Admissions Planning
Fall 2027 admissions planning
Match the credential, French evidence, and exact program
UQTR is a French-language university. Quebec DEC, Ontario and other Canadian, international, university-study, and knowledge-and- experience candidates do not share one percentage floor. The chosen program controls prerequisites, tests, interviews, capacity, and campus.
Fall 2027 general date
Pending
The current general page still promotes Fall 2026.
Latest contingent guidance
March 1
Verify the target-cycle program page before relying on it.
12-year systems
Preparatory route
Can supply the thirteenth year required for direct entry.
Fall 2027 cycle pending
Standing dates are planning evidence, not a 2027 promise
The 2026–2027 guide lists September 1 generally and March 1 for contingent first-cycle programs. UQTR has not yet attached those dates to a complete Fall 2027 cycle in the fetched official material.
Admission route audit
| Route | Published base | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Quebec DEC | Appropriate DEC or equivalent | The exact program can add prerequisites, a CRC threshold, tests, interviews, a portfolio, or selection limits. |
| Ontario and other Canadian systems | Normally 13 years or equivalent | A 12-year credential can require an approved preparatory year or prior university study; UQTR does not publish one Ontario percentage for every program. |
| International studies | Credential and country dependent | Applicants with 12 years of prior schooling can be assigned a preparatory year; immigration rules generally require full-time study. |
| University studies | Program-specific credits and results | The selected program decides which prior university studies are eligible and whether prerequisites or courses d’appoint apply. |
| Knowledge and experience | Sufficient preparation for the chosen program | UQTR’s first-cycle regulation permits this route where the program defines relevant knowledge or experience and any extra conditions. |
Deadline audit
Fall 2027 general admission
Pending
No fetched UQTR page publishes a general deadline explicitly labelled Fall 2027.
Latest general fall guidance
September 1
The 2026–2027 Quebec guide lists this standing date, subject to program capacity and earlier conditions.
Contingent first-cycle programs
March 1
The current admission page and latest guide use March 1; applicants must verify the live program page for the target cycle.
Midwifery current standing date
March 1
Program-specific latest evidence; CASPer and video-interview windows are separately scheduled.
Second-language teaching current standing date
June 30
Program-specific latest evidence, not a university-wide or Fall 2027-confirmed date.
French evidence audit
Outside-Quebec evidence
Applicants educated outside Quebec must submit a valid result from a recognized French test unless an explicit exemption applies.
TIFEI after admission
UQTR can assign its online TIFEI; once taken, it cannot be retaken and another result is not accepted afterward.
Completion window
Required French upgrading must be completed within 11 months or the student can be excluded.
Quebec evidence
A French Quebec DEC normally uses the uniform French examination; some other Quebec routes use TIFEQ or named French courses.
Published direct thresholds
The official threshold regulation lists examples such as TFI 750+, TEF 700+, TCF 500+, and DELF/DALF B2 or higher.
Current outside-Quebec admission
Twelve-year credentials can require a preparatory year
The preparatory year supplies the thirteenth year for eligible outside-Quebec applicants and adds program-specific course blocks.

Current versus latest threshold evidence
Current TIFEI instructions and older threshold table differ in emphasis
The current live page emphasizes submitting a recognized result and UQTR’s assigned TIFEI, while the official threshold regulation supplies detailed external-test bands.
Follow the current admission decision and program instructions rather than treating the historical table as the only live route.

Programs and Pathways
Program and campus fit
Separate preparatory, direct, selective, and regional routes
UQTR’s catalogue includes more than 400 programs, but admission rules belong to the exact program. Chiropractic, Midwifery, Physiotherapy, Engineering, and regional-campus options illustrate why one general threshold or delivery promise would be misleading.
Preparatory year
Adds the thirteenth year for eligible applicants whose prior credential represents 12 years of schooling.
Boundary: The resulting bachelor is normally four years; engineering can be five, and assigned course blocks vary by program.
Doctor of Chiropractic
A 245-credit, fall-only professional doctorate with 47 places and multiple selection stages.
Boundary: Current selection uses academics, CASPer, and interview evidence; eligibility does not guarantee admission.
Midwifery
A 132-credit, fall-only program with 30 places plus one designated First Nations or Inuit Quebec place.
Boundary: The current route is restricted to Quebec candidates and uses file review, CASPer, and an automated video interview.
Integrated physiotherapy
An integrated bachelor-master route using 70% academic record and 30% CASPer in current selection.
Boundary: Prior recent enrolment in a Quebec physiotherapy or rehabilitation program can make an applicant ineligible.
Electrical and computer engineering
The current page publishes a CRC 24 route and reviews CRC 22 to below 24 for possible courses d’appoint.
Boundary: This threshold belongs to the named engineering program, not every UQTR degree.
Biological and ecological sciences
Offers field and laboratory learning, an optional paid internship, small groups, and some DEC-BAC pathways.
Boundary: Transfer credit and internship eligibility depend on the individual dossier and program progression.
Regional-campus programs
Selected programs operate at Drummondville, Québec, L’Assomption, Terrebonne, Joliette, and Longueuil.
Boundary: The main Trois-Rivières campus has the broadest range; a program at one location should not be assumed available at another.
Seven locations, distinct lists
Trois-Rivières has the broadest catalogue. Drummondville, Québec, L’Assomption, Terrebonne, Joliette, and Longueuil carry selected offerings, so the location named by the current program page must control.
Current program
Chiropractic is a 245-credit professional doctorate
The current program is fall-only, full-time, and publishes 47 places, including a maximum of five francophone places outside Quebec.

Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes
Co-op, stages, and campus life
Work-integrated learning is program-specific
UQTR uses dual study-work formats, internships, and practica. Paid company time is explicit in selected Drummondville programs; other placements have their own credit, GPA, authorization, employer, and compensation rules.
Drummondville mechanical engineering
The final two years combine two paid company days each week with paid summer placements, for nearly 3,000 experience hours.
Drummondville computer science
The dual route publishes two placements and four paid company courses.
Business administration internship
A minimum 270 hours with at least 70% of duties in the concentration; the employer sets compensation.
Second-language teaching
Four mandatory practica; the fourth requires 90 credits and a 2.2/4.3 cumulative average.
Social Communication
Internship access requires 67 credits and a 2.7/4.3 average; international students need appropriate work authorization.

Career Planning
| Experiential Learning | Check whether your target program offers co-op, internships, clinical placements, practicums, studios, field schools, or research terms. |
|---|---|
| Career Services | Compare job boards, employer partnerships, resume support, interview preparation, and alumni mentoring. |
| Research Access | For graduate-school or professional-school pathways, look for undergraduate research assistant roles and lab access. |
| Outcome Questions | Ask where graduates work or study next, and whether outcomes differ by program, co-op stream, or campus. |
UQTR applicants need to distinguish Quebec DEC entry from outside-Quebec 13-year preparation, 12-year credentials requiring a preparatory year, university studies, and knowledge-and-experience admission. They should apply the exact program’s French, academic, testing, interview, capacity, and campus conditions; treat September 1 and March 1 as latest standing guidance rather than confirmed Fall 2027 dates; keep 2027–2028 costs and Fall 2027 housing pending; and distinguish selected paid dual-study formats from internships, practica, and other work-integrated learning.
