Published R score thresholds
| Threshold type | R score | Term | Applicant category | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Required minimum R score | 22 | Fall 2026 | CEGEP applicants (Quebec) | Source |
Footnote to the “Admission Statistics” block: “The minimum R score is the one required for Fall 2026 admission on the basis of college studies” — REQUIRED threshold (minimum). Same block (R scores of admitted applicants, as of July 9, 2026): average 29.997; maximum 38.399. Applications and places not published.
Prerequisites
Basis of admission
- DEC (Quebec CEGEP applicants)
- DEC + at least 12 university credits (university applicants)
- At least 24 university credits completed, without a DEC (university credits basis)
- Education obtained outside Quebec deemed equivalent to a DEC
- Preparatory year completed (minimum 24 credits by the end of the preceding winter term, for admission in the fall)
Eligible DECs and their conditions
- Science, Literature and Arts (700.A1 or 700.A0)
- Natural Sciences (200.B1 or 200.B0), with competency 0C0F or objective 00XV in chemistry
- Laboratory Techniques: Analytical Chemistry (210.A0 or 210.AB)
Required prerequisite courses
- General Chemistry
- Chemistry of Solutions
- Organic Chemistry
- Mathematics: linear algebra and vector geometry, differential calculus (Calculus I), integral calculus (Calculus II)
- Physics: mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and modern physics
- Biology: none required
A holder of a technical DEC may be granted course exemptions (contact the department). Specializations offered in the 3rd year: health chemistry, environmental chemistry, energy and materials chemistry. Selection: excellence of the academic record, the only criterion. NOTE: the text of the program-specific conditions was retrieved via the search index of the major/minor in chemistry pages, with identical wording across programs.
Key dates
| Date | Deadline | Applicant category |
|---|---|---|

If you're not eligible yet
- R score below the required threshold of 22.000
- Missing prerequisite courses (chemistry, mathematics, physics depending on the DEC of origin)
Official pathways
Bridging courses (UdeM)
UdeM bridging program (with a DEC) allowing students to take the missing preparatory courses (chemistry CHM 1963 and CHM 1982, mathematics, physics), then submit an application to the intended program.
Minor in Arts and Sciences (UdeM)
For a DEC holder who is missing prerequisites in only one or two subjects.
Prerequisite courses at a CEGEP
Take the missing courses at the college level, then submit a new application.
General pathways published by UdeM (page “Completing the prerequisite courses”): prerequisites taken at a CEGEP, at UdeM or at another university institution; they can be declared in the application if not completed at the time of submission; a conditional offer of admission is possible.
