Program details
Overview
Préalables universitaires (SRAM code 080.04) is not a diploma program but a course-completion pathway offered at Cégep de Trois-Rivières for people who already hold a college diploma (DEC), or for adults, who need to complete specific courses required for admission to a particular university program. It is not open to students coming directly from secondary school. Only the courses listed for each admitted student's individual plan are available; no general-education or upgrading courses are offered through this pathway. Before applying, prospective students are expected to confirm with the college's individual academic advising service that the course or courses they need can actually be scheduled. Once admitted, students receive personalized follow-up from academic advisors and support professionals, can pursue individual guidance with a career counsellor, and have access to dedicated math and science help centres as well as workshops on study skills such as note-taking, time management, and stress management. The pathway suits DEC holders and adult learners who are missing one or more specific prerequisite courses for a university program of their choice and need a structured, supported route to complete them without repeating general coursework they have already finished.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Cheminement préalables universitaires at Cégep de Trois-Rivières is reserved for adults who already hold a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) or who need specific courses as prerequisites for a university program; the college's page states the pathway is not offered to students arriving directly from secondary school. Only the courses listed on the program's own course table are available, and no general-education or academic-upgrading courses are offered under this route. Before submitting an application through the SRAM network (admission.sram.qc.ca), applicants must contact the college's Service d'aide pédagogique individuelle ([email protected], 819-374-5096) to confirm the specific course(s) they need are actually being offered that term. No secondary-school course prerequisites, minimum grades, or French/English language test scores are published for this pathway, since it is a non-diploma course-taking route rather than a full DEC program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM): for Fall 2027 entry the equal-consideration date (1st round) is 1 March 2027, followed by a second round in early-to-mid April and a third around mid-to-late May, with the college noting exact round-2/3 dates vary slightly each year; Winter 2027 entry opened 15 September 2026 with a 1 November 2026 first-round deadline and a late-November second round. International applicants apply directly through SRAM as well and face a firm 14 March 2027 closing date for Fall 2027 day programmes, with the college advising early submission because of immigration-processing timelines; no separate winter international deadline is published. Admission proceeds round by round on a rolling basis until each round's seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
