   • Science (200.B0, 200.B1)
   • Combined Science programs "Double DEC" (200.11, 200.12, 200.13, 200.15, 200.16); note that the global R score including both programs is used in the academic assessment)

4. Complete the DEC in a maximum of three years;
   Note: The majority of competitive applicants will complete the DEC in the expected two years and be full-time according to the regulations of their institution in each Fall and Winter semester; however, this measure allows flexibility for some part-time terms or leaves that prevent completing the program. Common situations include but are not limited to: starting in a bridging (tremplin) program or in another pre-university DEC, issues with availability of required courses at your institution, Double-DEC, Sports-Études, medical withdrawal from a course or a semester, taking five courses in one semester and seven in another, or other extenuating circumstances. Candidates should only select "extenuating circumstances" in the online application and submit their letter and documentation if they did not complete the DEC in thee years, or if their circumstances had a temporary impact on their usual level of academic achievement. Do not submit a letter if only the credit load per semester or overall length of DEC (beyond three years) were impacted.
5. In addition to all other program requirements, candidates must have successfully completed and achieved the competency codes for the following courses by the time the DEC is granted:

For more information on these codes and their requirements, please contact your CEGEP academic advising office.

(*1) Exceptions made for students who graduated from the DEC in a Fall term, and began a new post-secondary program the following Winter (i.e. in the Winter term they are submitting their application to Med-P); academic performance from the new program is not considered; no more than one semester of study is permitted.

(*2) Quebec residents enrolled in a French Baccalaureate program located in Quebec are eligible; both years (première and terminale) must be undertaken in Quebec, the candidate must complete all "complements Québécois" for the Cegep-equivalent prerequisites listed above, which must be reflected on the course attestation provided by the school, along with an R score.
