Requirements
Admission Requirements: Collège Mérici requires the general DEC entry standing for this Business Administration and Management Techniques (Entrepreneurial profile) programme: a Secondary 5 transcript from Quebec's Ministère de l'Éducation or the recognized equivalent, a $50 admission fee, and certified transcripts covering the applicant's last three years of study; candidates who did not study in French in Canada, France, Belgium, Monaco, or an accredited French lycée abroad must also submit French-language test results.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to Collège Mérici, a private CEGEP, can begin applying online for the Automne 2027 intake starting 15 September 2026, per the college's own admissions announcement. No closing date, equal-consideration date, or program-specific deadline is published anywhere on the site: Mérici's admission and international pages are built as a client-side JavaScript application whose content could not be retrieved through a browser-UA fetch or an archived copy. No distinct international-applicant deadline, process, or statement on rolling admission is published either. Whether seats are filled on a rolling basis could not be confirmed from the institution's own pages and would need to be checked directly with its admissions office. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
