If you’ve lost your access codes, the Registrar’s Office provides self-serve tools related to your UdeM account : 

• Recover your access code (login/identification code)

If you are unable to recover your UNIP or access code using these tools, please contact IT support. 

If you can’t log in to the Centre étudiant (Student Centre) using your access code (also called identification code or login) and your UNIP/password, the issue may be related to two-factor authentication (A2F).

For college applications:  

If you have completed or are completing your college studies in Quebec, you do not need to provide a college transcript as we obtain the information directly from the Ministry of Education. 

For university applications:  

To submit an official transcript from another Quebec university, the most effective method is to order a digital copy from the concerned university. Select the “BCI or ETX / Electronic Transcript Exchange” delivery option and choose Université de Montréal from the drop-down list in the transmission form. 

For all applicants: 

If you already have official transcripts (original document submitted by your educational institution), you can upload a scanned copy of the document via the upload platform in the Centre étudiant. Find out more about how to submit supporting documents.  

Note that Université de Montréal does not accept any screenshot, photo, or printout of an unofficial document. 

Yes. All transcripts and diplomas obtained elsewhere than at Université de Montréal must be resent so that we can evaluate your application based on all your results. 

In the event of a change in your citizenship or identity, contact the Registrar’s Office to provide the necessary documents. 

First, make sure to upload only one PDF file for each item on your To-Do List in your Centre étudiant (Student Centre). We also advise you to ensure that the upload rules are followed, including the document name, resolution, format and file size. Find out more about how to submit supporting documents.  

If you receive this error message when attempting to upload your documents, it might be due to the Kaspersky antivirus installed on your computer. To help you resolve this issue, we encourage you to temporarily disable it or to add an exception rule for the address https://academique-dmz.synchro.umontreal.ca.

You must upload the required documents via the Centre étudiant (Student Centre), the secure platform that contains your personal study data and allows you to perform operations related to your academic progress. This is also where you will follow the progress of your application. To view the list of documents to upload, log in to the Centre étudiant and click on the Tasks tab. You can then view your To-Do List.

The university can add new items to your To-Do List in the Tasks tab of your Centre étudiant (Student Centre) at any time. That's why we recommend checking it frequently. Typical issues may be that a document you submitted is not compliant or a new document is required for your admission application. 

As soon as you upload a document, it is automatically removed from your To-Do List. The update is therefore done in real time for uploaded documents. We invite you to pay special attention to assembling your documents into a single PDF file for each item on your To-Do List. Find out more about preparing your digital documents. 

If you submit an incomplete version of your transcript, the task will reappear once we become aware of the situation. 

If you have chosen to submit your documents by means other than uploading (for example, in the case of a transcript sent directly to UdeM by another institution), certain delays apply. However, rest assured, your To-Do List will be quickly updated once the document is received.

Yes. To be eligible for an undergraduate program, every candidate must provide proof of a level of French proficiency corresponding to that required for the desired study program or programs. 

If your previous studies were not entirely in a French-speaking context, you will need to provide proof of your French proficiency by sending a certificate of results from a test or diploma accepted by Université de Montréal. Find out more about the accepted tests and diplomas. 

Some providers of these tests have deadlines ranging from one to 10 weeks to transmit the results. Inquire about these and allow for additional time between taking the test and receiving the results. 

Finally, you can request an exemption if you meet specific criteria.
