Program details
Overview
Technologie de la géomatique (230.BO), présenté sur le site du Cégep de l'Outaouais sous le nom Cartographie et arpentage, est un DEC technique offert au campus Gabrielle-Roy, à admission automnale et sans contingentement, qui forme des technologues polyvalents appelés à collecter, traiter, analyser, gérer et diffuser des données géospatiales utilisées notamment en environnement, en sécurité publique, en télécommunications, en santé, en géomarketing et en ressources naturelles. Le programme propose deux profils distincts, la cartographie et l'arpentage: en cartographie, la personne diplômée élabore des documents cartographiques et programme des applications géospatiales, tandis qu'en arpentage, elle réalise des levés de terrain, implante des points de référence et conçoit des plans. La formation couvre la télédétection par imagerie satellite, la photogrammétrie à partir d'images aériennes ou de drones, les systèmes d'information géographique, la programmation et la gestion de bases de données, ainsi que l'utilisation du GPS et de stations totales sur le terrain. Un stage obligatoire est prévu en sixième session, avec possibilité de stages additionnels en alternance travail-études durant l'été. Le programme convient aux personnes curieuses, rigoureuses, intéressées par la géographie et les nouvelles technologies, à l'aise seules ou en équipe, au bureau comme en plein air.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program's own page (Campus Gabrielle-Roy) does not list a program-specific secondary-course prerequisite beyond the general DES/DEP admission conditions, and links to the college's general admission conditions for that baseline. The program is not subject to a capacity limit (non contingenté). It includes a mandatory internship in the 6th session, plus optional paid work-study internships over the summer. Program length: 6 sessions (3 years). For international applicants, admission runs through SRAM: candidates applying from outside Canada are considered for the Fall session only (application deadline 14 March) and need an average of at least 3.7 on the Bright French test, while those already in Canada on temporary status apply as regular candidates (recommended deadlines 1 March for Fall entry and 1 November for Winter entry) and need at least 3.5. The French test is mandatory in every DEC program at Cégep de l'Outaouais, even for candidates already schooled in French. Domestic applicants must hold a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES), or a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) with the required secondary courses, or training the college judges equivalent, and apply through admission.sram.qc.ca.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the equal-consideration date is 1 March 2027, with later rounds around late April and late May while seats remain; Winter 2027 entry opened 15 September 2026, with an equal-consideration date of 1 November 2026 and a second round on 25 November 2026. Cégep de l'Outaouais accepts international applicants for the Fall intake only: the college's FAQ fixes the international deadline at 14 March of the admission year, i.e. 14 March 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, and it publishes no winter international deadline. Admission is rolling round to round within SRAM's system until each round's seats are filled, but the international date is firm. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
