Enrichment Mini-Course Program - Pre-registration

The Enrichment Mini-Courses Program is a unique annual event in the world of Canadian education.
Since its creation in 1981, over 50,000 talented students – from grades 8 to 11 in Eastern Ontario, and Secondary II to V in Western Quebec – have been given the opportunity of exploring a field of study or area of interest in a university or college setting. These students have acquired knowledge and skills that will help them achieve academic success and stimulate their interest in pursuing post-secondary studies.

Mini-courses are offered in a variety of disciplines, such as information technology, psychology, engineering, journalism, music and law. They are highly interactive; they combine brief presentations, practical exercises, laboratory exercises, group discussions and field expeditions; and they provide an unforgettable learning experience!
Each 25-hour mini-course runs five hours a day, Monday through Friday. Courses start at 9 A.M. and end at 3 P.M., with one hour for lunch. There are no exams or formal evaluations. At the end of the program, host institutions confer a certificate that attests student participation in the mini-courses.
