Being Champlain Ready means being ready for work, ready for life, ready to make a difference. Here's how to start your journey with us.
Choose the application that’s right for you — for free! We want to get to know you as a whole person, not just your GPA or test scores. While your official transcripts are required, standardized test scores and letters of recommendation are optional.
Our Admissions team is here to help. Call, email, or live-chat all your questions, big and small.
While we value GPA, class rank, and other academic measures, we’re also interested in your personal qualities and characteristics. Having a spirit of innovation, commitment to inclusivity, or other traits can help tip the balance.
For some majors, submitting a portfolio of your work is a required step in the admissions process. Your portfolio is a way to show us your unique approach to your craft! Check out our requirements to see if your major requires a portfolio!
We are happy to consider your application without standardized test scores. As an applicant, this can mean one less thing for you to think about. And if you would like us to consider them, feel free to include them with your submitted application.
