CUMULATIVE BACHELOR’S DEGREES

To earn a Bachelor of Science, the following requirements must be met: 

• The student must have completed three certificates and earned a total of at least 90 credits from different courses. Credits from each course can only be counted once, even if they were used for two of the certificate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science.   

• At least two of the certificates must have been awarded by Polytechnique Montréal. Neither the engineering development certificate for foreign engineering graduates nor the engineering certificate can be counted towards the Bachelor of Science.   

• Certificates that were not awarded by Polytechnique Montréal, Université de Montréal or HEC Montréal must be the subject of an application for program recognition. The application for recognition can only be submitted after the corresponding certificate for that program has been obtained from the other academic institution (see Article 18.3).   

• The student must meet the French-language proficiency requirements as specified in Regulation 14.   

• No more than ten years may have passed between the date the first certificate was granted and the date the last certificate was granted.
