The Cegep Structure
THE COLLEGE SYSTEM IN QUEBEC
In the English language sector of Québec's educational system, students formerly went directly from high school (after
completion of Grade XI) to university. In 1967, the Québec government passed the General and Vocational Colleges Act,
providing for a new level of education following high school, the collegial level. Each college is an independent public
corporation, separate from both high schools and universities. These Community Colleges of General and Vocational
Education, commonly called CEGEP after the initials of the French name, “Collège d'enseignement général et
professionnel”, are distinctive institutions in Québec. They offer two-year general programs, leading to university studies,
and three-year technological programs, serving a wide variety of interests. Tuition-free for Québec residents, the junior
colleges are open to all students who have completed high school.
Champlain College Saint-Lambert Foundation
Each semester during registration, students pay an optional $15 fee to the Champlain College Saint-Lambert Foundation.
The Foundation has also received generous donations from various sponsors such as the Fédération des Caisses Desjardins,
rive-sud and engages in a number of fund-raising events including the Annual Golf Tournament.
Your fees help fund various student-centered projects, such as student awards and scholarships, emergency loans for books
and food, learning resources, extracurricular activities, the renovation of the library and the construction of the new
Nursing labs.
For more information, or to make a donation, please contact Mr. Vince Amato, at 450-672-7360, ext. 359.

Québec law requires students who are not deemed
residents of Québec to pay additional fees of $1198.00 per
semester ($5.85 per course hour for part time students).
Please note that fees are subject to change without notice.
Students who were not born in Québec, and who are not
deemed residents of Québec, will be required to submit
proof of residency to the Admissions Office. The
Admissions Officer will verify the status of all applicants
who applied without a Québec birth certificate. In cases
where proper documentation is missing, the candidates
may be asked to provide additional documentation.
Students from the U.S.A.
Grade 12 graduation is strongly recommended. Applicants
with Grade 11 may apply and will be considered on a case
by case basis depending on the nature of the high school
program followed in the U.S.A.
Applicants to Science programs which have additional
prerequisite requirements in Mathematics, Physics and
Chemistry must submit detailed course descriptions for
courses followed in Grade 11 or 12.
For more information, please refer to our website at
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.

International Students
Applicants from outside Canada and the United States are
normally required to possess a high school diploma from
their country in a pre-university secondary school program.
Applicants without a high school diploma but with at least
11 years of education in a pre-university secondary school
program may apply and will be considered on a case by
case basis. Applicants may wish to obtain an “Opinion of
Equivalence” (Avis d’équivalence) from the Québec
Ministry of Immigration and Cultural Communities, which
will be given serious consideration by the College for
admissions purposes. The ministry’s web address is
www.micc.gouv.qc.ca.
Québec law requires International Students to pay
additional fees of $9,898 per academic year ($4,949 per
semester). The fee for part-time students is $24.06 per
course hour. Please note that these fees are subject to
change without notice.
International students must also provide the following
documentation before arriving in Canada:
A "Certificat d’acceptation du Québec" (C.A.Q.), which
must be obtained from the «Ministère des
communautés culturelles et de l’immigration» of the
Province of Québec;
A "Student Authorization" from the Federal
Government of Canada;
International students should begin the process of
obtaining these documents once they have received their
acceptance letter from Champlain College Saint-Lambert.
International students must provide proof of enrolment in
a comprehensive health and accident insurance plan that is
approved by the college. Students may obtain such an
insurance plan at a cost of approximately $575.00 per year
through the auspices of the College.
Language Requirement
International Students and Permanent Residents whose
mother tongue is not English and/or who have not studied
in English during the last two years are required to submit
official TOEFL results (Test of English as a Foreign
Language). Applicants may present the results of other
tests or examinations providing evidence of college-level
abilities in English. Upon examination of this evidence by
the College, applicants may be exempted from the TOEFL
requirement.
All diploma programs offered by English colleges in Québec
require students to successfully pass two college-level
courses in “French as a Second Language”. In order to
ensure that admitted students will be able to pass these
courses, Champlain Saint-Lambert requires applicants who
have studied outside Québec to demonstrate completion
of approximately 180 hours of French instruction.
Advanced Standing Applicants
Students applying from other Québec CEGEPs, private
colleges, and other government approved college level
institutions must submit a student copy of their bulletin
when applying. Upon admission, their official marks will be
obtained directly from the Ministry of Education and will be
integrated into their Champlain College Saint-Lambert
bulletin.
Equivalences
Equivalences for courses taken at post-secondary
institutions other than Quebec CEGEPs, private colleges or
other government approved college level institutions are
considered on a course-by-course basis by the Academic
Advisors in consultation with the appropriate Department
Coordinator. Credit will not automatically be given for years
or full semesters of study. Champlain College Saint-Lambert
does not normally grant equivalent credit for courses
followed at the university level.
No request for equivalent credit will be considered until the
following documentation has been submitted:
a) A detailed description of the course content.
b) An official transcript.

Application Procedure
Applications are available online through the college
website at the following at www.champlaincollege.qc.ca or
at http://commonapplication.qc.ca. The deadlines for
applying for full-time studies are as follows: March 1 st for
the fall semester and November 1 st for the winter
semester. The application fee is $30.
Student Fee
Once accepted by the College, all applicants pay a Student
Fee of $170.00 per semester (includes an optional $15 fee
for the Champlain College Foundation). Students who have
registered and decide not to attend the College may
receive a refund if it is requested in writing before the first
day of classes. The registration fee component of $20.00 is
non-refundable once the applicant has registered for
courses. See "Fee" section of this Calendar.
NOTE: The Student Fee is subject to change without notice.
Registration
Champlain College Saint Lambert uses an online
registration process. Information regarding Online
Registration will be available online and on individual
student web accounts.
Registration for your courses will be made easier if you
follow these guidelines:
Students should not select course schedules that conflict
with personal commitments (this includes job related
conflicts). They must organize themselves and their
schedules accordingly. Students are required to be
present in class at all times.
FAILURE TO ATTEND A COURSE REGULARLY MAY RESULT
IN A RETROACTIVE CHANGE FROM FULL-TIME STATUS TO
PART-TIME STATUS.
In order to be considered a full-time student, the
minimum number of courses that a student must register
for and attend is four (or 12 hours of classes per week).
Part-time students are required to pay fees at the rate of
$2.00 per course hour. Permission to register as a parttime
student must be obtained from the Registrar.
For special circumstances, please go to the Registrar's
Office (Room F-103) or telephone 450-672-7360 ext. 320
a.s.a.p.
At any time before, during and after registration, the
college reserves the right to change the time or the
teacher assigned to a course as well as the courses
assigned to students, for reasons such as over or under
enrolled courses or for other serious reasons.
For your individual program, please review the appropriate
section of this Calendar to familiarize yourself with your
program courses

