Applying for admission to university
Deadlines
The normal academic year is divided into two sessions, the fall term(early
September to late December) and the winter term (early January to late April).
There are also spring and summer terms which offer fewer courses.
To be admitted at the undergraduate level, the university must receive your
duly completed application for admission:
- before March 1 for the upcoming fall term
- before November 1 for the winter term. (Since the
period required to obtain study authorizations is often extensive, it is best
to apply before August 1.)
For graduate studies, your application must be received before
February 1. Since the deadlines for admission to certain programs may be
earlier, it is best to confirm the dates with the university that you have chosen.
Late applications may be considered if the program is not subject to quotas.

PRACTICAL ADVICE |
|
 |
All stated deadlines are the same as for Québec students.

it is recommended you submit your application for the fall term in early
January. |

Procedure
Admission is based on consideration of your file. To apply to your chosen
university, you need to obtain the institution's application for admission.
The application form can be obtained either by mail or by downloading it from
the university's website. Some universities also allow you to apply online.
Your application for admission must include the following:
- your most recent transcript
- your birth certificate
- payment of the fee for evaluating your application (between C$30 and
C$100)
Certain disciplines may have other requirements or require additional documents:
portfolio, interview, audition, letters of interest, letters of recommendation,
etc.

USEFUL INFORMATION |
|
 |
Decisions pertaining to admission are often based on the
official preliminary results that are available when the files are being
reviewed. They also take into account the student's cumulative academic
record. Students who qualify by only a narrow margin are not assured of
being admitted into a program subject to a quota. |
