Personal CDC Account and Password

Only staff of Quebec colleges and college-network partners, university students, or researchers interested in the Quebec college network who reside in Quebec may apply for a personal CDC account. This account is for the exclusive, individual use of the person who satisfies these criteria and may not be shared or sold to any other person or group. You are personally responsible for protecting your password and the CDC is not responsible for any unauthorized access to your personal CDC account.
