Springboard to a DCS Pathway and University Prerequisites Pathway

Springboard to a DCS Pathway (081.06)

The aim of the Springboard to a DCS (PDF 191 Kb) pathway is to provide students with training that enables them to enter or complete a program leading to a Diploma of College Studies (DCS).

The Springboard to a DCS pathway takes a flexible approach so that colleges can provide their students with training adapted to their needs.

The basis for admission to the Springboard to a DCS pathway is the same as that for admission to a program leading to a DCS. Students may enrol in the Springboard to a DCS pathway on a full-time or part-time basis, for the Fall, Winter or Summer semesters, and for a maximum of three consecutive Fall or Winter semesters according to the college’s decision in that regard.

University Prerequisites Pathway (080.04)

The University Prerequisites pathway (PDF 248 Kb) is designed for students who must complete their training in order to enter a university program.
