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.
