Official Concordia wording: "Minimum cut-off averages" — published minimum cut-offs, to be used as indicators; the page specifies that the cut-offs can change depending on the applicant pool and that meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission.
Per-subject minimum published by Concordia (R score "mathematics"). Official Concordia wording: "Minimum cut-off averages" — published minimum cut-offs, to be used as indicators; the page specifies that the cut-offs can change depending on the applicant pool and that meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission.

Prerequisites
Basis of admission
- Pre-university DEC (2 years)
- Eligible technical DEC (3 years) — see notes
Eligible DECs and their conditions
- 420.A0/BO/AA
Required prerequisite courses
- General Chemistry 1 (Chimie générale)
- Calculus 1 (Calcul différentiel)
- Calculus 2 (Calcul intégral)
- Linear Algebra (Algèbre linéaire)
- Mechanics (Physique : Mécanique)
- Electricity and Magnetism (Physique : Électricité et magnétisme)
Eligible technical DECs (3 years): 420.A0/BO/AA — their holders may be admitted without the listed prerequisites; if the prerequisites were taken, the per-subject minimums apply (26 in mathematics, 25 in physics). Recognition of prior learning (advanced standing) possible.
Key dates
| Date | Deadline | Applicant category |
|---|---|---|
| November 1, 2026 | Application — winter entry (offered depending on the program; Concordia gives priority to applications submitted before the official deadline and considers late applications if seats remain) | CEGEP applicants (Quebec) |
| March 1, 2027 | Application — fall entry | CEGEP applicants (Quebec) |
If you're not eligible yet
- Overall or per-subject (mathematics/physics) R score below the published minimums
- Missing prerequisite courses (chemistry, calculus, linear algebra, physics) — except holders of an eligible technical DEC
Official pathways
Missing prerequisites: admission possible, prerequisites to be completed
Concordia's official R score page indicates that applicants who are missing certain prerequisite courses may still be eligible for admission ("Applicants missing some of the prerequisite courses may still be eligible for admission"), while recommending completing as many prerequisites as possible at CEGEP. The missing prerequisites are then completed at university, depending on the program.
Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program (First Nations, Inuit, Métis)
Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program: First Nations, Inuit and Métis students who do not meet Concordia's usual admission requirements may be eligible through this bridging program, mentioned on the engineering program pages.
Extended Credit Program — 30 additional credits (mainly outside Quebec)
Extended Credit Program (ECP): 30 additional credits beyond the regular program. Published by Concordia mainly for applicants whose pre-university schooling is shorter than Quebec's (outside Quebec); for the BA/BEd and BSc programs, the calendar details the ECP's mandatory courses (mathematics, science, PSYC 205 for the BSc in psychology, etc.).
Mature Entry Program (without a DEC only)
Adult entry program (Mature Entry Program): at least 18 preparatory/supplementary credits in the absence of a DEC. Important official RESTRICTION for our audience: holders of a Quebec DEC or the equivalent are NOT eligible for mature entry (Undergraduate Calendar, section 14). This pathway is therefore intended for applicants without a DEC, not for CEGEP graduates.
No numerical quota or number of seats published on the official pages consulted.
