Quebec DEC holders entering the three-year BAA

• Hold a DEC, cote R at least 27.5 and three college Mathematics courses: Differential Calculus; Vector/Linear Algebra; and Integral Calculus or another 201, 300 or 360 Mathematics course, with the latter 300/360 courses at least 60 hours.
• Missing Mathematics does not bar submitting an otherwise admissible application, but all required Mathematics must be passed before the admission term begins.
• Cote R is a Quebec admission scale and is not converted into a Canadian percentage or an admitted-student average.

DEC applicants below the ordinary cote R threshold

• Cote R at least 25 but below 27.5, without university study: possible conditional offer requiring eight of ten compulsory first-year courses passed within one year before second-year progression. For Fall applicants, conditions may be removed if the final cote R reaches 27.5 after the CEGEP Winter term.
• DEC plus fewer than 30 Quebec university credits: HEC may calculate a combined/weighted college-university cote R; reaching 27.5 may support an offer.
• Cote R below 25: possible admission with DEC, at least 30 university credits over one year at cumulative GPA at least 2.7/4.3 or B-, and all required Mathematics passed. Each stated route remains conditional on the university’s assessment.

Diplôme d’études secondaires canadien hors Québec plus prior university study; not direct preparatory-year entry

• Hold the named secondary qualification and complete at least one 30-credit university year at cumulative GPA at least 2.7/4.3 or B-.
• Within the 30-credit university year, pass Differential Calculus; Integral Calculus or another university Mathematics course of at least three credits such as Statistics/Quantitative Methods; and Linear/Vector Algebra, with a Mathematics average at least 2.7/4.3 or B-.
• The separately published preparatory-year route is an alternative for appropriate secondary graduates; its admission thresholds are not substituted for this ordinary BAA route.

Quebec secondary diploma without the ordinary DEC route

• Hold the Quebec secondary diploma and complete a 30-credit university year with cumulative GPA at least 3.0/4.3 or B.
• Within the 30-credit university year, pass Differential Calculus; Integral Calculus or another university Mathematics course of at least three credits such as Statistics/Quantitative Methods; and Linear/Vector Algebra, with a Mathematics average at least 2.7/4.3 or B-.
• The required overall 3.0 and Mathematics 2.7 are separate conditions. This is not ordinary DEC entry or the out-of-Quebec preparatory-year profile.

Baccalauréat de l’enseignement secondaire plus one of the published additional-study routes

• Hold the named qualification and complete one of: one ECG preparatory-class year with the required Mathematics content; one 60-ECTS university year with overall and Mathematics results at least 12/20; or one 30-credit university year at overall GPA at least 2.7/4.3 or B-.
• Within the 30-credit university year, pass Differential Calculus; Integral Calculus or another university Mathematics course of at least three credits such as Statistics/Quantitative Methods; and Linear/Vector Algebra, with a Mathematics average at least 2.7/4.3 or B-. The native syllabus determines Mathematics-content equivalence for the ECG/ECTS options.
• The IB Diploma alone is not presented here as direct ordinary BAA entry. Appropriate secondary/IB applicants may instead use the separately published BAA preparatory year.

Autre diplôme secondaire hors Canada plus one of the published additional-study routes

• Hold the named qualification and complete one of: one ECG preparatory-class year with the required Mathematics content; one 60-ECTS university year with overall and Mathematics results at least 12/20; or one 30-credit university year at overall GPA at least 2.7/4.3 or B-.
• Within the 30-credit university year, pass Differential Calculus; Integral Calculus or another university Mathematics course of at least three credits such as Statistics/Quantitative Methods; and Linear/Vector Algebra, with a Mathematics average at least 2.7/4.3 or B-. The native syllabus determines Mathematics-content equivalence for the ECG/ECTS options.
• The IB Diploma alone is not presented here as direct ordinary BAA entry. Appropriate secondary/IB applicants may instead use the separately published BAA preparatory year.

Ordinary BAA applicants using the linked syllabus

• Two successful courses must cover the native MATH 10600 Differential Calculus and MATH 10601 Vector/Linear Algebra content; each sample syllabus is three university credits and 45 classroom hours.
• A third university-level Mathematics course must cover at least 45 hours. The linked MATH 10602 Integral Calculus and MATH 10603 Quantitative Methods examples each carry 1.5 credits/22.5 hours and together illustrate the 45-hour amount; they are not two separate three-credit requirements.
• These are admission-content exemplars, not newly asserted required courses inside the held BAA degree inventory.

Applicants satisfying the published Francophone education criteria

• Accepted evidence includes Quebec uniform French exam; French-as-second-language college course level 102 for non-doctoral programmes; IB French A; Canadian secondary diploma entirely in French; or a baccalauréat from a French academy.
• Other options: secondary diploma/certificate with non-translated French transcripts in an entirely Francophone school, attested by that school; 60 university credits/120 ECTS entirely in French at a Francophone university, excluding internships/directed work/theses; a recognized 30-credit French-as-second-language mastery certificate; or Université de Montréal PIFU completion.
• At least 60% within two years on the listed institutional French tests UQAM, TFLM Montréal/Laval, Polytechnique French mastery or TECFÉE also qualifies under the published criteria. HEC evaluates the language of instruction, not simply mother tongue.

Applicants without qualifying French-medium education evidence

• Results/diplomas are valid for two years from testing. The test must include listening comprehension, reading comprehension and written expression.
• The exact intermediate-advanced column gives TEF B2 400–499; DELF/DALF B2; TCF B2 400–499; or AP French score 4. These are HEC’s published alternatives, not score conversions created by the catalogue.
• Proof of test registration is enough to submit the application where the document pages say so; final satisfaction of the required language level still applies.

Ordinary BAA applicants, according to their named qualification

• DEC: no CEGEP document is requested in the listed profile; provide official university transcript copy if applicable.
• Most other ordinary profiles request confirmation of the named secondary/IB qualification, first university/preparatory-term official transcript and second-term course list; Quebec secondary-diploma applicants provide all university transcripts through the latest results. The CESS profile specifically names the first university term.
• Provide French-criteria transcript evidence or an appropriate French test/programme result less than two years old. Documents in neither French nor English need an official certified translation by the origin-country consulate/embassy, OTTIAQ member or official translator.
• Only complete dossiers are analyzed. The public instructions give five working days to upload requested documents after the identifying email; originals may be requested on arrival. No application or document upload was performed in this research.

Admitted BAA students seeking course equivalence

• The BAA page permits academic course recognition from a recognized university only where learning matches a programme course. Equivalencies count toward degree credits, are recorded EQ and do not enter the average.
• The current formal policy requires successful, credited, at-least-equivalent university-level study completed before HEC admission and within ten years of the recognition request; minimum C or equivalent at undergraduate level. At most 50% of undergraduate programme credits may be recognized as equivalence/exemption.
• The BAA-specific page excludes courses used as admission requirements and courses offered by professional associations; no request during a conditional-progression first year or after readmission/reactivation. Apply after confirmed admission, preferably before first-term registration, with transcript and the detailed syllabus for the term studied.
• Formal experiential-learning recognition is explicitly scoped to Certificates and DES, while BAA is listed for academic recognition. A person’s experience alone is not invented as an alternative BAA admission or credit route.
• The formal policy permits an academic-recognition reconsideration request within 15 days of the decision and further appeal within seven days of the reconsideration decision. Individual academic judgement remains HEC’s.
