Admitted Students Day

Join us on March 22, 2025 or April 12, 2025

You put in the work, you put in the hours, and now that you’re in, get ready to see what your life as a Champlain student will look like. It’s time to cash in your ticket to your future.

This is your chance to ask the questions you need answers to, experience the campus in full-swing, meet new friends, and envision yourself here as a college student. Throughout Saturday’s events, students will get a closer look at their majors and student life, while parents and families will learn about career success and family resources at Champlain, before all coming back together at the Information Fair.

You and the whole family are invited to join us Friday night for an evening of fun before the Admitted Student Day activities, but you’re welcome to come just for Saturday, too.

You’ll park at our Lakeside Campus before hopping on a shuttle to the famous Flynn Theater in downtown Burlington. Once you arrive, we’ll have breakfast, music, trivia, games, and more to get your morning started right. From there, we’ll send you and your family off to the next stop on your fun-filled day!

Tour Campus and Residence Halls

Take a tour of our beautiful hillside campus and explore our academic buildings, library, and more—including our dining hall and its out-of-this-world view! Find all the nooks and crannies of the place you’ll call home!

We’ll also have a special residence hall tour available, so you can get a closer look at the Victorian-era mansions where first-year students live (every room is unique and different!), as well as our contemporary housing for upper-year students.

Admitted Student Day is awesome. It’s great. It provides a lot of information. Champlain is my daughter’s first choice. We came here for a tour and she fell in love with everything. Burlington is a great city for her—and for us to visit. Last night she said, “Everything is perfect here for me. Everyone is so nice and kind.”
