Academic Calendars & Catalogs

As a prospective Champlain College Online student there is a lot of important information you need to know.

First and foremost, when to submit your application materials, when classes start and end, and when you have breaks along the way. Below we have calendars for our undergraduate and graduate programs to help you with those upcoming dates. 

Also important to know are the college and academic policies you are required to follow, as well as program information and course descriptions for the academic year. At Champlain College we have a College Catalog for our on-campus students, as well as catalogs specifically for our online undergraduate students and graduate students.

Below is a list of application deadlines, class start dates and end dates for each 7-week and 15-week term in our associate degree, bachelor's degree and undergraduate certificate programs.