BYLAW NUMBER 8 CONCERNING STUDENT SUCCESS
For information regarding BYLAW NUMBER 8 CONCERNING STUDENT SUCCESS, please refer to www.champlainonline.com
under By-Laws.
A. Course Loads
OTHER ACADEMIC REGULATIONS & INFORMATION
In order to complete their program within the prescribed
period of time, students are expected to carry and attend a
full course load (See “Programs” section of this calendar).
In order to be considered a full-time student, the minimum
number of courses that a student must register for and
attend is four (or 12 hours of classes per week). Failure to
attend a course regularly may result in a retroactive change
from full-time status to part-time status. Part-time students
are required to pay fees at the rate of $2.00 per course hour.
Permission to register as a part-time student must be
obtained from the Director of Academic Resources/Registrar.
C. Program Changes
A student may request a change of program for the
following semester. The deadlines for program changes will
be posted on the college website. These deadlines may be
extended if there is sufficient space in a program. Students
are not automatically accepted into a new program.
Decisions are based on several criteria such as high school
grades, prerequisite course grades and satisfactory
performance in the student’s current program. A change of
program does not automatically protect a student from the
consequences of a failed semester, which could include
being asked to leave the college.
Application to take an additional course in excess of the
regular course load for a program must be made at
registration to the Registrar. In general, students would be
eligible to take an extra course following a semester in which
they have successfully completed a full course load
appropriate for their program with a minimum 75% overall
average.
B. Course Adjustments
Students should take great care in selecting their courses
during registration, as preference course change is not
permitted. That is, courses may not be changed for
personal reasons such as part-time jobs, teacher preference
or time preference. Certain course adjustments will be
authorized up to and including the 5 th day of classes in a
semester, but only for serious reasons such as correcting a
placement level to a higher or lower version of a course.
Students must see an Academic Advisor in order to make
these changes.
D. Policy on Confidentiality
College policy and Bill 65 of the Province of Québec guarantee
the confidentiality of every student's file at Champlain. No
information can be released to anyone, including parents, or
to any agency without the express written permission of the
student. The only exceptions are certain designated members
of the College administration, as well as the parents of
students under 18 years of age. The College encourages all
students, however, to keep their parents informed and
involved in their education. The Academic Advisors are always
available to both parents and students to consult with regard
to the subject of confidentiality.

E. Course Withdrawals
Students are permitted to withdraw from courses up to and
including September 19 th* in the Fall semester and February
14 th* in the Winter semester. Students who stop attending a
course before these dates and who do not officially withdraw
(in person at the Registrar’s Office) are considered to be
registered in the course and will receive a failure. In addition, if
a student’s attendance in a course cannot be verified as of
September 20st or February 15 th , and if the student is not in
actual attendance in at least 4 courses (or 12 hours per week),
the student’s status may be changed retroactively to parttime.
At that moment, the student will be required to pay parttime
tuition fees required at the rate of $2.00 per course hour.
(*Ministerial dates)
F. College Withdrawals
Students who must withdraw from the college are required
to complete the appropriate form at the Registrar’s Office.
Students who withdraw from all classes after September
19th in the Fall semester, or February 14 th in the Winter
semester, will receive failures in all courses for which they
have registered and will be subject to regulations regarding
re-admission.

SUMMER SCHOOL
Summer School is a limited optional session which is
available for students who need to make up for failed or
dropped courses or for students who may have had a
reduced course load during their program. Restrictions do
apply to taking Summer School courses. The first priority is
for students who require summer courses in order to
complete requirements for their program. Students may
also take Summer School in order to reduce their course
load for the following semester, but they should consult an
Academic Advisor to determine if there are any
consequences. For instance, a reduced course load may
make a student ineligible for the Dean’s List or Honour Roll
in a future semester.
Students who require courses to graduate at the end of
Summer School are usually exempt from tuition fees,
although a small registration fee will apply. Non-graduating
students who take summer courses will be required to pay
tuition fees in the amount of $2.00 per course hour.
Please note: Students may take a Summer School course at
another Cegep only if their requirements cannot be met at
Champlain College Saint-Lambert. Many courses are NOT
available during Summer School or cannot be taken at
other colleges. Students should consult with an Academic
Advisor for more information.
The selection of courses during the summer is limited.
Students are responsible for determining their Summer
School requirements. Academic Advisors can advise a
student about the possibilities for alternative courses in
Summer School that will replace, or substitute for, failed or
dropped courses.
Summer School at Champlain College Saint-Lambert usually
begins during the first week of June, often on the first
Monday. The length of the Summer School session varies,
depending on the nature of the course. Information on
registration dates and courses offered is usually available at
the end of March. Students may contact the registrar’s
office for more information.

