Looking to ship your belongings to Champlain? Here’s how it works:
Please note: This is the only moving company that is insured and permitted to be on campus. All moving and storage arrangements are managed directly by students, who will need to coordinate on-campus pickup and retrieval of belongings.

Housing selection is the process by which current Champlain College students sign up for spaces to live for the academic year. Students who are not currently attending Champlain College are not able to take part in housing selection or be pulled into a room. All students who wish to live on main campus or in 194 must complete this process! See more details.
All students who select housing and later cancel have a certain timeline to do so without fee. The Main Campus Cancellation Policy and the 194 St Paul Cancellation Policy details.
Housing options vary by year. You can find more detailed information on which housing options are available for

Students who are abroad for the spring semester and wish to live on campus for the following academic year should follow the same housing selection process as all students.
Students who are abroad for the fall semester and would like to live on campus for the spring semester will receive communication from the Office of Housing & Residential Life about the application process.
We recommend that all students apply for main campus housing in March. Most students should know their study abroad status by late March, before Housing Selection happens. If you are not approved for study abroad, you will be able to choose a placement for main campus for the fall.
If you are confirmed for study abroad, we will cancel your housing application for main campus and you will not need to participate in Housing Selection. Champlain Abroad will manage your housing for your time abroad.
If you are returning for the spring semester, we strongly encourage you to live on campus for the spring semester. In mid-fall, students studying abroad will be emailed with details on how to apply for housing, both main campus and 194. All placements are made based on expected vacancies, and unfortunately, no specific placement can be guaranteed. Students coming back from study abroad will have first choice of spaces prior to assigning incoming spring students or transfers. Assignments will be finalized in January on THD.
Students who are not happy with the space they chose at housing selection will have the opportunity to fill out a Reassignment Request form on The Housing Director (THD) under the applications tab. Please note that these requests will be filled over the summer as spaces become available. Please make sure to only request options you are willing to accept, as completing the Reassignment Request authorizes the Housing & Residential Life team to move you based on the form you completed.
Boardman Hall is almost all single bedrooms in suite-style layout. However, Boardman Traditional is suite 107 – rooms 107A and 107B are two double rooms, which means two roommates in each bedroom. There is still one bathroom for the four residents as well as laundry.
Students that identify outside of the gender binary are asked to contact reslife@champlain.edu to explore options. Our housing team and the Office of Accessibility will work with you to identify the best housing solution. One option is our gender-inclusive housing community, which you can read more about here.
Champlain College students with documented disabilities may request appropriate and reasonable housing accommodations within the context of current housing policies. The Housing Accommodations Request Form must be submitted each year by the housing application deadline for review and renewal of appropriate accommodations related to housing.

If you have a maintenance issue with anything in your room, please make sure to put in a work order request through School Dude which can be accessed online through your student portal. If further assistance is needed, please speak to a Resident Advisor or to the Area Coordinator.
We encourage all students to grow important skills by working with your roommate(s) to sort out any issues. This is best done first by revisiting the Roommate Agreement that you signed early in the semester so that you can talk through any new issues. Next, we encourage you to speak with your RA who can provide some assistance and resources for working through difficult conversations. The Area Coordinator who is a professional staff member is also an excellent resource!
We find that even a difficult conversation that airs the issues can often make for a much more comfortable living situation. Please remember, our staff is here to help you work through your issues! See our Room Change philosophy.
Housing costs for the latest academic year can be found here.
All students in on-campus housing (with the exception of 194 St. Paul Street ) must have a Carte Blanche meal plan.
