What is Scout it out?
This activity gives you the chance to confirm your choice of study program for the start of the next academic year and to get to know the Gaspé campus.
Who is eligible?
If you live in a region other than that of Gaspésie and Magdalen Islands and are eligible to attend college next fall, then this activity is for you.