International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (200.10)
The IB Diploma program is designed for students who are
interested in a well-rounded, enriched and challenging
college education. It provides students with a broad and
comprehensive education in Languages and Literature,
Mathematics, Experimental Sciences, Social Sciences and
the Humanities. The IB diploma, recognized by all Quebec
universities as well as universities in Canada, the U.S. and
countries around the world, is an excellent preparation for
students intending to pursue university studies in Law,
International Relations, Literature, Engineering, Physical
Sciences, Biological Sciences, Mathematics, Medicine, Social
Sciences and Commerce either at home or abroad. In May
of their final semester in the program IB students write a
total of six (6) IB examinations - three (3) at the Higher level
and three (3) at the Standard level. The subjects and level
of examinations students will write is determined by the
specific IB Diploma program option for which they register.
Cote de rendement (cote R)
Québec universities admit students on the basis of the
“cote de rendement collégiale”, otherwise known as the
cote R. For students in the IB program Quebec universities
assign a bonus to all IB students upon successful
completion of the IB program. McGill University and many
others actively recruit IB graduates.
Admission Requirements
All applicants to the IB diploma program should have a
Québec Diploma of Secondary Studies or its equivalent with
a good grounding in both English and French. Students
applying to the IB Sciences option should have completed
Mathematics TS 5 or SN 5, Secondary 5 Physics and
Secondary 5 Chemistry. Due to limited space in the
program, and based on the overall average of previous
Champlain IB students, it is suggested that students
applying to the IB program have an 80% average as well
as a minimum of 80% in Chemistry, Physics and
Mathematics. Even if candidates to programs meet the
requirements of the Règlement sur le régime des études
collégiales, they may be refused due to lack of spaces.
For more information, please refer to our website at
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.
Second Language Curriculum
All IB students are required to follow a second language
curriculum. The two language options at Champlain are
French and Spanish. In most cases, students will be
required to take French as a second language. However,
students with a sufficiently high level of ability in French as
a mother tongue, will be offered the possibility of taking
beginners Spanish instead of French. Please note that the
Spanish option is not available to students who have taken
Spanish in high school.
Fees
Students pay IB examination fees and administrative fees of
$400 per term ($800 per year) as well as the Student Fee
(see fee section of this calendar). Financial assistance is
available through the Quebec Loans and Bursaries Program.

the course is not required for the completion of the program and is thus
considered by the Ministry of Education as an “hors-programme” course. It
is not required by universities for admission into science programs. The
College’s priority is to build a course load that meets the official
requirements of the IB Science program; since Calculus III is not a required
course, any IB Science student wishing to take the course, space permitting,
must pay an additional $6.00 per course hour.
Please feel free to contact an Academic Advisor on this matter or any other
questions related to admission requirements in university.

students are equipped to pursue university-level studies in
the areas of health or pure & applied science.
Graduate Profile
The graduate exit profile indicates to the student what he or
she is expected to achieve by the time the program is
completed. It is developed by examining the major goals of
the program and distilling them into a set of attributes that
represent the program at the local level. In addition, the
profile also presents the abilities that will be used to assess
each attribute. The attributes and abilities are:
Possess the knowledge required for a basic college-level
scientific education
Demonstrate the attainment of the program specified
competencies
Demonstrate the power as well as the limitations of
science and technology in society
Demonstrate the implications of scientific and
technological change for society
Establish links between the various subjects in the
program

to successfully complete Biology 101-NYA, Chemistry 202-
NYB, Physics 203-NYB and Mathematics 201-NYB which
contain the IA. Each of the Biology, Chemistry, Physics and
the Mathematics departments are responsible for
implementing an IA in the previously listed courses.
Comprehensive Assessment
Prior to graduating from the Science program, Science
students must show that they have met the attributes
contained in the Graduate Profile. Each Science department
and the Mathematics department offers final year courses
designed to assess all the attributes of the Graduate Profile
by assessing several of the abilities listed therein.
In order to demonstrate that they have met the attributes
contained in the Graduate Profile, students must complete
Physics 203-NYB and 3 courses selected from:

Program Overview
A major objective of the Social Science program is to
provide a progression of courses (Level I “Introductory”
courses followed by Level II “in-depth” courses) that help
students to understand the social sciences as an integrated
body of knowledge.
By acquiring the basic concepts that are fundamental to
a full understanding of the social sciences, students are
prepared to undertake a wide range of university
programs.
The Social Science program provides students with the tools
to address the challenges in life and to achieve a better
understanding of the cultures and environment of the world
in which we live.
Upon completion of the Social Science program, students
can pursue their university studies in the following fields:
Administration
Anthropology
Civil Service
Computer Science
Commerce
Communications
Decisional Sciences
Economics
Education
English
Finance
Geography
Foreign Affairs
History
Industrial
Resources
Journalism
Law
Marketing

Religion
Social Work
Sociology
Specialized Writing
Graduate Profile
The graduate exit profile indicates what students are
expected to achieve by the time the program is
completed. It outlines three main areas of expertise:
knowledge, thinking and learning in the social sciences.
At Champlain these major areas and their related
abilities are as follows:
Knowledge of disciplinary content means that students
• identify the main disciplinary-specific and
transdisciplinary facts, notions, terms, principles,
concepts and questions and apply this knowledge
appropriately
• explain the major disciplinary-specific and
transdisciplinary theories, laws, models, approaches and
schools of thought in relation to their authors and
concrete situations
Knowledge of social science methods means that
students
• use empirical evidence to support their conclusions
• apply their knowledge of the scientific approach to
empirical data
• demonstrate a knowledge and application of
qualitative and quantitative research methods
Thinking like a social scientist means
• demonstrating qualities associated with a scientific
mind and critical thinking
• recognizing the utility as well as the limitations of
theory
• selecting appropriate theoretical frameworks to explain
social issues
• situating various issues related to informed,
responsible participation in a world-wide context
• understanding ethical issues across the disciplines
• drawing connections between different disciplines
• drawing connections between knowledge in social
science courses and everyday life that ultimately lead
to an understanding of people, groups and cultures
• integrating learning acquired throughout the program
by identifying key concepts, theories and methods
from diverse disciplines and using these to analyze
social issues

Successful students in the social sciences
• use learning strategies that allow them to reach their
short and long-term goals and serve as a solid
foundation for future studies
• recognize main thesis and/or author’s purpose,
supporting details and the relationships among ideas
in different texts
• communicate ideas clearly in written format
• communicate ideas orally in a clear and coherent
fashion
• work effectively as a member of a group
• integrate their learning throughout the program
• use appropriate self-assessment techniques to reflect
on their own learning
• read and understand basic social science documents
written in French
• use appropriate information-processing technologies
• demonstrate awareness of the need to develop
lifestyle habits conducive to good physical, emotional
and intellectual health
Comprehensive Assessment
According to the Exit Profile for the Social Science
program, successful students graduate with an
understanding of human phenomena from a social
scientific perspective. They acquire a thorough
knowledge of disciplinary content and research methods
in the social sciences and extend their ability to think,
communicate and learn effectively. The elements of the
Exit Profile are practiced throughout the various social
science courses and especially in the final course, the
Integration Seminar in the Social Sciences (see above).
The successful Integrated Interdisciplinary Paper that
students write in this course signals that the student has
met the criteria for the program’s Comprehensive
Assessment.
Integrative Activity
Social Science students must demonstrate that they have
integrated knowledge from their Social Science courses.
Although the integration of concepts, theories and
research methods occurs throughout the program it is the
main focus of the Integration Seminar in the Social
Sciences (ISSS) course offered the graduating semester. In
this course, students evaluate their learning approach and
review key concepts, theories and issues they have dealt
with in their Social Science courses. The focal point of the
course is the Integrated Interdisciplinary Paper in which
students examine a social issue from the perspective of at
least two social sciences disciplines and one theoretical
framework. Students present their major findings orally
and critically assess their final paper. This integrative
activity prepares the students for university studies and
meets the requirement of the Comprehensive
Assessment.

