Admission Requirements – Diploma Programs
To be admitted to a 30-credit diploma program, applicants must have an undergraduate degree from an approved university and meet the language requirements (see Proof of Proficiency in English). Some programs have additional requirements that are noted within the description of the specific program.
Applicants who have studied outside Canada are advised to request an evaluation of their degree, called an Évaluation comparative des études effectuées hors du Québec, from Quebec’s Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l'Inclusion. Further details can be found on the web at , or by calling 514-864-9191. This equivalency evaluation may be required along with an official transcript when applying for admission. Applicants should be aware that educational credentials obtained at non-Canadian institutions will also be assessed for equivalency with a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University degree. Consequently, a grade point conversion system is applied to programs that use different grading systems other than that utilized by ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University. Therefore any cumulative undergraduate average or Standing that is not reported on a CGPA scale of 4.0 will have to be converted to a CGPA scale of 4.0.
Please see Career and Professional Development Programs with a Minimum CGPA Requirement for further details on applying to a program with a CGPA below the indicated required minimum.

To be admitted to the 15-credit Graduate Certificate programs, applicants must have a Bachelor of Commerce degree or equivalent (unless otherwise stipulated) and meet the language requirements. Students holding other degrees may follow a Qualifying program to gain access to the Graduate Certificate programs. Applicants should be aware that educational credentials obtained at non-Canadian institutions will also be assessed for equivalency with a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University degree.
