What if I’m missing prerequisites?
- Between sec IV & V: the LBPSB Summer School offers a MATH ‘bridge’ course that upgrades Math CST Sec IV to Technical Math Sec IV. There is also a ‘bridge’ course between Applied or General Science and Environmental Sciences. Check with your Guidance Department when summer school details arrive in May.
- Passing either bridge course along with the final Ministry exam would give you those credits and marks on your MEESR transcript, and the CEGEPs would see those when you apply.
- However, it does NOT guarantee placement in sec V Scientific math nor in Chemistry &/or Physics. Those are school-based decisions.
- After High School graduation: LBPSB Adult Education @ CARTIER & PACC offer any courses needed on an individual course basis, including a list of summer courses for HS grads only. Call [C] 514-694-8500 or [P] 514-798-5588 for schedules and to register.
- At CEGEP: Most CEGEPs offer summer classes and half or full year “transition” programs to make up missing prerequisites [see the next section and check websites for details]:
- SOME of these programs admit with only Sec IV CST Math: make sure to double-check the prerequisites of your target program.
- ALL of these programs include some English, French, Humanities and Physical Education courses, which will be credited to your ‘target’ program when you start it.

If you have generally high marks and you want to get into Sciences or science-related Technologies but have never taken Sec V Advanced Math, Physics or Chemistry,
This one or two semester program includes ‘bridging’ [High School to CEGEP] Math and Science courses.
You do need a good mark in Math 406 already. Having passed Sec IV Environmental Science is recommended but not necessary at Dawson, but IS necessary at Vanier.
These programs are NOT for students who have taken and failed Advanced Math or Sciences in Sec V.[1]

If you have graduated with marks <75% OR are missing prerequisites for a 3-year Technology program.
This one or two semester program is for students who want to apply to a Technology program. It is also perfect for students who do not yet know which program they want to study, as it gives a “sample” of classes from different programs, and a Career Explorations course. This is not a way into Police Tech.
