Make It Official: Enroll

Submit Your Enrollment Deposit
To confirm your enrollment and reserve your place as a full-time student at Champlain College, please go to your Application Dashboard to accept your offer of admission and submit your enrollment deposit. This will also start the process of reserving your space in a residence hall, if desired.

Step 1. Log in to your Champlain Application Dashboard

If you have a Champlain Application Dashboard account:
- Log in to the Application Dashboard.
- Don’t remember your password? No problem. You can request a new one (be sure to use the same email address you used when you applied).
If you do not already have a Champlain Application Dashboard account:
- Create one here using the same email address you used when you applied.
Step 2. Accept Offer & Pay Enrollment Deposit

Once you are logged in to the Champlain Application Dashboard:
- If you have not already viewed your Admissions decision letter on the Application Dashboard, click on the golden envelope.
- If you have been admitted, navigate to the bottom of the screen with your acceptance letter, click the green “Reply to Offer,” then “Accept Offer,” and “Pay by Credit Card.” (You can also opt to “Pay Later,” but please be mindful of your specific deposit due date.)
- If you previously viewed your acceptance letter on the Application Dashboard and opted to click “Pay Later,” you may now select “Pay My Deposit” and follow the screens to submit your deposit by credit card.
Your $500 enrollment deposit is due as follows:
- Early Decision admission: January 6, 2026
- Early Action admission: Submit your deposit by May 1 or within three weeks of the date on your admit letter, whichever is later.
- Regular Decision admission: Submit your deposit by May 1 or within three weeks of the date on your admit letter, whichever is later.
- Transfer student admission: Submit your deposit by May 1 or within three weeks of the date on your admit letter, whichever is later. Students who submit their deposit by June 15 are guaranteed housing.
The $500 enrollment deposit is an advance payment toward your Champlain College tuition and will be deducted from your final bill. This $500 deposit will be credited to your fall semester tuition payment.

If you have any questions, please call or text the Office of Admissions at (802) 625-0201.
