Admission Requirements for Civil Engineering

Program Type

Competitive Program, Quota Program — Entry is competitive and selective, and the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of places available. Applicants who meet the stated minimum requirements are not guaranteed admission to these programs. Closing dates for applications are stringently applied.

Concentration

• Option
• Co-op Option (MEP/ECP applicants may apply for co-op only following successful completion of their first term of study. Transfer students with above-average grades will be considered for co-op on an individual basis.)

Program Requirements*

• Cegep Students including Three-Year Technical DEC:
  • CHEM-101 or 202-NYA;
  • MATH-103 or 201-NYA and 203 or 201-NYB and 105 or 201-NYC
  • PHYS-101 or 203-NYA and 201 or 203-NYB
• Non-Cegep Students:
  • Calculus I and II, Linear Algebra, Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, General Chemistry I

Particular attention is paid to grades in mathematics, sciences and courses applicable to the intended program of study. Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements will be reviewed holistically.

*Notes:

• Students will be required to take and complete all prerequisite program requirements during their first year of study.
• Any missing prerequisites will be added onto the program at Concordia.
• Applicants from a three-year technical DEC may be eligible for transfer credits based on course equivalencies.
• Minimum of 65% for exemptions for Math and Physics. Students with grades of less than 65% in prerequisite courses will be asked to repeat those courses in addition to the program.

Minimum Cut-off Averages

(Minimum Cut-Off Averages: Should be used as indicators. Data may change depending on the quality of the application pool )

• Cegep: Overall CRC 24.00
• Canadian/U.S. High Schools & International Secondary Schools: 80% or B- equivalent
• External Transfers: Minimum 2.5 GPA (Transfer credits may be considered on a course-by-course basis or by challenge exams.)
• International Bacc. (IB): A minimum total of 27 points and completion of mathematics and sciences at the Higher Level
