Program details
Overview
Tremplin DEC - Enseignement du français pour diplômés hors Québec is a college bridging pathway at Collège de Rosemont for students educated outside Quebec who need to strengthen their French before pursuing postsecondary studies in the province. Rather than granting a diploma of its own, the pathway prepares students for later admission into a regular DEC program. Coursework combines two French upgrading courses, a course on effective study methods for higher education, and a course introducing students to Quebec culture and the realities of the local migration experience; the four courses are compulsory and none can be dropped without cancelling the session. The French upgrading courses total 16 hours of instruction per week, while the methodology and cultural-integration courses each represent three hours per week. Classes run during the day, Monday to Thursday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., in small groups intended to ease exchange among students and support integration into college life and Quebec culture. The pathway typically lasts one to three sessions and suits recent immigrants or internationally educated applicants who hold a secondary diploma but need stronger French skills before entering a full DEC program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a Quebec secondary school diploma (DES) or vocational diploma (DEP) and satisfying the general conditions of the Régime des études collégiales in effect, matching Collège de Rosemont's institution-wide entry conditions. No French-proficiency test score is published for entry, because the pathway itself exists to raise a student's French to the level needed for post-secondary study: it comprises two French upgrading courses, a study-methods course, and a course on integration into Quebec culture, totalling 16 hours of instruction per week, with all four courses mandatory. The programme is built for people already schooled outside Quebec and explicitly does not admit applicants without the legal right to reside in Canada, unlike the college's regular international-student stream described on its own International Students page. Applications are processed through the SRAM regional admission service, with intakes at both the Fall and Winter sessions.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: Fall 2027 entry's first-round deadline is 1 March 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens 15 September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also apply through SRAM: the Fall 2027 deadline is 14 March 2027; the Winter 2027 international window already closed 31 May 2026, so the live one is Winter 2028 entry, closing 31 May 2027. Because of Quebec's international quota, Collège de Rosemont opened only seven programmes to international students for 2026-2027 — Techniques de l'informatique, Techniques d'administration et de gestion, Techniques de recherche et de gestion de données, Techniques d'aménagement et d'urbanisme, Arts lettres et communication, Sciences humaines, and Histoire et civilisation. Admission is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
