New Student & International Orientation January 2024
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.
SPRING ORIENTATION
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.
International Student Orientation
The International Student Orientation is designed to accommodate the early arrival to campus of our new international and exchange students and to help them get settled, take care of College business, and meet staff and faculty. Please contact Jessa Karki at jkarki@champlain.edu for more details about International Student Orientation. Additional details and important dates are below.
