The Ministry of Education requires that courses offered by CEGEPs enable students to follow a specific and well-defined academic path. The Continuing Education Application Form will allow the College to identify the status and goals of Continuing Education students.New Continuing Education Students must apply online prior to registration in order to receive a student I.D. and an Omnivox password.Returning Continuing Education Students last registered in Fall 2016 can register through the Internet Registration system without completing a new Continuing Education Application Form.

In order to access the registration system you will need your Dawson I.D. number and your Permanent Code. If you have not studied in a Quebec high school or CEGEP, you will not yet have a Permanent Code.
