Program details
Overview
Techniques de la documentation (393.B0) is a three-year technical DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that prepares students to describe, classify, retrieve, and circulate documents and information resources, mainly within libraries and administrative records-management services. Coursework covers current standards for bibliographic description, classification, and indexing, along with the integrated document-management systems used in libraries and by organizations managing administrative records and archives. Students work with specialized documentation software in dedicated computer labs and take part in projects, company visits, and meetings with professionals in the field. An observation activity begins in the first term, and the sixth term is devoted to a supervised internship and a capstone project. The program suits students with strong organizational skills and attention to detail who want a career serving the public in libraries or managing information within organizations. Graduates can pursue further study through a recognized pathway with Université de Moncton, which credits the DEC toward a bachelor's degree in information management, or continue via other university transfer agreements verified through the program's academic advising service.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page for Techniques de la documentation (393.B0) states only that applicants must meet Cégep de Trois-Rivières' general college admission conditions, without listing any programme-specific secondary-school courses. Those general conditions require a DES from the youth or adult sector, or a DEP with secondary 5 language of instruction, secondary 5 second language, and secondary 4 mathematics completed; admission is conditional until the DES is confirmed, with eligibility reassessed at the start of the year for anyone still short. The language requirement is satisfied through these DES-embedded courses, and the college publishes no separate IELTS, TOEFL, or French-test score. Applications go through the SRAM network (admission.sram.qc.ca). No interview, portfolio, work-experience, or minimum-average requirement is stated on the programme page.
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.
