History

South entrance

In 1967, several institutions were merged and became public ones, when the Quebec system of CEGEPs was created. Established in 1968, it was composed of five distinct pavilions. Since 1976, it has been regrouped into a single, 11-story building, but with three secondary pavilions.

Programs

The CEGEP offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical. The pre-university programs, which take two years to complete, cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada in preparation for a chosen field in university as well as an introductory specialization that generally happens in freshman year. The technical programs, which take three years to complete, apply to students who wish to pursue a skill or trade. In addition continuing education and services to business are also provided.

Reputation

This Cegep is reputed for having very strong student movements: it is well known for the active student participation in strikes, taking part in every major student strike in Quebec since its inception, including the 2005 Quebec student strike. The recent 2012 strikes also saw the cegep play a central role.

Services

This College offers an adapted service to those who are disabled.
