Once you have submitted your admission application to the program of your choice, we will process your application and you will be informed of our decision.

If you need to complete qualifying coursework, you will be notified. Successfully completing the qualifying coursework is a prerequisite for pursuing studies in the chosen program.

The duration of qualifying coursework varies depending on the number of qualifying courses and the level of language proficiency required by your program.

Admission subject to the completion of qualifying coursework is not permitted for most undergraduate programs that have limited enrolment or limited space. To be eligible for these programs, you must meet all admission requirements before beginning your studies.

Qualifying year

If you hold a pre-university diploma totalling 12 years of education, you may apply for admission to an unlimited enrolment program at Université Laval. You will then have to complete a qualifying year on campus. The year consists of 30 qualifying credits, with the possibility of 6 credits in the university program you have chosen, over two semesters.

Limited enrolment programs

If you hold a pre-university diploma totalling 12 years of education and wish to study in a limited enrolment program, you must first apply for admission to an unlimited enrolment program to complete the required qualifying year. Make sure to take all the prerequisite courses for your chosen limited enrolment program as part of your qualifying coursework.

Successfully completing the qualifying year and prerequisite courses does not guarantee admission to your chosen limited enrolment program. During your qualifying year, you will need to apply for admission to your chosen limited enrolment program, and your file will be evaluated according to the admission requirements and your application profile.
