Exact wording of the School of Nursing FAQ: "Students from the consortium colleges who have an R score of 24.0 or higher automatically receive an admission offer." Published cutoff with a guaranteed effect for the consortium; the consortium concept does not apply to initial training.

General definition in the official 2026 admission statistics PDF: the 2026 R score is the "R score (R score) of the last person enrolled in the program as of September 16, 2026 (CEGEP category)"; row "NURSING – INTEGRATED TRAINING DEC-BAC (consortium)" (Sherbrooke): 24.0 in 2024, 24.0 in 2025, 24.0 in 2026. last admitted typing retained with reservations: the wording says "enrolled", not "admitted".

Same definition in the PDF ("last person enrolled", CEGEP category); row "NURSING – INTEGRATED TRAINING DEC-BAC (consortium)" (Longueuil): 24.0 in 2024, 24.0 in 2025, 24.0 in 2026. last admitted typing retained with reservations.

Same definition in the PDF ("last person enrolled", CEGEP category); row "NURSING – INTEGRATED TRAINING DEC-BAC (non-consortium)" (Sherbrooke): 24.3 in 2024, 24.2 in 2025, 24.0 in 2026. last admitted typing retained with reservations.

Prerequisites

Basis of admission

DEC in nursing (180.A0 or 180.B0) + registration on the OIIQ roll or nursing licence pending
Training outside Quebec: nursing diploma deemed equivalent to the DEC in nursing by the OIIQ + registration on the OIIQ roll
DEC-BAC pathway: 18 credits granted in equivalence to holders of a DEC in nursing 180.A0 or 180.B0 (program structure)

Eligible DECs and their conditions

DEC in nursing (180.A0)
DEC in nursing (180.B0)

No separate prerequisite course is published for this pathway: the condition is the DEC in nursing and OIIQ status. Duration of 2 years full-time, regular program. Seats: School FAQ — "Integrated training (full-time): 120 seats in Sherbrooke; 180 seats in Longueuil", i.e. 300 in total; 2026 applications from the statistics PDF: 314 in Sherbrooke and 487 in Longueuil, i.e. 801 in total (the PDF's "applications" row appears only on the consortium row, the non-consortium row publishing only the scores. Selection based on enrolment capacity and the R score; applications from the colleges of the Université de Sherbrooke – Estrie-Montérégie-Beauce colleges consortium and from people working in health institutions affiliated with UdeS are prioritized. Consortium colleges named in the School FAQ: Cégep de Sherbrooke, Édouard-Montpetit, Collège Champlain Saint-Lambert, Saint-Hyacinthe, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Sorel-Tracy, Valleyfield, Collège Ellis (Longueuil campus), Collège Champlain Lennoxville, Granby Haute-Yamaska, Beauce-Appalaches. Registration on the OIIQ roll is a prerequisite for internships, but not for admission (School FAQ); no DEC expiry deadline: the DEC-BAC remains possible even if the DEC dates back several years. French: C1 level (500/699 or more) in the four skills, or exemption.

If you're not eligible yet

No DEC in nursing (180.A0 or 180.B0), and no equivalence recognized by the OIIQ for training from outside Quebec
Score below that of the last person enrolled in one's pathway (consortium / non-consortium) and campus — non-consortium applicants benefit neither from consortium priority nor from the automatic offer at 24.0

Official pathways

The DEC-BAC bridge itself: DEC in nursing completed at CEGEP, then admission to the integrated pathway with 18 equivalence credits

This pathway is UdeS's official DEC-BAC pathway for this bachelor's degree; no DEC expiry deadline is imposed (School FAQ: it is possible to register for the DEC-BAC even if the DEC dates back several years).

Source

Apply to both campuses (Sherbrooke and Longueuil)

The score of the last person enrolled varies by campus and pathway (e.g. 2026: 24.0 non-consortium in Sherbrooke versus 25.2 in Longueuil); the School FAQ advises submitting an application to each campus to maximize the chances of an offer.

Plan B — related programs to consider

Baccalauréat en sciences infirmières — cheminement formation initiale

Same bachelor's degree, but it is intended for holders of a DEC other than the DEC in nursing: it is a plan B only for a person who would change their entry route, not for a nurse who graduated from the DEC in nursing.
