Admission Requirements

Applicants from Quebec Institutions

Quebec applicants must have successfully completed a two-year pre-university program in a CEGEP institution and qualify for a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) or equivalent. Applicants who have completed a three-year professional program in a CEGEP institution or have obtained a French or International Baccalaureate are also eligible for consideration.

CEGEP records of applicants must include the specific courses in the appropriate profile, as follows:

BEng in Software Engineering and BCompSc in Computer Systems Option CEGEP Profile required:

  • Chemistry 101 or 202-NYA (General Chemistry);
  • Mathematics 103 or 201-NYA (Calculus I);
  • Mathematics 203 or 201-NYB (Calculus II);
  • Mathematics 105 or 201-NYC (Linear Algebra);
  • Physics 101 or 203-NYA (Mechanics);
  • Physics 201 or 203-NYB (Electricity and Magnetism).

BCompSc (Computer Applications, Computation Arts, Computer Games, Information Systems, Mathematics and Statistics, Software Systems, and Web Services and Applications Options; and Minor in Computer Science) CEGEP Profile required:

  • Mathematics 103 or 201-NYA (Calculus I)
  • Mathematics 203 or 201-NYB (Calculus II)
  • Mathematics 105 or 201-NYC (Linear Algebra)

Applications from graduates of CEGEP technology programs will also be considered. Program requirements for successful applicants will be determined on an individual basis. Further information regarding undergraduate admission requirements is available here.

Applicants from Other Canadian Provinces

Academic qualifications presented by students applying from institutions outside Quebec should be comparable to those expected of students applying from within Quebec.

Graduates of secondary schools in Canadian provinces and territories other than Quebec are considered for admission to the Extended Credit Program (ECP) at Concordia. The ECP requires completion of 30 credits in addition to the regular requirements. The duration of a degree program is normally four years of full-time study to complete for BCompSc and five years of full-time study to complete for BEng in Software Engineering.

Applicants from Outside Canada

In general, candidates who have completed the level of education required for admission to university in their home country and have achieved good grades are eligible to apply for admission. Further information regarding international admission requirements is available here.

Transfers from Other Universities

Transfer applicants are considered on the basis of both their university and previous studies. If you are transferring from another accredited university, you will be considered for an appropriate level of placement within the undergraduate program at this University.

Credit may be awarded for university- level courses that are equivalent to Concordia courses and appropriate to the program to which you are applying. However, the evaluation of transfer credit cannot be made until a formal application and all necessary supporting documents have been received.

There are, however, some special conditions attached to the granting of transfer credits. The number of credits awarded depends on the character, quality and quantity of the work completed. Further information regarding transfer credits is available here.

Minimum Cut-off Averages

  • CEGEP Overall CRC: 24.000
  • Canadian and U.S. High Schools/International Secondary Schools: Overall 75% or 2.7 GPA
  • Post-Secondary Transfers: Overall: Min. 2.5/B- or greater
