How to apply for undergraduate studies

What is a degree?

Quebec college and high school applicants

  • Students completing a Quebec Secondary V Diploma are not directly admissible to undergraduate programs. Learn more about admission to Mature Entry.
  • Students in Quebec schools studying other curricula (such as Ontario, IB, etc.) should consult admissions requirements for their curriculum.
  • Collège international Marie de France and Collège Stanislas applicants will be reviewed on their French Baccalaureate grades.
  • Lower Canada College and Stanstead College applicants will be reviewed on their grade 12 school transcripts and/or IB predicted grades.
  • Alexander von Humboldt German International School applicants will be reviewed on their Abitur (DIAP) grades.

Concordia/CEGEP articulation agreements

Concordia is proud to offer Articulation Agreements with several CEGEPs. An articulation agreement allows students of designated DEC programs to obtain either course exemptions or advanced standing credits in a bachelor's degree program at Concordia.

CEGEP equivalencies

If you attended CEGEP you may be entitled to a course exemption. Courses you may be exempt from, depending on your academic background, are listed below.

If you believe you may qualify to have a prerequisite course waived, on the understanding that you have already taken an equivalent course, you may submit a prerequisite waiver form.

*Course equivalencies can vary by CEGEP.
