Requirements

Admission Requirements: This programme page only points to Cégep de Sherbrooke's general admission conditions, administered through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca). Domestically that requires a Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES), or a record the Cégep judges equivalent (including studies completed outside Quebec); DES holders from before 2010 or the adult-education stream are still admitted but must complete levelling activities (mise à niveau) for any missing language, second-language or mathematics units by their first or second session. International applicants apply via SRAM as an International Candidate and, unless they are French citizens, must submit a French-language test result meeting Sherbrooke's own minimums: Bright Canada average 3.7, TCF tout public 484, DELF tout public B2 75.7, DALF 50, or TEF 479/699. Sciences humaines (300.M0) additionally requires secondary 4 Mathematics (CST 4e or Mathématique 416). This two-year program admits in both the Autumn and Winter sessions.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM), which also covers cégeps outside the Montreal region: Winter 2027 entry opens 15 September 2026, with a round-one deadline of 1 November 2026 and a round-two deadline of 25 November 2026; Fall 2027 entry follows SRAM's recurring round-one deadline of 1 March 2027, though the cégep's site has not yet posted a dated row for that cycle (its Fall 2026 table is marked as closed). International applicants follow a separate SRAM timeline, confirmed directly on the cégep's site: Fall 2027 applications run from 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027, and Winter 2028 applications run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is not open-ended rolling, but SRAM runs successive rounds for as long as places remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
