The Round System
What is the round system?
The round system is an efficient system set up by SRAM to manage applications for admission. There are two admission periods per year:
A “round” is a portion of the admission period during which you can submit an initial application or you can submit a new choice if you were refused in a previous round.
You may only choose a single program in a single SRAM-affiliated cégep per round. If your application is turned down, you can then apply to the next round for that semester without putting together a new application or paying any additional fees.
Available places
In round 1, the maximum number of places is available to applicants.
Based on the admissions granted in a round, the remaining places are made available in the following round.
There are no new places made available after round 1. At each round for a semester, there are fewer places than at the previous round.
Answers
SRAM posts all answers (both admissions and refusals) on your online file according a set timetable.
Notices of admission are sent by mail or email, by the cégeps and the mailing dates are variable.
Refusal notices are added to the applicants' online files on the same day that all answers are posted online.
Admission
Admissions are final. Make sure to choose your first choice program when you first apply. If you are admitted, you will not be able to take part in round 2.
Refusal
If your application is turned down, you may take part in the next round without putting together a new application or paying any additional fees. However, you will have to submit your new choice online at before the next deadline.
First come, first serve?
No. Admissions are not granted on a first-come first-serve basis. All applications completed before the deadline of a round are processed together as part of that round.
It’s important that in rounds 2 and 3, you make sure your new program choice has places available by accessing the Table of available places.
Why only one choice per round?
Prior to the round system, applicants could apply to many programs in many cégeps at once. Applicants with the strongest standing were admitted to more than one cégep. These applicants “reserved” spots that would remain empty come the start of the school year. Applicants with slightly lower grades were more often refused due to limited spaces.
With the round system, an applicant cannot reserve more than one place. Cégeps can now expect that an admitted applicant will be a registered student come the start of the school year. Indeed, SRAM’s admission rates are around 95% amongst the students that take part in up to 3 rounds.

Documents to provide may include:
The fastest and most effective way to send documents to SRAM is to upload them directly to your online file. Mail should be avoided as a means to send in documents.

Admission procedures

Admission requirements
Prerequisite courses
Admission to certain programs requires that you have successfully completed (or that you are currently completing) a mathematics, chemistry and/or physics course at the time of application. If you have completed your studies outside of Canada, the recognition of your prerequisites will be based on the following criteria:
To have a prerequisite granted, the course must be listed as “chemistry” or “physics” or “mathematics” (whichever applicable) on your transcripts with a passing grade. The prerequisite will not be granted if the course is named anything other than the prerequisite required. For example, the “chemistry” prerequisite will not be granted if the course you took was named “sciences”.
In Québec, secondary 4 is the 10th year of study and secondary 5 is the 11th year of study. If the program you are applying to in cégep requires a secondary 4 mathematics course, your transcripts must show that you passed a mathematics course in your 10th or 11th year of study.
What if you don’t have the prerequisites?
Documents to provide
Documents will be requested based on your situation. Once you’ll have filled out the application for admission, the system will list the documents you will have to submit to complete your file. These may include:
*Only color printed copies or color scanned documents made directly from the original report cards and diplomas will be accepted. Do not send original document. SRAM is not returning any documents.
Comparative evaluation
In order for a cégep to decide on your admission, a comparative evaluation of your studies completed outside of Canada is needed. You may request while filing out your online application that SRAM produces this evaluation. It’s important to note that SRAM’s evaluations are used for the sole purpose of cégep admissions and are not provided to applicants. A 50$ fee is applicable and you must provide copies of your transcripts from the last three years of high school even if you pursued your studies afterwards.
If you currently hold a comparative evaluation from the ministère de l’Immigration du Québec (MIFI or MIDI or MICC), it may be submitted in lieu of having SRAM prepare a comparative evaluation.
Important! If you have requested that MIDI (previously MICC) prepare an evaluation but you do not have the results in your possession, it is highly recommended to select the option to have SRAM prepare the evaluation to avoid the risk of missing the deadline. Considering your admission is based on your school grades, SRAM cannot accept an MICC or MIDI receipt – you must submit the results of the comparative evaluation prior to the deadline for your application to be considered.
Language test
After completing your application, you may be contacted by the cégep to pass a language test before the cégep decides on your admission. If you do not write this test, your application will be turned down.

About
SRAM
Presentation
SRAM (Service régional d’admission du Montréal métropolitain) was founded in 1973 by 14 cégeps in the Montreal area searching for a solution to the problem of multiple applications for admission.
Since fall of 1973, with the objective of admissibility, applicants have been limited to one application for admission within this group of cégeps with the possibility of participating in up to three rounds. Since each applicant reserves only one place, the admission rate increases and cégeps can count on actual candidates.
Throughout the years, other cégeps have asked to become members of SRAM. SRAM is now made up of 32 organizations and offers services to students, institutions, and cégep and college-level networks.
The owl was chosen as SRAM's logo in October 1981 and has since become its trademark. This owl, sitting on "SRAM" letters representes both the short-eared owl and the wood owl.
The owl has the necessary skills to find its way in the dark: fine tuned judgment, seriousness and wisdom. SRAM's owl is in flight, representing the action that follows careful consideration in orientation and admission endeavours. As for the wood owl, in Roman mythology Minerva was the goddess of wisdom and science.
In 2007, SRAM rejuvenated its logo but kept the flying owl symbolism. The owl is supported by the word "SRAM".
