Collège Lionel-Groulx is a public cégep in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, operating from a single campus at 100, rue Duquet.

Instruction is in French. The college offers three streams typical of the Quebec collegial system: pre-university programs preparing students for university transfer, technical programs preparing students directly for the labour market, and continuing education leading to Attestations of Collegiate Studies (AEC).

Its pre-university offerings span Sciences of Nature, Science, Social Sciences, Arts Letters and Communication, Music with three profiles, and Visual Arts, while its technical programs include Nursing, Early Childhood Education, Theatrical Interpretation, Information Technology, and Agricultural Technology, reflecting six broad program families the college organizes around: arts and creative fields, engineering and technology, agriculture and horticulture, management and administration, human services, and sciences and health. A Sport-Études pathway lets student-athletes combine competitive sport with academic study.

The college maintains on-campus student residences and dedicated support for international students, and its facilities include a library, a theatre, a sports complex, an early-childhood centre, and a student-run cooperative store.

Collège Lionel-Groulx suits recent secondary-school graduates seeking either a university-transfer pathway or direct entry into a technical career, adult learners returning through continuing education, and student-athletes balancing sport with collegial studies.

Round-1 deadlines: 1 March for a Fall start, 1 November for a Winter start. Academic basis. You qualify for a DEC program by holding one of: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES), subject to any program-specific admission conditions; a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) plus passes in 5th-secondary language of instruction, 5th-secondary second language and 4th-secondary mathematics; training the College judges equivalent; or training and experience the College judges sufficient, with at least 24 cumulative months outside full-time study. Every candidate must also show adequate spoken and written French and, where required, meet the College's own French-language evaluation criteria (a start-of-studies upgrading course can be imposed). Anyone without a francophone-sector DES must pass the French-knowledge test the College has adopted for this purpose - the Bright test - scoring at least 3.7 in the written part, the oral part, and overall; details on the Bright test are posted on its own website. Program-specific conditions. Beyond the general conditions, individual programs can add their own Ministry-set subject prerequisites (listed on each program's own page and in the Guide des programmes) and College-set conditions such as auditions, tests or interviews; some programs also cap available seats.

INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS How to apply. International (non-Canadian) applicants intending to complete a full program at Lionel-Groulx apply through SRAM's international stream - first check SRAM's list of programs open to international students at the College for the term you want, then submit through admission.sram.qc.ca.