General Program Goal
Champlain College Saint-Lambert seeks to provide a high
quality of education for its students and to ensure that
graduates have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to
function effectively in their personal and professional lives.
Champlain College Saint-Lambert places an emphasis on
providing education that allows the student to acquire and
integrate the general knowledge, intellectual skills, attitudes,
and experiences needed by an individual to achieve a level of
competency appropriate to a two-year CEGEP pre-university
graduate, preparing for advanced studies at a university, while
functioning more fully as a person and as a member of society.
As such, through knowledge and experience, students will
develop their abilities to work as members of groups and work
with people who are different from themselves. Students will
take specific courses in English, French and Humanities that
will be relevant to their field of study.
In designing the Creative Arts, Literature and Languages
program at Champlain College Saint-Lambert, every effort was
made to create options that would best prepare the graduate
for studies at the university level. Decisions on option
configurations were based on the academic needs of our
current student base entering universities.

For information about our program, and
examples of student work, visit our website at:
www.creativeartschamplain.com
The Creative Arts option provides an introduction to art,
culture and many forms of media. We emphasize a handson
approach to learning and creating. Our goal is to develop
creative, technically skilled, visually literate students who
have an opportunity to explore their emerging areas of
interest. Our courses are designed to give students
experience in writing, producing and critiquing their own
work.
In a common first semester, all students are introduced to a
variety of traditional and new media in three introductory
production courses. You will then choose one of three profiles
to specialize in over the next three semesters:
• Digital Imaging and Studio Arts
• Film/Video/Communications
• Photography/Design
You will choose the profile that best suits your university
and/or career aspirations. We have arranged your courses
into profiles so you are absolutely guaranteed to get the
courses you choose. Of course, choosing one profile doesn’t
mean that you have no interest in the others. Therefore,
the program has been designed to permit students to take
option courses from the other profiles in your third and
fourth semesters. These option courses and the three
introductory courses combined with the area of
specialization give you a well-rounded background suitable
for admission to many university programs in addition to
those programs directly related to Creative Arts and
Communications.

Portfolio
Your final semester includes a course that is specially
designed to help you prepare a portfolio of your work. You
will also be given help in writing your resume and a letter of
intent in time for you to submit applications to universities
and/or industry.
Modern Languages Option
The Modern Languages option is designed to give students a
thorough study of French, Spanish, and Italian. Students are
introduced to the culture and civilization of the languages
that they study as they master grammar, critical reading and
writing. The languages in this option were selected to
provide students a proper preparation for advanced studies
in domestic and international business, journalism,
government, historical and medical research, architecture,
teaching, interpretation and translation.
The Modern Languages option emphasizes critical awareness
of cultural variations and issues in world civilizations and global
regions. Students are introduced to cultural and literary
analysis and research using primary texts, secondary literature,
and computerized data resources. Italian was chosen because
for many centuries, it has been the language of culture, and in
recent times Italy has become one of the world's leading
industrial and economic powers. Spanish was chosen because
it is the second most popular language of business after
English and because of the economic and cultural
development between Canada and the United States. French
was chosen to ensure that our students leave the college with
a mastery of both of Canada’s official languages.

Creative Arts Profiles and Graduate Profile
Creative Arts Option
Profiles
There are three distinct profiles which share a common first
semester. As of the second semester, students specialize in
a profile of their choosing. In the third and fourth
semesters, students in each profile are permitted to take an
optional course in profiles other than their own, thereby
giving each student a well-rounded exposure to various
media used for expression.
1. Digital Imaging/Studio Arts allows students to create
works with traditional art-making techniques such as
drawing, painting and sculpture, and with digital imaging
in both 2D and 3D applications. They will learn how the
computer can be an artist's tool, how the screen is a kind
of canvas, and how sculpture can be designed in both real
and virtual space. Students practise traditional art-making
techniques concurrently with the newer digital methods.
2. Film/Video/Communications is designed to educate
students about film and video from a variety of
perspectives - aesthetic, historical, technical, and
theoretical. The profile has a “hands-on” approach, and
working individually and in teams, students create
original productions in a variety of styles and
situations, including fiction, documentary, and
animation.
3. Photo/Design teaches students about photography and
design in contemporary media, through a variety of both
practical and theoretical study. Integrating digital and
traditional media, students will learn to express their own
ideas in practical courses merging technical aspects of
photography and design, and the visual language
associated with modern communications.

Liberal Arts Program (700.B0)
Entrance Requirement
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma
of College Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a
Secondary School Diploma including CST 4 Math or have
completed a level of education that is deemed equivalent
by the College. Additional admissions requirements can be
found in the admission section of this calendar.

