Program details
Overview
Tremplin DEC (code 081.06) is a non-program transitional pathway offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at all three of its campuses, for students who want to think through their choice of program further, whose decision is not yet final, or who are missing prerequisites for the program they want to enter. Rather than enrolling directly in a specific program, students follow an individualized plan built in consultation with an academic advisor, made up of general-education and elective courses geared toward the program they are eventually likely to choose. A student may remain in the pathway for a maximum of three consecutive sessions, after which they must apply for admission to a specific program; admission to a program of choice can also be requested after any session, subject to availability. In the first session, students take common general-education courses in physical education, French writing and literature, and English, along with a psychostrategic-learning course; philosophy is added in the second session. No specific secondary-school prerequisite is required to enter the pathway. The program suits students leaving secondary school without a settled career direction, or who need extra time and guided general-education coursework before committing to a specific college program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Tremplin DEC (081.06), cheminement hors programme destiné aux personnes dont le choix de programme n'est pas arrêté ou à qui il manque des préalables pour le programme visé. Aucun cours préalable spécifique n'est exigé sur la page du programme ; l'admission repose par ailleurs sur la base générale du Cégep : le diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) — la personne titulaire d'un DES qui n'a pas réussi la langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, la langue seconde de 5e secondaire, les mathématiques de 4e secondaire, la science et technologie de 4e secondaire ou l'histoire de 4e secondaire peut se voir imposer des cours de mise à niveau — ou le diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) complété par la langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, la langue seconde de 5e secondaire et les mathématiques de 4e secondaire. La langue anglaise (604-10x-MQ, Langue anglaise I) fait partie des cours de formation générale de la première session, sans constituer un préalable d'admission. Le cheminement Tremplin DEC est limité à un maximum de trois sessions consécutives, après quoi l'étudiant ou l'étudiante doit présenter une demande d'admission à un programme précis. L'admission se fait exclusivement en ligne auprès du SRAM.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants to Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue apply through the shared SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca) serving Montréal-region cégeps. For Winter 2027, applications opened 15 September 2026, Round 1 closes 1 November 2026 and Round 2 closes 25 November 2026, with unfilled seats carried forward. SRAM has not yet posted Fall 2027 domestic dates. Internationally, SRAM's Fall 2027 window runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027; its next window (Winter 2028) runs 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is rolling by round, not a single fixed date.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
