International Applicants The College will consider students for admission who have attended schooling systems outside of Canada if their certificates are equivalent to the Quebec Secondary V Diploma, including specific program pre-requisites and requirements. Deadline Application Procedures Students must apply on-line at http://sram.omnivox.ca. There is no paper form of the application. It is essential that students submit all required documents as per SRAM's on-line instructions. SRAM will return incomplete applications to the student. This may result in lengthy delays in evaluating your application. The delays could result in denial of acceptance to your preferred program. Note: International applicants cannot be considered for admission in the Winter semester as it is difficult to obtain the necessary governmental authorization before the start of classes in January. Academic Requirements Equivalent scholarity for most other countries would be completion of pre-university secondary studies. A certified cumulative transcript and a diploma or certificate (officially translated in English or French) is required for evaluation. An above-average academic performance is generally necessary for admission. Secondary school documents must be submitted even if the applicant has completed higher level education.