Program Overview
The Liberal Arts program offers students the opportunity to
learn about major aspects of Western Civilization in an
integrated manner. Students follow courses in literature,
philosophy, the humanities, religion, and history as well as
the history of art and science. Students have the
opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizons by
choosing additional courses (see Option courses below). In
the structured approach, students focus on one specific era
in each semester, and are introduced to the literature, the
history and the philosophical currents of this defined
period in each of the compulsory disciplines, thus
benefiting from a cross-fertilization of ideas. Graduates are
well-rounded individuals with a broad understanding of the
dominant ideas of Western Civilization, a sense of the
humanistic tradition, and of what it means to be human
while producing knowledgeable citizens. Students will be
expected to participate in a certain number of extracurricular
cultural activities.
University Preparation
The Liberal Arts program is unique insofar as it avoids overspecialization
and has been designed to prepare
academically oriented students for almost all university
programs. It does so by giving students the unique occasion
to achieve coherence and breadth in their studies while
allowing them to enrol in a wide variety of subjects across
the curriculum. The program is devised for students who
value freedom of choice in the selection of their courses as
well as an integrated and creative approach to their
collegial education. The program will be of special interest
to students seeking an excellent preparation for eventual
university studies in law, communication, journalism, social
studies, education, and other liberal arts subjects.
Integrative Activity
To ensure that students are prepared for the integrative
assessment at the end of their studies, each compulsory
course has a requirement that students pass both the
summative assessment at the end of the course as well as
the general term work in order to earn a passing grade for
the semester, in conformity with the local policy on the
assessment of student learning.
Comprehensive Assessment
To fulfill the program requirements for graduation,
students must complete a comprehensive assessment
activity. The comprehensive assessment will be met
through the writing of an extended essay and a final essay
exam. Both of these will require students to demonstrate
their achievement of the abilities and knowledge objectives
pursued by the program. These activities will take place
within 360-126 Liberal Arts Essay Seminar in their
graduating semester.

Sport Marketing & Management (410.D3) - Business Management Program (410.D0)
Entrance Requirement
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma
of College Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a
Quebec Secondary School Diploma including Math CST 4 or
have completed a level of education that is deemed
equivalent by the College. Additional admissions
requirements can be found in the admission section of this
calendar.
For more information, please refer to our website at
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.
General Program Goal
The three-year Sport Marketing & Management program is
designed to prepare well-educated, competent, ethical and
purposeful graduates to enter the field of Sport Marketing
and/or Management as junior marketers, administrators and
managers. This is accomplished by offering a program that
emphasizes a broad general education, strong critical thinking
skills, well-develop and relevant software skills,
professionalism, and practical experience.
Integrative Activity
Integrative activities are part of most program-specific
courses. However, the major integrative activities are in the
form of the Practicum courses in sales and sport marketing -
reflecting the two main areas of study in the program - the
Field Work in Sport/Independent Study course in the fifth
semester. In the Practicum courses, students are coached
through viable implementations of real-world cases. One of
the biggest differences between the Practicum courses and
the other courses is that students will work on projects that
can be produced, marketed or sold. For these courses,
students will be required to work in a group - forming a
Practicum executive of between three and five people. Each
person will have positions such as market researcher,
product manager, financial manager, and creative director.
This will force students to be organized within their
executive, and to prove that they can work well as part of a
team. In the Practicum courses, students integrate the
knowledge and skill they amassed in previous courses and
develop a viable product or solution to a problem that is of
high quality, delivered on time, on budget and to a market’s
satisfaction. The Field Work in Sport/Independent Study in
Sport is essential for providing hands-on experience in
applying academic material in a non-academic setting. It also
gives students the opportunity to integrate and apply what
they have learned in the classroom to a real job.
Comprehensive Assessment
The Comprehensive Assessment occurs in the Sport
Management Internship and comprises two components for
evaluation:
1. The internship company’s evaluation of the student’s
performance and competencies in the form of a
standardized questionnaire, worth 25% of the
evaluation.
2. The student-written Internship Report and defence of
the report are worth 75% of the evaluation.
The report must include a brief description of the
organization that the student worked for and a detailed
summary of how the student’s time was spent and what
achievements were attained. The report must refer back to
the Internship contract and must detail the personal
learning objectives that were achieved. The report will refer
to three management concepts that the student learned
during his/her studies and describe how each can be used to
explain the Internship experience. The report must detail
how management concepts were applied or, if applicable,
why a concept wasn’t applied. The report must also include
samples of work completed during the Internship. After the
report is submitted, the student must do an Internship
Presentation and Defence. In front of a committee, the
student will place in context and review his/her Internship
experience with the committee members. If the committee
determines that the Internship requirements designated at
any previous time have not been met, they may require that
the student remediate to fulfill these requirements. For
example, the committee could require the student to
complete an additional literature review, relevant to the
Internship, or to back-up his/her report with data.
Students who do not attain the objectives will be informed
of what is lacking in their work and be allowed to re-submit
the assessment, either in the current session if time
permits, or in a subsequent semester.
Graduate Profile
Students graduating from the program will:
• Be able to express themselves logically and concisely in

consumer products and services (reflecting the two main
areas of study in the program). In the practicum courses,
students are coached through viable implementations of
real-world cases. One of the biggest differences between the
practicum courses and the other courses is that students will
work on projects that can be produced and executed while
integrating the knowledge and skill that they amassed in
previous courses and develop a viable campaign or solution
to a problem. The campaign or solution must be of high
quality, delivered on time and within budget and to a
market’s satisfaction. For these courses, students will be
required to work in a group - forming a practicum executive
of between three and five people. Each person will have
positions such as market researcher, public relations
coordinator, financial manager and creative director. This will
force students to be organized within their executive, and to
prove that they can work well as part of a team.
Comprehensive Assessment
The Comprehensive Assessment occurs in the Advertising &
Media Internship and comprises two components for
evaluation:
1. The internship company’s evaluation of the student’s
performance and competencies in the form of a
standardized questionnaire, worth 50% of the
evaluation.
2. The student-written Internship Report and defence of
the report worth 50% of the evaluation.
For the latter, the report must include a brief description of
the organization that the student worked for and a
summary of the Internship accomplishments in which a
description of how the student’s time was spent and what
achievement were attained is detailed. The report must
refer back to the Internship contract and must detail the
personal learning objectives that were achieved. The report
will refer to three management concepts that the student
learned during his/her studies and describe how each can
be used to explain the Internship experience. Finally, the
report must also include samples of work completed during
the Internship. After the report is submitted, the student
must do an Internship Presentation and Defence. In front of
a committee, the student will place in context and review
his/her Internship experience with the committee
members. If the committee determines that the Internship
requirements designated at any previous time have not
been met, they may require that the student does
additional work to fulfill these requirements. For example,
the committee could require the student to complete an
additional literature review, relevant to the Internship, or
to back-up his/her report with data.
Students who demonstrate that they have achieved the
objectives of the program at an acceptable standard in the
comprehensive assessment will have the notation RE
(réussi; passed) entered on their transcript. Students who
do not attain the objectives will be informed of what is
lacking in their work and be allowed to re-submit the
assessment, either in the current session if time permits, or
in a subsequent semester.

