The Service régional d'admission au collégial de Québec (SRACQ) was established in 1971 in response to a request from four Québec City colleges: Limoilou, François-Xavier-Garneau, Sainte-Foy and Lévis-Lauzon. These colleges understood that the fact that students submitted multiple applications for admission did nothing to simplify the management of the available places. An admission rounds system was established, which considerably increased the number of students admitted.

Thereafter, other colleges joined SRACQ :
By organising admission services in this way, we were also able to establish adequate and more economical shared services for the entire student population and member colleges.
