History
1968 - 1975
In 1968, the Collège de Sherbrooke was founded by ministerial decree and was initially placed in the west of Sherbrooke. The Collège de Sherbrooke was also responsible for the colleges in
From 1969 to 1975, the college continued to be split between the east and west campuses, however, only the eastern campus saw continuous expansion. The Pavillon 4 was opened in 1970, housing the department of
The construction of the Pavillon 1 and 2 began in 1973 and 1974 respectively. The latter replaced a
While the college was separated between the two campuses, the Collège de Sherbrooke used a shuttle bus service to transport students and personnel from one campus to the other, costing 0.25$ CAD for a one-way journey. The name of the school team, "Volontaires" (Volunteers), dates from 1972, coming from a catchphrase of a football coach, Michel Bérard: "Are there any volunteers to give a little more effort?" (Y a-t-il est volontaires pour en donner un peu plus?)[12] In 1975, the physical activity center (CAP: Centre de l'activité physique) was opened in the Pavillon 1, becoming at the time the largest of its kind in Estrie and the 3rd largest in Quebec.[2]
The current students' association, the AÉCS (Association étudiante du Cégep de Sherbrooke) was created in 1975, organized by the school's student council. It was the first of its kind in Quebec, created in 1968. The students' council had previously taken part in two student protests in 1968 and 1974.[13] The western campus closed its doors in 1975 and the entirety of operations was moved to the eastern campus. The former Pavillon 1 and 2 were transferred to the École sécondaire du Jolliet, now the École sécondaire du Triolet.[14]
1976 - 2004
On 8 February 1977, a fire broke out in the basement of the
3 years after winning a trophy for excellence in its 1975 season by the newspaper, La Tribune, The college's hockey team would be disbanded in 1978 due to high costs and a diminishing interest among students. The team would be briefly revived in 1983, lasting for only 2 years. Similarly would happen to the football team, disappearing in 1980 due to the teams inability to train in their stadium, the Amedée Roy Stadium.[2]
The Collège de Granby separated from the Collège de Sherbrooke officially in 1980, eventually becoming itself the Cégep de Granby. The year after, the theater in the Pavillon 3 was renamed to the Salle Alfred-DesRochers, named after Québécois poet, Alfred DesRochers.
Starting from the beginning of the 1980s, a rising resentment for the
The Foundation of the Cégep de Sherbrooke was founded in 1990 with the goal of giving student grants and funding student projects.[17] Its first largescale campaign took place in 2003 with the Adhésion à l'Alliance Sport-Études program, aiming to aid student-athletes to conciliate their studies and their sports disciplines.[18]
2005 - Today
In 2005, the Collège de Sherbrooke would officially be renamed the Cégep de Sherbrooke, accompanied by a rebranding of its logo and the official imagery of the school.
A high number of new students in the autumn semester of 2008 would force the administration to open a new Pavillon temporarily, the Pavillon 9, also colloquially called 'The Bunker'. It was built in the courtyard between the Pavillon 3, 2 and 6, constructed out of prefabricated modules. It would later be dismantled in 2012.[2] In 2010, the Pavillon 10 was opened, located in a former church of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, dated to 1939.[19]
On February 29, 2012, the AÉCS would adopt, by popular vote, to go on strike indefinitely as part of the 2012 Quebec student protests. Picketing would take place every morning from then on for 9 weeks, after which the student council would vote on a return to classes, despite still refusing the final offers of the Liberal government. [2]
In 2018, the Cégep de Sherbrooke held a year-long celebration of its semicentennial (50th) anniversary, offering many different events, activities and expositions all throughout the year. Among other things, the school held art exhibitions, speeches, firsthand accounts, fundraisers, and sports events. Teachers and students celebrated through other symbolic ways, such as the "50 ans 50 sommets" (50 years 50 summits) initiative that invited students and teachers to take pictures of themselves atop mountain summits across the world.

Programs
Cégeps in Quebec are uniform in the fundamental structure of their programs. Pre-university programs take two years to complete at full-time, whereas technical programs take three.[24] All programs in the Cégep must follow classes in five different domains as part of their curriculum. A student must, once during their collegial studies, follow four French classes, two English classes, three philosophy classes, and three different physical education courses.[25] The fifth obligatory class consists of two complimentary courses, chosen by the student from a list of a multitude of courses from different domains. It is generally prioritized for students to follow courses outside of their field of study, and examples of complimentary classes include: the history of Blues, Jazz and Rock; contemporary dance; the study of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages; astronomy; or Spanish.[25]
Pre-university programs in the school include
There are a total of 24 different technical programs offered by the Cégep, varying between many different fields of work. A few programs are given mostly outside of campus:
