Program details
Overview
Computer Science Technology is a technical Diploma of College Studies (DEC technique, 420.B1/420.B2) offered at Cegep Limoilou, with two profiles: Application Development and Network Management. The Application Development profile covers web and object-oriented programming, database design, game technologies, and application security. The Network Management profile covers the design, configuration, maintenance, and monitoring of network infrastructure, along with network architecture, servers, and data security. Students who begin in the winter session instead of fall follow an extended path of seven sessions. Graduates of the DEP Soutien informatique program may be eligible for course credit toward this DEC, and a DEC-BAC bridging pathway is available for students continuing into a related bachelor's degree. The program suits students who enjoy solving problems logically and creatively, want to understand how applications or network infrastructure work behind the scenes, are interested in building their own applications or automating tasks, and prefer collaborative, project-based technical work. It prepares students for either applications-focused or infrastructure-focused roles in the computing field, or for further study in computer science or related university programs.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Computer Science Technology (Informatique, 420.B1/420.B2) follows Cégep Limoilou's general DEC admission conditions (Quebec DES, or DEP plus Secondary 4 Mathematics, Secondary 5 English and Secondary 5 French, or equivalent training or experience) with a programme-specific mathematics prerequisite: Secondary 4 Mathematics TS or SN, or Secondary 5 CST, for the standard pathway. Applicants entering the DEC-BAC pathway need Secondary 5 Mathematics TS or SN instead, and applicants coming from the DEP-DEC pathway must hold a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) in IT Support (Soutien informatique). Students who completed their studies under the former curriculum should check the SRACQ equivalency table for the matching prerequisite. No English or French language test, minimum grade average, portfolio or interview is stated on the programme page.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (Service regional d'admission au college de Quebec) at sracq.qc.ca: for the Fall 2027 (August) intake the college runs four admission rounds closing 1 March, 1 May, 1 June and 1 August 2027, each later round admitting only while seats remain, and for Winter 2027 (January) entry - offered on every DEC programme except Nursing - rounds close around 1 November, 1 December 2026 and early January 2027 (the site states only that round-3 course confirmation and fee payment are due 13 January 2027, not the application deadline itself, so an exact round-3 cut-off date cannot be quoted). International applicants of any nationality must submit their DEC application by 1 February 2027 for the August 2027 intake; the Cegep publishes no separate deadline for a January start. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
