Amendments were made to Quebec’s Charter of the French Language with the adoption of Law 14 in May 2022 by the National Assembly which directly impact all English-language cegeps.
English-language cegeps are officially designated as anglophone institutions but continue to be allowed to admit students of all language backgrounds, regardless of whether a student holds a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) to access English-language education in the province. This certificate is required to study in an English-language elementary school or high school in Quebec but is not required to study in an English-language cegep. However, depending on whether or not a student at the cegep level holds a CoE, there are differing program grids and language exam requirements for graduation.
Specifically, this means that:
French-language acquisition support services are in place and available to all students at Champlain-Lennoxville, regardless of language background.

In order to understand Bill 96 and its implications for CEGEPs, it is important to understand what a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to receive education in English is. Under Quebec law, only certain citizens meeting defined criteria have the right to attend publicly funded English-language schools and hold a COE. Conversely, those without a COE must attend French-language schools in Quebec, with very few exceptions. At the CEGEP level, students with and without a COE may pursue their studies in English, but their status will determine different course and graduation requirements.
At the moment, the Ministry of Education defines the criteria. A detailed description is available on the Ministry’s website. More information is also available on Quebec’s EducaLoi website.
Important: All English CEGEPs have been granted access to the provincial government’s records to see who has eligibility, so you do not need to submit a copy of your Certificate with your application.
