Apply directly to Dawson through its application centre; Dawson does not use a regional CEGEP application service. Its basic requirement is a Quebec Secondary School Diploma (DES) or an equivalent qualification, with program-specific prerequisites where applicable. Quebec’s CEGEP admission guidance also recognizes equivalent training and certain vocational or mature routes; the chosen program can add conditions. Dawson gives priority under its Fall 2026 instructions to applicants holding a Certificate of English Eligibility in accordance with Law 14.
Fall 2026 applications are closed, and Dawson lists March 1 as the application deadline. Applicants must upload the required documents through the application centre rather than sending them by email. Technical programs generally take new admissions in the fall; winter admission information is route-specific and should not be projected to every program.
