I believe we should include academic life, so high school students would learn what they will encounter. Some suggestions are the english (or french?) exit exam, the cote r or I preferably call it CRC, the expensive books, or the freedom of scheduling.--Janarius 13:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
"Most Quebec university programs are three years in length for Quebec students, so the total number of years of study from primary school to a Bachelor's degree is the same as in the rest of North America"
I wish people would write more clearly.
NO! NO! NO!
the total number of years of study from primary school to *****START**** a Bachelor's degree is the same as in the rest of North America.
If it only takes 3 years to obtain a degree then Quebecers go to school minus 1 year to obtain a degree than the rest of North America! I'm sure there are some places in The U.S where you can get a degree in 3 years. There are probably some places where you can probably even get a degree without even going to school(private money grabbing colleges):)
All I know is they get 1 more year of a better life...unlike in god forsaken Ontario where we were tortured for 5 year to even attempt university application. It took Ontario them 30 years to figure out that we were being over schooled. While the U.S and Quebec went on with life much earlier
Since when does a secondary school grant degrees? Degree granting is only reserved to those post-secondary institutions that have been granted the right to do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.8.72.202 (talk) 19:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Can anyone write the difference between a community college and a cegep?--Janarius 19:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Community college are not like CEGEP's. Before 1967, some technical degrees at the CEGEP were given at Quebec Universities in a 3 year program.
Community College in the USA are more like vocational schools. There is no Truck driving programs or paramedic courses in CEGEP'S
The main difference is that in Québec a student coming out of high school HAS to go to cegep and get a pre-university degree before they can get into university. The overall number of years of study to the end of a Bachelor's degree is the same -- cegeps essentially replace the last year of high school (grade 12) and the first year of university, with almost all Bachelor degrees taking three years instead of four. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.53.216 (talk) 01:19, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
I am planning to move this article to "CEGEP" to align with the decision by WikiProject Canada: Wikipedia:WikiProject Education in Canada#Decisions from previous discussions --Cpastern 21:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
"Examples of programs are: Instrumentation Automation Robotics, Architectural Technology, Nursing, Building Engineering Technology, Computer Science and ect."
Is ect short for some Quebec post secondary program (European Car Technology, Ear Candling Technologist), or do we mean etc. as in etcetera?
Incidentally, Its generally preferable not to use etcetera or etc. in serious writing. -Dhodges 16:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Text says "Diploma of Collegial Studies (DCS), also known as the "DEC", from the French Diplôme d'études collégiales." which appears to be factually correct. But what do people call them? When I was in Cegep (both Vanier and Dawson), we always called it a DEC, not a DCS. Now that was a couple of decades ago - what is the current usage? Nfitz 20:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Current usage is almost excusively DEC - it's all I've ever heard.
I’m just wondering, what is a 3-year vocational DEC equivalent to? An associate’s degree? Bachelor’s? — NRen2k5 15:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I have added information based on my own experience applying from CÉGEP, with a DEC, to an Ontario university. I am familiar with the policies I have claimed exist, but a citation is still needed. However, as such policies are institutionally-dependant, and not regulated by provincial (or state, AFAIK) governments, citations will be hard to come by. Suggestions on ways to clean up the fact-ness of it are welcome! Msanford (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
This article does not explain why secondary schools only go to grade eleven in Quebec. Nor does it seem to wikilink to an article that might explain this.
I have always wondered about this. Geo Swan (talk) 15:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Same reason Ontario used to have Grade 13, and still have junior kindergarten... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.190.182.115 (talk) 17:52, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Up to the 1960s, French schools in Quebec had four years of high school and then four years of "collège classique" before university. That meant 14 years of education before four years of university, a total of 18 years of education (6+4+4+4) to finish a bachelors degree. With the education reforms, high school was changed to five years, plus two years CEGEP (replacing the college classiques) and university bachelor's degrees were cut to three years to make a total of 16 years (6+5+2+3), the same as in the rest of North America.
I agree that CEGEP has become a word in Québec French, but it is written cégep (no capitals). If it has also become a word rather than an acronym in English, should we not lose the capitalization and write it as cegep? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsbryce (talk • contribs) 14:37, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Most of the content of this article is not specific to Cégeps, but to the Quebec college system as a whole. I would like help moving the content to the appropriate article College (Quebec), and making this article about what it should be, the Cégep system.--UnQuébécois (talk) 00:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Should "CEGEP" be spelled consistently using the acronym "CEGEP", without the "É", or "CÉGEP", with it? Currently, the article is littered with inconsistencies that ought to be remedied. Casspedia (talk) 22:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
