New Student & International Orientation
Welcome to the Champlain College community! All new students starting in the Spring term will attend our January New Student Orientation. This includes first-year students, transfer students, and international students starting classes in January.
New Student Orientation
Champlain’s Orientation program is designed to get you acclimated to the College before your classes begin. Our January Orientation is smaller than the one we hold each August to welcome new students starting in the fall. However, our January Orientation is just as important—and just as fun and worthwhile. There is no fee, and you do not need to register.
