The Cegep’s slogan, "study in a unique natural environment", was chosen because 4 of its 5 campuses are located in a remote region named Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine. It allows students to enjoy an exceptional natural setting. Indeed, according to National Geographic magazine, Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region is one of the top 20 destinations to visit in the world.

Student success is an institutional priority. From day one of their college education, students have access to various academic support measures including personal academic counselling, a guidance service and teacher-student tutoring. A range of adapted services is also available for students with physical, sensory, neurological, or organic impairment; as well as those with learning disorders or mental health problems.
