Concordia accepts Quebec CEGEP applicants with a pre-university or technical DEC, subject to program-specific CRC requirements and prerequisites. Its course-equivalency list may support exemptions. Separate articulation agreements can provide exemptions or advanced standing for designated DEC programs; those benefits must be checked against the exact agreement.
Use that type of destination check before selecting a Vanier profile. A technical DEC is not automatically a fixed university-credit package, and a pre-university DEC does not guarantee admission to every degree. Ask the receiving faculty to assess your actual program, courses and grades.
Checked
| Destination | Published condition |
|---|---|
| Concordia undergraduate admission from Quebec CEGEP | Pre-university or technical DEC; CRC and prerequisites vary by program |
| Possible course standing | Course equivalencies may support exemptions; advanced standing depends on a designated articulation agreement and individual eligibility |
Decision checklist
- Name the target degree and faculty.
- Compare its prerequisites and CRC or selection conditions.
- Request a destination-specific assessment of exemptions or advanced standing.
