Prerequisite College Courses

Many university programs require students to pass certain college courses prior to admission. These prerequisite courses provide you with the skills, abilities, and knowledge you need to succeed in your studies at Université Laval. These courses are generally offered as part of pre-university college programs, but you can also take them as qualifying courses at Université Laval .

Table of prerequisite college courses

As the ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur (MES) gradually implements new versions of pre-university college programs, Université Laval has correspondences between the old and new versions of prerequisite courses in place since fall 2023.

The following table shows the equivalencies between prerequisite college courses, their objectives and the corresponding qualifying courses at Université Laval. Please note that college courses deemed equivalent to those listed in the table may be recognized as prerequisites for admission.
