Student Services

As a student in the Champlain College Division of Continuing Professional Studies, you have access to a number of support services geared toward your unique needs. Our staff works hard to ensure your experience here is positive and productive—whether you’re on campus or hundreds of miles away.

If you ever have a concern or question, please feel free to contact us. We’re just an e-mail, fax or phone call away!

Academic advising

Champlain College places a high priority on student advising and considers it an integral part of the college experience. Students at Champlain College have their own academic advisor, who will help with important decisions related to academic programs and career goals.

If you are considering applying for a degree or certificate program, you should contact your advisor as soon as possible. Each semester, you will receive notification when courses for the following semester and registration materials are available. If you are enrolled in a degree program, you have access to your program evaluation that outlines both your completed and remaining degree requirements using WebAdvisor on the College’s portal site.

Library

Located in the Robert E. and Holly D. Miller Information Commons, the Champlain College library offers a wide array of research tools for your use, including an extensive collection of full-text electronic journals, as well as electronic books, print books and periodicals.

The library subscribes to several online databases that are available only to currently enrolled students, such as InfoTrac Searchbank, ProQuest and EBSCOhost Business Premier periodical databases, as well as Facts on File, CINAHL, JStor and Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe. In addition, the library Web site offers access to several thousand full-text books through netLibrary, Safari Books and ebrary.

Students living far from campus can borrow Champlain College library books by requesting an interlibrary loan through their local library. Or, for those students visiting the Champlain College library in person, a valid Champlain College ID is needed to check out books.
