Cegep of Levis

What Cegep of Levis does

Cégep de Lévis is a public post-secondary educational institution established in 1967 in Lévis, Quebec, operating under Quebec's Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel (cégep) framework and funded primarily by the Quebec Ministry of Higher Education. It serves over 3,000 students with a staff of approximately 600, offering 35 programs spanning two-year pre-university tracks (Sciences de la nature, Sciences humaines, Arts, lettres et communication, Histoire et civilisation, Arts visuels) and three-year technical programs (Biotechnology, Analytical Chemistry, Nursing, Industrial Mechanics, Computer Science, Social Work, Accounting and Management, among others), plus the Tremplin DEC integration pathway and 80+ continuing education AEC courses across 11 sectors. Government-regulated tuition is approximately $300 per session for Quebec residents and $2 per course hour for part-time students, with international students from certain francophone countries charged the resident rate.

The college operates the Carrefour de l'information Desjardins library (Koha-based) with 400 seats, 80 computers, 13 team study rooms, and digital platforms including Scholarvox and Pretnumerique.ca; modern chemistry laboratories valued at over $2M with digital real-time analysis equipment; and biotechnology laboratories featuring microreactors unique in Quebec. Its applied research capacity is anchored by the TransBIOTech Centre collégial de transfert de technologie (CCTT), where professor Yvan Boutin heads the Cellular Biology and Microbiology sector; this work has earned recognition including the 2025 Prix Acfas Denise-Barbeau. Distribution is through the SRACQ regional admission system, an Omnivox student portal, open house events, secondary-school counselor outreach, parent information sessions, and a separate international student track.

The Faucons athletic program fields 15 sports teams and approximately 350 student-athletes through the RSEQ and Alliance Sport-Études networks, with flexible academic scheduling. Strategic partnerships include 12 DEC-BAC agreements in biotechnology and 2 in chemistry with Université Laval and Université de Montréal, plus an internship partnership with Eldorado Gold Québec. Revenue mechanics are dominated by government grants, supplemented by regulated tuition, continuing education fees, employer services (services aux employeurs), room and facility rentals, and ancillary student services such as the Coopsco Lévis cooperative; the institution is not privately owned or venture-backed and operates under a board of directors led by Director General Philippe Aubé.
