Transfer credits for technical DECs
Your CEGEP experience can take you further.
If you have completed an eligible technical DEC, you may be able to receive transfer credits toward your undergraduate degree at Concordia, giving you a head start on your university studies and helping you complete your degree in less time.
Transfer credits are awarded at the time of admission and added to your academic record when you begin your studies at Concordia. No separate application is required. We’ll automatically review your file to determine if you are eligible for transfer credits. Transfer credits are not available to students enrolling in a certificate program.
To receive these transfer credits, you must graduate from an eligible technical DEC listed below. Transfer credits are awarded only upon completion of the eligible technical DEC and are not awarded for partial completion of the program.
The transfer credits awarded for completing an eligible technical DEC can be used toward any undergraduate degree program at Concordia. If the credits are not in the same discipline as your degree program, they may be used as electives. However, in some cases transfer credits may not apply toward your program requirements.
Completing one of these programs in CEGEP does not guarantee admission to Concordia. Be sure to review the admission requirements for your program of choice.
