Students applying to Champlain may choose whether or not to submit standardized test scores, such as the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and the ACT.  

You're More Than a Test Score

After a careful evaluation of years of standardized test scores and academic outcomes, we have not found that standardized tests provide a true indication of future student success with Champlain's hands-on education.

Additionally, we believe that the necessity of standardized test-taking and score submission might create a potential barrier between a prospective student and the specific type of radically pragmatic learning environment and education we offer.

Indicate Your Preference on Your Application

On the Champlain Application or the Common Application, you will be able to indicate if you would like us to consider your standardized test scores. If you indicate that you do not want them considered as part of your application, the reviewer will not be able to view your scores, even if you have previously submitted them.

If You Would Like to Submit Test Scores

If you would like your testing outcomes to be considered as a part of your application for admission, please send official test scores.

• College Board SAT, please use code 3291
• ACT, please use code 4298

We'd Love to Meet You

Champlain offers Personal Interviews as an optional part of the application process. Like our Test-Optional policy, Personal Interviews are completely up to you.

Personal Interviews provide you with a great opportunity to highlight specific aspects of your academic and extra-curricular experiences, goals, work/volunteer history, and personality that might not be apparent through your application alone.

To learn more about Personal Interviews and to schedule yours, see our Personal Interview page.