courses are integrative activities involving all of the
Computer Science program-specific competencies as either
prerequisites or within the following courses:

• 420-514 Practicum 1: System Development
• 420-612 Practicum 2: System Implementation
• 420-611 Workstudy 2: Externship
The “Practicums 1 & 2” are an integrative activity generally
undertaken in pairs and involve students working on all
phases of a live project (where possible) - analysis, design,
development and implementation. The students will
perform a feasibility study, analyze the current situation,
design alternative solutions, and present these to
“management” for a consensus on a plan of action. They
then perform a detailed analysis and design of the proposed
solution and develop it using a variety of software and
programming languages which are generally previously
unknown to the students. All projects involve programming,
database, graphical user interfaces and internet
programming. The externship is an integrative activity that
provides students with an opportunity to use the
knowledge and skills learned in a real-life industry setting
and to do this autonomously in an unfamiliar computer
environment. Students will be required to give an oral
presentation to their colleagues and faculty and to submit a
written report outlining the projects completed on stage,
their work environment and a self-evaluation of their
experience. The major part of the mark for the externship
component is an outside assessment by the company
supervisor. The portfolio will be assessed by the team of
“externship” teachers on the competencies and abilities
outlined in the Graduate Profile. Students must meet all
objectives to pass the comprehensive assessment. Those
students not succeeding on their first try will be given an
opportunity to resubmit the portfolio one week later for reassessment.
The portfolio consists of three parts as outlined
below:
Part 1: The overview includes:
• an overview of the program completed
• a self-assessment of the computer technology skills
attained
• a self-assessment of the communication skills attained
• a self-assessment of the career/business skills attained
• a self-assessment of the personal characteristics
attained
• a preliminary career plan - 1, 2 and 5 year plan
Part 2: The work study project includes:
• updated résumé
• mid-point and final evaluations from company
supervisors
• copy of official transcript
• hard-copy of the PowerPoint stage oral presentation
• a self-evaluation of the work study experience
Part 3: College projects include:

and data models
• highlights of the final project - executive summary,
user guide extracts, etc.
• a reflection on the teamwork experiences in final
project and other third year courses
• a review of experience with the various platforms.
General Program Goal
In accordance with the general goals of the technical
training, the Computer Science program-specific
component of the Programming for Web, Multimedia
and Business option aims to:
• enable students to acquire competence in the
exercise of the occupation; to carry out the functions,
tasks and activities of the occupation at the level
required for entry into the job market;
• help students integrate into professional life by giving
them a general knowledge of the job market; as well
as an understanding of the specific context of the
selected occupation;
• foster the students’ personal growth and encourage
continuing professional development;

helping them to acquire career-management skills.
Programming for Web, Multimedia and Business is a
three-year option offering theoretical and practical work
in computer subjects. The option is designed for students
entering the job market after graduation but students
may also continue their education at the university level.
Students who intend to pursue university should consult
an Academic Advisor. In certain instances advanced
standing may be obtained at university for courses
completed at the college level.
Entrance Requirement
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma
of College Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a
Secondary School Diploma or have completed a level of
education that is deemed equivalent by the College.

Nursing (180.A0)
The Exit Profile
The Exit Profile of the graduate nurse is informed by the
OIIQ document ‘Outlook on the Practice of Nursing’ (2005),
and more particularly by the section entitled ‘Goal of
Nursing Practice’. Nursing practice enables people (person,
family, group and/or community) to take charge of their
health, according to their capacities and the resources
available in their environment, regardless of their stage of
life and regardless of their phase of illness. Nursing practice
also has the purpose of enabling persons to ensure their
own well-being and to maintain a good quality of life.
The Exit Profile encompasses seven aspects of nursing
practice that the graduate is expected to fulfill in his/her
role as nurse. These include: the nurse-patient partnership,
health promotion, prevention of disease, accidents and
social problems, the therapeutic process, functional
rehabilitation, quality of life and professional commitment.
For each of these seven dimensions, the relevant elements
of practice for the new graduate are described henceforth.
1. NURSE-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP Principle: All patients are
responsible for their own health. When patients express a
need or expectation, the graduate nurse, taking into
account patients’ capacities, encourages them to mobilize
their personal resources and those available in the
environment. The nurse-patient alliance is established
through a relationship characterized by mutual respect and
shared objectives.
Elements of Practice:
1.1 The graduate nurse recognizes that each patient is
unique as a person. The graduate nurse establishes a
partnership with the patient and helps the family participate
in the care of the patient. This partnership is reflected in the
nurse’s approach, notably by her attentiveness and the way
in which she responds to needs and expectations expressed
by the patient.
1.2 The graduate nurse uses a nursing process to plan care
and treatment activities with patients based on their needs
and expectations. In the Therapeutic Nursing Plan, the
graduate nurse uses strategies that ensure continuity and
follow-up of nursing and medical care and treatment, and
helps patients to use their personal resources as well as
resources available within their environment.
2. HEALTH PROMOTION
Principle: All patients aspire to health and well-being. The
graduate nurse helps patients to implement their choices
while respecting their capacities, which may vary over time.
Patients’ choices are dependent upon their expectations,
personal resources and the resources within their
environment.
Elements of Practice:
2.1 The graduate nurse helps patients to use and broaden
their personal repertoire of resources to maintain or to
improve their health and well-being. The graduate nurse
facilitates knowledge transfer of health-related information
to patients and helps them to make choices. The graduate
nurse acknowledges the health-related behaviours that
patients have acquired and takes patients’ learning styles
into account in the teaching-learning process.
2.2 The graduate nurse trains/informs others in the care
delivery context who can help the patient in health
promotion activities. The graduate nurse collaborates with
the patient when choosing the most relevant educational
strategies.
3. PREVENTION of DISEASE, ACCIDENTS and SOCIAL
PROBLEMS
Principle: All patients face risks related to their state of
health, living habits, life transitions or to the environment.
The graduate nurse helps patients to identify potential
problems related to these risks and helps patients adapt to
actual problems in order to maintain their health and wellbeing.
Elements of Practice:
3.1 In collaboration with patients and other health
professionals, the graduate nurse carries out programs and
care activities to prevent infections, accidents, crisis
situations or violence. The graduate nurse assesses risks for
patients. When a risk situation is detected, the graduate
nurse determines the appropriate screening and preventive
measures. The graduate nurse ensures that monitoring and
follow-up measures are integrated into the therapeutic
nursing plan.
3.2 The graduate nurse determines the need for restraint
measures to protect the patient, after evaluating alternate
possible solutions and consulting members of the
interdisciplinary team as necessary. The graduate nurse
determines and records the clinical monitoring parameters
in the patient’s therapeutic nursing plan. The graduate
nurse carries out diagnostic procedures for screening
purposes and performs vaccinations in conjunction with
public health-related activities.

