Resources for Champlain College Parents

Starting Out

Regardless of what responsibilities your child had at home, he or she will now be in charge of everything: finances, laundry, time management for studying and free time (always a learning experience!) and the many other things they'll have to do to create a schedule that works for them.

It's also the time in their lives when the responsibility for their education appropriately shifts from school to student. No one will be there to cajole them into action, to remind them of this and that to do, to tell them they'd better in gear because their paper is due! Getting to class, completing homework assignments, preparing for tests and keeping in contact with their professors are part of the process that they'll have to get used to, but your child will not be in this alone. He or she will have a number of resources and support services at their disposal to help him or her with transitioning should they need it.
