Cégep du Vieux Montréal

What Cégep du Vieux Montréal does

Cégep du Vieux Montréal (CVM) is a public post-secondary institution located in Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada, founded in 1968. As a member of Quebec's publicly funded cégep network, CVM delivers two-year pre-university programs and three-year technical programs (DEC) to Quebec residents, with 52+ programs in total, 17 of which are open to international students. The institution operates across multiple campuses in the Old Montreal district and serves approximately 501-1000 employees across academic, administrative, and support functions.

The institution's technology stack is built on standard Quebec higher-education platforms: the Omnivox student portal (a Skytech product used across Quebec cégeps) and the Moodle learning management system. CVM operates distinct specializations including eight Métiers d'art programs (a heritage craft specialism uncommon among Quebec cégeps) and the Spartiates athletics program, supported by partnerships with Alliance Sport-Études, the RSEQ, and the École supérieure de ballet du Québec. The institution has launched a responsible AI strategy and operates a dedicated BIM (Building Information Modeling) center for technical programs.

CVM's revenue model is primarily government-funded through Quebec's per-student funding formula for the 48 public cégeps, supplemented by tuition fees. Quebec-resident tuition is heavily subsidized under provincial policy, while international students pay $14,710-$22,800 CAD per year. The institution is also a member of the SRAM centralized admissions system (32 member cégeps), which channels prospective students through a single application portal. Additional revenue streams include continuing education and corporate training services, and the ATE (alternance travail-études) work-study formula. CVM has been carbon-neutral certified since 2021.
