Saint-Lambert: program requirements
Saint-Lambert: Compare pre-university study, designed to prepare for university, with three-year technical study combining a specialty and general education. Computer Science Technology is one current technical example; it is not a prerequisite template for every Champlain program.
The Computer Science Technology page requires a Quebec Secondary School Diploma or an equivalent level recognized by the college, plus Mathematics TS/SN4 or CST5. It describes programming, databases, networks and security, with data science, cloud computing and AI-assisted development added in its 2026 revision. The page links a 2027–28 brochure and separate program grids for higher- and lower-proficiency COE holders and students without a COE. Check the relevant grid because courses may change.
Champlain requires a letter of intent for Nursing applicants and applicants who have spent one or more semesters outside full-time study. Explain your program choice and any relevant interruption or difficulty in your academic record. Other programs may have their own prerequisite tests or document requests; use their own pages and your admission letter.
Lennoxville: Science and Transition
Lennoxville: the current Science 200.B1 General profile page lists Chemistry 534 or 551504, Mathematics 536 or 564506 or 565506 (TS or SN Level 5), and Physics 534 or 553504. Separate certificate-holder and non-certificate-holder grids run across four semesters, with Programming in Science in semester two and the integrative science project in semester four.
Lennoxville’s Transition / Springboard route can help if you are missing prerequisites, waiting for a winter cohort or unsure of your program. It offers general-education and permitted program courses; the college says most credits can count toward a pre-university or technical program. Confirm the selected courses with Academic Advising: this is not admission to every destination program or a university credit promise.
St. Lawrence: Science and Business
St. Lawrence: Science 200.B1 has fall entry and a two-year duration. Its page requires Chemistry 534 or equivalent, Physics 534 or equivalent, and Mathematics TS or SN 5. The Health Science profile (200.B5) includes human physiology and organic chemistry; Pure & Applied Science (200.B6) allows science/mathematics options. The first-year prerequisites are shared, and the college says students can switch profiles during first year. Choose second-year options around the receiving university’s requirements.
At St. Lawrence, Science grids differ for non-certificate holders and COE holders at French levels 1–2 or 3–4. Business 410.G0 is a three-year fall-entry technical program governed by the college’s general admission requirements. Its current page still says final Fall 2026 course sequences are forthcoming during a revision, despite displaying grids. Ask Academic Advising for your cohort’s confirmed sequence before relying on the displayed order.

A selected-course map, not the complete timetable. Both published language-status grids include general education; option choices can move linear algebra between semesters three and four. Use your COE/non-COE grid for the full sequence.
| Semester | Selected required study |
|---|---|
| 1 | General chemistry, mechanics, probability/statistics and differential calculus |
| 2 | Chemistry of solutions, cellular biology, integral calculus and Programming in Science |
| 3 | Ecology/evolution, waves/modern physics and science options; linear algebra timing depends on option choices |
| 4 | Electricity/magnetism, integrative science project and science options |
Decision checklist
- Use the named campus’s instructions and your current program/cohort.
- Open the exact program page before treating a prerequisite as universal.
- Ask whether prior courses will be integrated before planning a shortened route.
- Keep pre-university and technical DEC outcomes distinct in university planning.
