ROOMMATE AGREEMENT
The college roommate experience can be wonderful, but (sometimes) challenging. This is why it's important to communicate openly with roommates about expectations for living together. To help with this process, Champlain College resident assistants will meet with roommates during the first three to five weeks of the school year to help them engage in conversations about how they can live together successfully.
WHAT ARE LIVING AGREEMENTS?
During these conversations, students will fill out and submit a Roommate Agreement Form. The form helps document the expectations that students set with each other and allows the Residential Life staff to assist residents with any questions, concerns, or challenges that arise involving their living experiences.
WHY DO I NEED A LIVING AGREEMENT FORM?
Communication is important to a successful living experience and can help you create a long-lasting relationship with your roommate. Good luck with your Roommate Agreements and enjoy this process. Please contact Housing and Residential Life should you have any questions. Login to RoomPact to access the Roommate Agreement Form.
Link to this FAQIt is important to review the room condition report when you first arrive to your dorm room to make sure that any pre-existing damage is noted so you will not be charged upon your departure.
Certain types of decorations pose fire hazards while others are a safety concern. Our guidelines allow you to decorate your room while minimizing the potential for damage to facilities and furnishings, and minimizing risk to the safety of residents. Residents can attach decorations to walls and surfaces which aren't specifically prohibited using white Funtack, tape, or other adhesives as long as it does not damage any painted or finished surface when removed.
You may NOT:
When damage occurs within a dorm room or suite, the person responsible should complete a report on School Dude to have it repaired. Students are responsible to pay for damage that occurs to their assigned bedroom or College furnishing and are not responsible for damage to other bedrooms in the apartment absent fault.Students will be charged for damages to College furnishings and buildings beyond what is considered normal wear and tear. When specific responsible parties cannot be identified, any assessment of damages to common areas, such as halls, bathrooms and living rooms, will be apportioned among all apartment, floor or building residents. Students may be held responsible for the actions of their guests; to the extent that such actions implicate Students' responsibilities under the Code of Conduct.
Link to this FAQWe try to make the move-out process a smooth one. We know that there are items that students no longer want or need. That's where the annual Move-out Collection Project comes in. By taking a mindful approach to moving out, we can save you money (in cleaning charges and trash hauling), as well as pass on useable items to those who can use them.

The way we see it, anything you can do to make life easier so you can focus on your studies is a good idea. Here are a few services that provide simple solutions to questions like, "Can I please get someone else to do my laundry?" and "Where will I keep my bike and my longboard when it's snowing, and my snowboard and gear when it's not?"
All Champlain College residence halls have coin-operated washers and dryers, which also accept the Champlain College Cash Card (with the exception of 371 Main Street and and Spinner Place). Students may check the LaundryView internet application to view the status of washers and dryers in connected laundry rooms across campus.
If you are not into doing your own wash, another laundry option is E & R Laundry and Dry Cleaners, which provides a pickup/drop-off service (this is a paid service, not included as part of housing cost). Information about this service is sent to students during the summer prior to move-in.
For more information, visit E&R Laundry and Dry Cleaning online or call (800) 243-7789.
The extra-long beds provided in Champlain College residence halls are designed to give every student a great night's sleep. These extra-long mattresses require specially-sized sheets, comforters and blankets. We highly recommend the Residence Hall Linens program, which the College has been offering for more than a decade. This specialty retailer provides a varied selection of specially-sized linens guaranteed to fit every residence hall bed and last until graduation. Residence Hall Linens also provides many of the other necessities your new room will require such as extra-long thermal blankets, pillows, extra-long comforters, storage solutions and extra-long mattress pads.
Orders can be placed online or by calling (800) 957-4338.
For students who need assistance with moving or storing their belongings over break periods, Champlain College recommends Dorm Room Movers and CollegeBoxes. These are the only moving companies that are insured and permitted to be on campus. All moving and storage options are managed directly by students, who will need to coordinate on-campus pickup and retrieval of belongings.
Champlain College partners with OCM to provide our students with final exam care packages at the end of each semester during the academic year (Fall and Spring). Parents now have the option to order the packages online directly through the OCM site and upload a greeting card photo, which will be included in the package. For any inquiries regarding the Final Exam Care Packages please contact the company directly at (877) 942-7887.
