[citation needed] What began as an offshoot of the much larger Collège de l'Outaouais, with an initial enrollment of 7 students, evolved into an official campus and eventually a college.

With an ever-increasing population and a few stays in renovated buildings (including a bowling alley and a couple of French high schools), it finally achieved fully autonomous status in 1988 as Heritage College.

Continuing Education offers various intensive day programs for adults such as Microsoft Network specialist and Bilingual Office System Administration.

The campus offers health and fitness facilities such as a fully furnished gym, a multi-purpose room suitable for dancing, yoga, etc.

Applications are handled through Le Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain, although Heritage has no campus or facilities in Montreal itself.
