Test-Optional Admissions
COMMON APPLICATION CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE APPLICATION
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 standardized tests provide a true indication of future student success with Champlain's hands-on education.
Additionally, we believe that the necessity 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. Beginning with the incoming admissions process for Fall 2019, Champlain College is a Test-Optional school.
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.

Students who are admitted via test-optional admission are not required to submit their test scores but are strongly encouraged to do so after they have decided to enroll and deposited.
