-score is not used for admission purposes.
Things to remember:
- Estimated cutoff ranges are based on admission averages from previous years and are meant to be used as a guide. Actual cut-offs are determined by the quantity and quality of applications received and the space available in the program. Having an average within this range does not guarantee admission.
- Admission averages for co-op programs are often higher than the estimated cut-off ranges. If you are not admissible to co-op, you will automatically be considered for the regular program.
- Majors with a single asterisk * indicate a co-op option is available.
- Majors with a double asterisk ** indicate admission to co-op only.