3.3 The graduate nurse helps patients become aware of
their personal resources, informs them of the resources
available within their environment and helps them deal with
their specific health-related situation/context. The graduate
nurse pays particular attention to patients who are
vulnerable or at risk.
In co-operation with other health professionals, the
graduate nurse engages in activities intended to correct
practices and policies that may lead to health and social
problems.
4. THERAPEUTIC PROCESS
Principle: All patients who know the diagnosis of their
health-related problem have a need to be cared for,
treated, informed, reassured and comforted. The graduate
nurse assesses the patient’s physical and mental status, and
in collaboration with the patient determines the nursing
care and treatment required to maintain, restore or
improve their health or to help the patient die with dignity.
The graduate nurse encourages patients to participate, to
the best of their abilities, in the care and treatments
stipulated in the therapeutic nursing plan. The graduate
nurse ensures that these interventions are carried out,
provides patients with the assistance they require and
monitors their responses throughout the therapeutic
process.
Elements of Practice:
4.1 The graduate nurse assesses the patient’s physical and
mental health status and formulates the therapeutic nursing
plan. The graduate nurse demonstrates effective clinical
skills and makes appropriate decisions based on patients’
health related situations. The graduate nurse ensures a
therapeutic presence for each patient and reassures the
patient as required. The graduate nurse informs patients of
their state of health, and the care and treatment they will
receive. The graduate nurse provides nursing care and
treatment, and carries out required invasive procedures.
The graduate nurse develops the nursing treatment plan for
wounds and alterations of the skin/teguments and provides
the required care and treatment to patients. The graduate
nurse co-ordinates care and treatment activities for a group
of patients for which he/she is responsible, taking each
patient’s priorities into account. The graduate nurse ensures
that patients receive the care and treatment stipulated for
them in the therapeutic nursing plan.
4.2 The graduate nurse identifies patients’ learning needs
and facilitates knowledge and skills acquisition, supporting
patients in the process.
4.3 The graduate nurse knows the trajectory of the disease,
recognizes mourning and loss reactions in patients, and
accompanies patients and their families as required. The
graduate nurse clarifies the meaning of mourning or loss
with individual patients and their families.
4.4 The graduate nurse ensures that patients are informed
about the diagnostic measures, invasive examinations and
medical treatments that they are undergoing. The graduate
nurse initiates diagnostic measures and performs invasive
diagnostic examinations/tests, according to prescription.
The graduate nurse provides and adjusts medical
treatments, including medications, according to individual
and/or collective prescriptions and protocols of the health
care institution. The graduate nurse intervenes in
emergencies, crises and situations of violence, according to
patients’ needs and policies of the health care institution.
4.5 The graduate nurse ensures that patients know the
desired effects and side effects of medications administered
to them. The graduate nurse evaluates the effects of care,
treatments and medications and monitors for their
effectiveness, including adverse reactions. The graduate
nurse intervenes as the situation requires, makes
appropriate clinical decisions and adjusts the therapeutic
nursing plan as required.
4.6 The graduate nurse ensures ongoing monitoring of
patients’ physical and mental status, so as to track the
evolution of their health status and detecting complications
in a timely manner. The graduate nurse evaluates the
effects of care and treatments in conjunction with relevant
parameters, including clinical monitoring data and patients’
reactions. The graduate intervenes appropriately in relation
to identified problems and risks, and adjusts the therapeutic
nursing plan as required. As relevant to his/her field of
practice, the graduate nurse provides prenatal, perinatal
and postpartum care.
4.7 The graduate nurse provides clinical follow-up for
patients with complex health problems by assessing and
monitoring their condition and adjusting the therapeutic
nursing plan and prescribed therapeutic medical plan. This is
conducted in collaboration with patients within an
interdisciplinary perspective, and in collaboration with
relevant departments and appropriate professional and
health care institutions. The graduate nurse records all
clinical information required for monitoring the patient’s
condition and for ensuring continuity of care and treatment,
including data related to clinical assessments, identified
problems, the therapeutic nursing plan and its adjustments,
interventions and outcomes, as well as patients’ reactions.
The graduate nurse ensures that patients’ records are kept
up to date.

5. FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION
Principle: All patients who experience limitations
subsequent to an illness or accident can expand their selfcare
repertoire and enhance their well-being in relation to
their capabilities. The graduate nurse accompanies patients
when they are attempting to recover a new equilibrium and
to adapt to their environment.
Elements of Practice:

courses, students will be introduced to some of the
principal ideas and problems of Western philosophy. The
following questions, among others, will be addressed:
What is the mind? Does the external world truly exist?
What, if anything, can be known with certainty to be

Meaning, and Life’s Problems: Exploring Philosophy
(Complementary course - open to all students)
The study of philosophy is the study of ourselves and our
world – an attempt to explain the deeper meaning of
things. What does it mean to be human? Is there a soul
or life after death? What is the best way to organize
society? Can war ever be justified? How should we think
about science and new technologies? How should we
approach relationships, sex and love? What is the
difference between appearances and reality? This course

Theory of Knowledge I
(Humanities for International Baccalaureate students
only)
This is the first course of a two course sequence in the
Theory of Knowledge. The principal objective of these
courses is to develop student awareness of and sensitivity
to similarities and differences in the forms of knowledge.
Two general questions are at the heart of these courses:
How do I know that something is the case (i.e., true)? and
how are knowledge claims within a particular discipline
justified? In this first course, the role of language in
conditioning thinking and feeling, the various forms of
logical inquiry, and the nature of science will be explored.
The main objective of this course is to develop student
ability to communicate effectively, and to think clearly and
logically. To achieve these objectives, the course will begin
by considering the nature of language, the role it plays in
shaping and transmitting ideas and information, and its
connection with knowledge and values. Attention will also
be devoted to the study of logic. Deductive logic, as well as
inductive logic, will be explored together with an
examination of some of the more common informal
fallacies. The course will conclude with an examination of
natural science and the pattern of inquiry peculiar to it.

