For the French as language of instruction, Mathematics and Science and technology profiles, the 2026 column shows "---", whose PDF legend reads: "---: Unlimited eligibility" — no 2026 cutoff published for these profiles. This is NOT a required minimum score.

Official pathways

Open pathway — official recommendation: disciplinary faculty rather than education

BES admission page: "To get ahead in the pathway before admission to the BES, we suggest registering in the open pathway in the disciplinary faculty (FLSH or science) and not in the Faculty of Education"; disciplinary courses taken in advance can be transferred into the BES under certain conditions. The open pathway in the Department of Pedagogy is limited to four courses (two per term), subject to availability.

Source

Adult / no-DEC category

DES + 6 to 7 years out + postsecondary studies (one full-time CEGEP year or at least 12 university credits). Cumulative average below 2.0/4.3 in BES activities = automatic refusal (published note).

Source

Complete the prerequisites at CEGEP level

The prerequisite courses are coded CEGEP courses (e.g. 0M02, 0B01); the general UdeS page on missing prerequisites indicates that several CEGEP-level prerequisites can be completed through Cégep à distance.
