Mission and Overview
The primary mission of Champlain Regional College is to enable students
to reach their academic and personal objectives.
Champlain Regional College has its head office in Sherbrooke and its
three campuses, including its Lennoxville facility, are each located in a
different region of Quebec,. This CEGEP (French acronym for college of
general and professional education) was founded in 1972. It was named in
honour of the first Governor of New France, Samuel de Champlain.
The Lennoxville campus of Champlain Regional College is situated in the
Borough of Lennoxville of Ville de Sherbrooke, the largest and most
important city in the Eastern Townships. The campus is about two hours
drive from Montreal and within a comfortable day's drive or less of
Ottawa, Quebec City, Toronto, Boston and New York City.
The Lennoxville campus shares the library, pastoral and health
services, the student bookstore, fine arts studio and the sports complex
with Bishop's University. There are about 1000 students who are enrolled
in the different programs that follow. These courses are offered in
English by about 90 teachers. The Lennoxville campus also has 317
residence rooms available to students who want this type of experience and
who qualify according to pre-established criteria.
Programs of Study
The pre-university training program allows students to achieve
university level entrance status in Quebec, Canada or anywhere else in the
world. The course content for this type of preparation usually lasts two
years (4 trimesters) and offers several study profiles to ensure the best
preparation.
The technical training program prepares students to practice a
profession related to their area of study. Technical training programs
normally last three years (6 trimesters).
Both types of training lead to a D.E.C. (Diplôme d'études
collégiales - diploma of collegial studies) and include the general
education phase which offers English, French, humanities and physical
education courses.
What follows is the list of profiles and programs of which you can find

Special Programs
- Welcome Session
This trimester has been set up for students who, according to the
College's criteria, require special academic help. Once this session has
been successfully completed, these students are then enrolled in one of
the regular programs.
- Summer Courses
The College offers a limited number of programs each year starting in
mid-May. These courses are available to regular students as well as to
those from other colleges. Information about these courses is generally
available in mid-April. However, since these courses can only be offered
if there is sufficient enrolment it is preferable to check the current
course list a week prior to the course in question.
- English As A Second Language - Youth
Offered during the summer, this immersion program is aimed at youth,
aged 8 to 11 whose mother tongue is other than English. The pedagogical
approach is dynamic and tailor-made to group situations. It includes
lessons in theory, social, cultural and sports activities and numerous
field trips and other types of outings. This program is offered on both a
"Day" or an "In Residence" basis.
- Adult Education
The Adult Training Centre is located on rue de l'Ontario in Sherbrooke.
Most of the courses it offers lead to an A.E.C. (attestation of collegial
studies), which officially recognises knowledge about a field of study,
and this frequently helps the student to improve his or her work
situation. The centre also offers made-to-measure training, most
especially in English and in computers, to requesting organisations. Many
of the courses are offered in French as well. The Adult Training Centre
has its own Internet site:
www.centre-champlain.qc.ca.
