Integrating into the Cégep
Experiencing the transition from high school to Cégep, leaving your region or country to come and study in Gaspésie or the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, is an extraordinary experience, but one that brings its share of challenges!
The Life at the Cégep section contains a wealth of information, especially about student life. What better way to integrate than to participate in activities or get involved in the community? You’ll also find information on housing, employment, transportation, and more.
Support service from your fellow students
A team of student tutors is available on your campus. Don’t hesitate to call on them to learn how the Cégep works and to find out more about the region. Visit the Peer Tutoring section to fill out the application form
