Requirements
Admission Requirements: For domestic applicants the page lists three accepted secondary credentials: the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent; Quebec's Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES); or New Brunswick's Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES). Applicants 19 or older without a diploma may instead pass La Cité's French-language mature-applicant test. Ontario applicants also need Grade 11 or 12 mathematics (MCR3U, MCF3M or MAP4C; MCT4C is recommended); Quebec applicants need TS 064406, SN 065406, Mathématique 436, or the Secondary 5 CST mathematics course; New Brunswick applicants need mathematics course 30321B (30411B is recommended). A candidate short of the mathematics requirement may instead pass the numeracy test on the Compétences pour réussir platform or the college's preparatory mathematics course. International applicants must hold a secondary-school diploma or baccalaureate, or be in their final year of secondary school with proof of enrolment. La Cité describes its admission process as competitive because of limited capacity, and states that admission is never guaranteed even when every published requirement is met. Instruction is in French; the page gives no minimum GPA or language-test score.
Application Details
Start Date:Starts in autumn (September) or winter (January). La Cité's international application guide adds that a programme begun in winter carries a compulsory spring term.
Application Deadline:No fixed cut-off published for this programme. La Cité classes it as a regular (non-quota) programme, which means it keeps taking applications while places remain and makes an offer once the file is complete.

Many programmes carry on accepting applicants after that date on a first-come basis until they fill or open a waiting list, so check the college's programme-availability table before you apply. International applicants: La Cite's programme-availability table for international candidates, read 6 September 2026, shows this programme as closed for September 2026, open for January 2027, not offered for May 2027 and not yet posted for September 2027.
