Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe is a public collegial institution on a single campus in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, offering two-year pre-university and three-year technical Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) programs alongside adult and continuing education.

Pre-university streams include natural sciences, sciences-computing-mathematics, several human sciences profiles, arts-letters-communication, visual and media arts, and a combined sciences-letters-arts program. Technical DEC programs concentrate in health and life sciences (dental hygiene, dietetics, biomedical laboratory technology, animal health, nursing, prehospital emergency care, laboratory techniques), engineering and construction (civil engineering technology, building engineering technology), early-childhood education, business (financial services and insurance, administration and management), computing, and performing arts (theatrical interpretation and stage production).

A Tremplin DEC pathway readies students for regular programs, and the continuing-education service offers Attestation d'études collégiales (AEC) training, in part through partner sites. Instruction is in French.

The college runs an on-site dental hygiene clinic serving the public, fields varsity teams under the name Les Lauréats, supports student entrepreneurship through an in-house academy, and carries out research and innovation activity alongside its regular teaching.

It suits students seeking either university-transfer preparation or direct entry into a technical health, business, engineering or arts career from the Saint-Hyacinthe region.

Academic Details

Cegep de Saint Hyacinthe's academic profile in numbers — useful for sizing the institution against your shortlist. Each figure links to a different facet of how the institution operates day to day.

Admission Requirements: DOMESTIC APPLICANTS How to apply. The Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) - which handles admissions for the Montérégie cégeps, Saint-Hyacinthe included - processes every application at admission.sram.qc.ca. Have your permanent code (from a Ministry transcript) ready, follow the on-screen steps, then submit; only one SRAM file is opened per applicant, covering all three admission rounds. A $30 admission fee is charged by Visa/Mastercard, bank/postal money order, or a certified cheque payable to SRAM. Interprétation théâtrale has its own extra step - an audition and workshops must be completed before the SRAM application is filed; see the École de théâtre's own site. Academic basis. A Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or equivalent is the general entry basis, plus any subject prerequisites a specific program sets (published on that program's own page). French proficiency at admission. The Cégep tracks French mastery closely. If your 5th-secondary written French mark was 65% or lower and your overall average was under 75%, you will be placed in the upgrading course 601-013-HY before you can take your program's general-education French courses. You must sit a French-mastery test at the time of application if you did not take the regular 5th-secondary courses, or if you studied outside Quebec; a dictée-based French test can also be imposed if you have not taken a college-level French course in over a year. If your secondary schooling was outside Quebec and your mother tongue is not French, you must sit an international French test and upload the results to your SRAM file - the College's recommended test is Bright - or your application may be refused. English placement: every admitted student sits an English placement test that sets which level of English course they take. Graduation language requirement (not an admission condition). Since 1 January 1998, students must pass the province-wide épreuve uniforme de langue - testing reading/writing competence in the language of instruction - to obtain the DEC and to be admitted to university; the result can lead to an imposed French upgrading course. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS How to apply. Same SRAM portal and process as above, plus a CAQ (Certificat d'acceptation du Québec) from Quebec's immigration ministry and a Canadian study permit from IRCC once the CAQ issues. Language. SRAM's required-documents page lists the tests it accepts without setting one network-wide score: French - Bright, TCF tout public (TCF Québec and TCF Canada are NOT accepted), DELF tout public niveau B2 or DALF, TEF (TEF Express, TEF Québec and TEF Canada are NOT accepted); English - TOEFL (IBT or PBT only), IELTS Academic, PTE Academic, CAEL, Bright Five Star, Duolingo. Saint-Hyacinthe's own page does not set a separate network-wide score of its own beyond naming Bright as its recommended French test for applicants schooled outside Quebec in a language other than French.