Theory of Knowledge II
(Humanities for IB students only)
This course is the second and final course in the Theory of
Knowledge sequence. Building on the ideas studied in ToK
I, students, in this course, will consider questions and
issues connected with “knowledge” and “knowing” in the
social sciences, history, ethics and aesthetics. In particular
students will explore the relationship between objects of
knowledge and the socio-cultural context of the "patterns
of inquiry" connected with their construction. The
following are among some of the more specific questions
to be considered: Are "facts" objective, or are they theory
laden? Are there historical facts which all historians must
acknowledge? Is the fact value dichotomy tenable, or is it
a vestige of a discredited epistemology? Is the scientific
method the only reliable method available to human
agents seeking knowledge? Are there “objective”
standards in ethics or are all moral judgements
“subjective”? Throughout the course students will be
encouraged to engage in a review of their own
assumptions regarding the nature of knowledge and the
methods of knowing whereby it is acquired. The course
will conclude with an examination of the nature of “truth”.

The Vision of Art
(Humanities – Knowledge)
This course looks at the visual art as a form of
knowledge. Students will study a wide variety of artwork
and will place each piece in its cultural and historical
context. A variety of artwork and topics, for example
gender and beauty, war and destruction, culture and
religion, social change and consumerism will be
examined in order to highlight how culture, time, place
and social context can affect the interpretation and
representation of ideas. Students will think critically
about what the artists and their societies ‘knew’ to be
true and compare this with their own knowledge base
and value system.

Science and how such knowing has revolutionized the
way in which we see the world and ourselves. In our
analysis we also explore the possible limits to such
knowledge, for example, the limits to self-understanding.
We also examine knowing in History and compare it with
knowing in Science. Is the process of knowing the same
or different? And how do we come to know about
History? We shall see how our way of viewing historical
events influences our lives.

Knowledge, Science, and Philosophy
(Humanities – Knowledge)
All humans seek to understand the world and their own
individual existence. It has long been believed that
philosophy could offer us knowledge in such matters,
knowledge of the "highest kind" known as wisdom. Does
philosophy truly offer knowledge? If so, what kind of
knowledge would wisdom be? How can we achieve it?
This course will attempt to answer these questions by
considering the nature of knowledge itself and by
examining the origin, historical development, and
methods of Science, and by comparing and contrasting
scientific knowledge with philosophy in order to
determine whether indeed there is such a thing as
"philosophical knowledge".

Education and Social Change
(Humanities – Knowledge)
As a student you have probably asked yourself if the
knowledge you are pursuing is worthwhile. What kinds of
knowledge are valued by our society and how is it reflected
in education systems? How does schooling take into
account differences in how people learn? This course will
look at various educational approaches, or ways of
organizing knowledge, in relation to social values. We will
start with a historical overview of key educational thinkers
and movements, including the emergence of mass
education in the 19 th century. We will then study critiques of
traditional schooling as well as alternative movements, such

Knowledge and Conspiracy Theories
(Humanities - Knowledge)
‘To conspire’ is ‘to plot or plan secretly with others’,
usually with illegal or evil intent and often within the
structure of real or alleged ‘secret societies’. Accounts of,
and public fascination with conspiracy theories and
secret societies appeal variously to the deluded, the
disenchanted and the disenfranchised. They also attract
the powerful establishment. This course will explore the
relationship between knowledge, power and control.
Students will apply theories of knowledge and principles
of critical thinking to both historical and contemporary
conspiracy theories.

The Humanist Tradition
(Humanities – Worldviews)
Humanism envisions human beings as living works of art
whereby each person is their own, and humankind’s,
artisan. We are our own artisans because each of us
possesses the tools, such as thought and creativity, and
consequently the responsibility to become as fully
“human” as possible. Throughout history the label
“humanism” has been attached to a variety of worldviews.
In this course students will gain insight into the vast
humanist tradition from Renaissance to modernity by
examining, comparing and contrasting a variety of
worldviews such as spiritual humanism, secular humanism
and existential humanism, to name a few.

requires understanding of a particular philosophy. Students
will explore the question of what constitutes a worldview
and the philosophy of green living as an example of this.
They will gain some insight into the origins of modern
ecological thinking and the significant ways this may differ
from or clash with other worldviews.

Democracy and Cultural Diversity
(Humanities – Worldviews)
Through many centuries, governments often abetted by an
established religion, treated their people as if they were
homogeneous, and did not hesitate to enforce certain
values, customs and beliefs. Once the principles of
democracy have been truly embraced, such an attitude can
hardly be maintained. Any true democracy must come to
terms with such concepts as multiculturalism and pluralism.
In this course students will explore the question of what
constitutes a worldview, and they will consider the extent to
which different worldviews may be compatible within a
democratic society. Attention will also be given to the
relationship between different societies with differing
predominant worldviews.

compared with the non-industrial majority of the world:
hunter-gatherers, tribal herders, gardeners and peasant
farmers. Emphasis is placed on the variety of tools,
techniques we use to get food, shelter, clothing, etc.
from diverse natural environments; how we structure
work, trade and use of resources into very different
economies; how we structure our social relations and
educate our children within very different forms of
family, kinship and marriage; the variety of ways in
which we communicate through our languages and arts;
the various means by which we determine our leaders,
maintain law and order and make war; and finally, the
diverse magical, religious and scientific attempts we
make at explaining our lives. The course concludes by
examining the problems of cross-cultural
communication, contact, change, cooperation and
development.

behaviours, such as those related to health and health
services. The family can also be considered as the mirror
of social inequalities and social change, as well as the
stronghold of ethnic, cultural and community values.
Ultimately, all these dimensions have an impact on the
nurse/patient relationship and on nursing practice in
general. This course will provide future nurses with
