APPLICATION FOLLOW-UP

 

Thank you for considering Champlain – St. Lawrence in Quebec City for your college studies! St. Lawrence is a public CEGEP, with fees comparable to other CEGEPs in the Quebec City region, but offering the opportunity of studying in English.

Our admissions are processed directly at St. Lawrence as we are not a member of the Service régional d'admission au collégial de Québec (SRACQ). You must apply directly to St. Lawrence. This allows you to apply to St. Lawrence and another CEGEP before making your final decision.

St. Lawrence also offers specific services to aid in smoothing your transition from High school to CEGEP and from English to French 

  • We provide you with the possibility to have a reduced course load over more semesters
  • We can direct you to complementary courses that help you explore your options
  • We can arrange for you to attend helpful workshops during your semester.

 

If you are accepted to the college and are interested in these types of services, you can contact our Academic Advisor.

We also offer a growing number of programs and courses through Continuing Education.

In addition to these programs, St. Lawrence offers a semester-long transition to college studies, for students who need more time to prepare before entering a regular DEC program:

 

Starting in Fall 2024, there will be three parallel course sequences for each program and profile.

If you are eligible to attend English school under the Charter of the French language and are in possession of a certificate granted by the Ministry of Education, you are considered a Certificate Holder. Your course sequence will then be determined by your results in the high school French course (1-2 or 3-4). For more information about Certificates, please consult the Ministry of Education’s website.

If you are not eligible, you must follow the course sequence that prepares students for l'Épreuve uniforme de français (EUF - French minesterial language evalution).

 

For a brief overview of the changes to course sequences following Law 14, consult this document.

Full course sequences will be published in the coming days.
