The longitudinal study focuses on the success of cegep science students at one college who were accepted into the science program although their secondary school grades in chemistry and/or physics did not meet the admission requirements, These less prepared students were admitted into the science program because they were placed in remedial classes that offered support through extra class time in their introductory college science courses. The main research question addressed in this study was to determine whether accepting less prepared students is beneficial to the student in terms of academic success.

The purpose of this research was to discover if there was any significant measure of association between a student's family cultural background, primary home language, secondary school language of instruction, high school average and/or English placement level and the likelihood of him or her succeeding in his or her program. Because of both program and demographic differences between «hard» and «soft» technologies, including student population (more specifically gender ratios and student average ages in specific programs), program writing requirements and practical skill program activities, the research was limited to the hard technologies where students work hands-on with hardware and/or computers.||Résumé : L'objectif de cette recherche était de découvrir s'il y avait un lien significatif quelconque entre les origines linguistiques familiales de l'étudiant, ses origines culturelles, sa moyenne au secondaire et/ou ses résultats au test de classement en anglais, et ses chances de compléter ses cours d'anglais et de philosophie dans le délai prescrit de trois ans. Compte tenu des nombreuses différences entre les programmes de formation technique en termes de profil étudiant - sexe et âge en particulier - et d'exigences au niveau de l'écrit et de la pratique, il a été décidé de limiter cette recherche afin d'avoir un échantillon plus uniforme. La recherche porte donc uniquement sur les techniques où l'étudiant est appelé à travailler de façon pratique sur l'ordinateur et où les exigences au niveau de l'écrit et de la recherche sont dans l'ensemble peu élevées.
