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 (MBF3C, MAP4C, MCR3U or MCF3M); Quebec applicants need CST 63404, TS 064406, SN 065406, or Mathématique 416; New Brunswick applicants need mathematics course 30321A. 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.
