Eligibility Criteria
CEGEP Centennial College’s policy is to admit as many qualified applicants as we feel will benefit from the pre-university education offered. Due to space limitations, it is advisable for prospective students to apply early to ensure a place in the College. Applications for the autumn session will be given preference if received before April 1st. Applications received after this date will be evaluated on a competitive basis depending on available space.
