CEGEP routes

Choose the Champlain campus that fits your plans

Start with the constituent college. The shared regional name does not mean one application portal, fee schedule or housing system.

One college, three campuses

Champlain Regional College comprises Champlain College Lennoxville, Champlain College Saint-Lambert and Champlain–St. Lawrence. Use the campus labels throughout this guide to find the right application system and student services.

Saint-Lambert

Champlain Saint-Lambert has pre-university programs for students who plan to go to university. It also has three-year technical programs with career-focused study. Continuing Education is listed separately from the day division. The credential, schedule and admission conditions depend on the route you choose. So start with the exact program page.

The campus is at 900 Riverside Drive in Saint-Lambert, Quebec. The pre-university directory explains the rules for university applicants. They normally need a DEC (Diplôme d'études collégiales). This is a Diploma of College Studies. They may need particular courses for their intended university program.

Lennoxville

Lennoxville: study at 2580 College Street in Sherbrooke. Science is one pre-university route; the Business program beginning in Fall 2026 is a technical route. Transition / Springboard serves students missing prerequisites, waiting for an intake or still choosing a program.

St. Lawrence

St. Lawrence: the campus is at 790 avenue Nérée-Tremblay in the Sainte-Foy area of Québec City. Its Science DEC is a two-year pre-university program; Business is a three-year career program. Compare the exact campus program, language stream and university goal before deciding.

Decision checklist

  • Choose the constituent college and exact program before applying.
  • Distinguish pre-university, technical and Continuing Education routes.
  • Use the campus’s own fee schedule, course grid and student portal.

Separate college residence from an independent rental search

Lennoxville offers apartment-style student residences. Saint-Lambert and St. Lawrence do not have student residences; their housing leads are not inspected or endorsed.

Saint-Lambert: independent housing

Saint-Lambert has no housing or lodging facilities. Use the lodging page as a starting point for an independent housing search. The college receives room or apartment advertisements only occasionally and removes them at semester end or when told a unit is unavailable. A listing is not a college endorsement or a reservation.

Before agreeing to rent, confirm the current availability, address, lease dates, included utilities and total charges with the landlord. Plan your commute to 900 Riverside Drive and inspect the accommodation or arrange a reliable viewing. Student Services can answer questions about the college’s listing process; the rental contract is with the housing provider.

Lennoxville: residence costs and inclusions

Lennoxville: the residence complex on Winder Street has furnished apartments with three or four bedrooms, around a 10–15-minute walk from campus. The 2026–27 published rent is $427 a month. Heating, hot water, electricity, Wi-Fi, laundry, maintenance, security and activities are included; food, linens and daily cleaning are not. Residence parking costs $75 per semester or $150 for the academic year and does not cover parking on Bishop’s University’s campus. Early sports-camp arrival can cost extra.

Lennoxville: applications, leases and cancellation

For Lennoxville’s 2026–27 cycle, first-time residence applications opened January 13, 2026. The college recommends applying before an admission decision; a lease is issued only once college admission is confirmed. First-round admits have priority, while later-round placements depend on space. Returning leases are not automatically renewed. Follow the lease deadline, sign with the required parent/guardian signature, and pay the first month plus the $40 first-time processing fee to secure the reservation.

Lennoxville’s posted pre-year cancellation deadline is June 1. The $40 processing fee is non-refundable; cancellation afterward needs special permission, and approved cancellations carry a one-month notice charge. December graduates using the four-month lease must leave within 24 hours of their last December exam. Confirm your signed lease and current cancellation instructions with Residence Services.

St. Lawrence: housing and commuting

St. Lawrence: the college states it has no student residences. Its housing PDF offers nearby rental leads, but the listed accommodations are not inspected and the list is not a recommendation. No historic listing price is treated here as a current rate. Verify availability, the lease and total costs directly with the landlord. The campus recommends public transit; student drivers need to arrange their own parking because college-lot spaces are reserved for employees.

Decision checklist

  • Choose the housing process for your campus; only Lennoxville lists college residences.
  • Check room availability and lease deadlines before making travel plans.
  • For private rentals, inspect the accommodation and confirm the landlord, charges and commute.

Plan the next step with program and university requirements

Internships and university preparation depend on your program. Check with the receiving university first. Do not assume credit exemptions. Do not assume advanced standing. Do not assume a shorter degree.

Saint-Lambert: placements and onward study

At Saint-Lambert, Computer Science Technology includes an internship in the sixth semester at an outside business, according to its program page. This is a learning part of that one program. It is not proof that every technical program has the same placement. It is not proof that a job is guaranteed.

Bringing earlier study into Champlain is one decision. Applying onward to university is a different decision. Champlain's fee page says this. Marks from other Quebec college-level institutions come through the ministry after admission. But not every course is necessarily integrated. Academic Advisors with Department Heads look at other post-secondary courses one by one. Provide an official transcript and detailed course descriptions. Whole years or semesters are not automatically credited. University courses are not normally granted equivalence.

For onward study, Concordia’s CEGEP admissions page accepts a pre-university or technical DEC as the required credential. The minimum CRC (R-score) and prerequisites depend on the degree. Concordia separately lists course exemptions and articulation agreements for designated DEC programs. Those lists do not establish a blanket Champlain transfer-credit mapping: check the exact program and receiving faculty before assuming advanced standing or a shorter degree.

Lennoxville: placements and university planning

Lennoxville: the Business program beginning in Fall 2026 includes an internship with a local business. Its final-semester Internship and Small Business Start-up courses have a rule. Students must have passed all courses from the first five semesters. The comprehensive assessment is evaluated separately. The program's university section mentions agreements. But no credits or shorter degree are confirmed. You would need current proof from the receiving university. They are not set without it.

For Lennoxville Science, the General profile page tells students aiming at medicine, dentistry or veterinary studies what to do. It says to choose Organic Chemistry and Exploring the Human Body as their options. Treat this as campus course-planning advice. It is not guaranteed eligibility or admission at every university. Compare your intended degree's prerequisites with Academic Advising. The campus guidance service also offers career-choice support, résumé help, interview preparation and job-search guidance.

St. Lawrence: placements and university planning

St. Lawrence: the Business page describes two internships, three weeks at the end of second year and six weeks at the end of third year. It also says DEC-BAC agreements are being revised, and its Fall 2026 course-sequence notice remains pending. Confirm the cohort plan and any named university agreement before budgeting around advanced standing. Students aiming at university business studies need additional mathematics in their CEGEP schedule; the page requires TS Math 5 or SN Math 5 to enrol in those courses.

St. Lawrence's Guidance Counselling service helps with degree choices, prerequisite courses, R-score information, work experience and program changes. Bring your intended university program and your course record to that discussion. Concordia's destination-side requirements linked here explain DEC admission and designated exemptions. They do not establish a universal credit transfer from any of Champlain's campuses.

Decision checklist

  • Use the named campus’s instructions and your current program/cohort.
  • Name the destination degree before asking about transfer.
  • Prepare an official transcript and course descriptions for any equivalency request.
  • Treat advanced standing and exemptions as receiving-institution decisions.
