IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS<br />
Support Services<br />
What is success At <strong>Champlain</strong>, it’s more than passing<br />
y<strong>our</strong> c<strong>our</strong>ses; it’s being able <strong>to</strong> make connections<br />
between what you are taught in one c<strong>our</strong>se with<br />
learning experiences in other c<strong>our</strong>ses and in life.<br />
Teachers and staff at <strong>Champlain</strong> will help you achieve<br />
this by:<br />
• providing you with academic preparation for<br />
university entrance and technical training for<br />
employment<br />
• giving you opportunities <strong>to</strong> pursue personal, social,<br />
cultural and career interests<br />
• continuously finding new ways <strong>to</strong> support you in y<strong>our</strong><br />
efforts <strong>to</strong> succeed<br />
• preparing you for lifelong learning<br />
Student success has always been a priority at<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong>. A plan of action was developed that<br />
<strong>to</strong>uches on a wide range of issues that might affect<br />
you during y<strong>our</strong> years in college, in particular y<strong>our</strong><br />
experience as a first year student.<br />

Many students want and need additional support<br />

Our student support services focus on many different<br />
general abilities. These services are cus<strong>to</strong>mized <strong>to</strong><br />
provide specific skills such as developing a better<br />
understanding of a math problem or chemistry<br />
experiment discussed in class. Our support services<br />
begin even before you register for classes and continue<br />
right up until graduation when you are making those<br />
all-important university and career decisions.<br />

The IB Learner Profile<br />
IB learners strive <strong>to</strong> be:<br />
INQUIRERS: They develop their<br />
natural curiosity. They acquire<br />
the skills necessary <strong>to</strong> conduct<br />
inquiry and research and show<br />
independence in learning. They<br />
actively enjoy learning and this<br />
love of learning will be sustained<br />
throughout their lives.<br />
KNOWLEDGEABLE: They explore<br />
concepts, ideas and issues that<br />
have local and global significance.<br />
In so doing, they acquire indepth<br />
knowledge and develop<br />
understanding across a broad and<br />
balanced range of disciplines.<br />
THINKERS: They exercise initiative<br />
in applying thinking skills critically<br />
and creatively <strong>to</strong> recognize and<br />
approach complex problems, and<br />
make reasoned, ethical decisions.<br />

“Through IB, I realized that projects need not remain<br />
projects, but can be transformed in<strong>to</strong> concrete<br />
accomplishments. I learned <strong>to</strong> take the lead, start<br />
organizations, take action, and work in a team <strong>to</strong> reach<br />
a common objective. IB gave me confidence in myself<br />
and my thoughts. I learned <strong>to</strong> be critical and question my<br />
surrounding world, but also <strong>to</strong> be passionate about learning<br />
and continually live in awe in face of human knowledge.<br />
Above all, solidarity, kindness, and friendship are words I<br />
will always associate with my IB experience. The convivial<br />
environment and family-like atmosphere make it nearly<br />
impossible <strong>to</strong> be otherwise.”<br />

Health SCIENCE or<br />
Pure & ApplieD SCIENCE<br />
The IB program offers two distinct<br />
streams of scientific study, Health<br />
Science and Pure & Applied Science.<br />
Each stream gives students a solid<br />
foundation in the sciences, but the<br />
choice between them allows for<br />
specialization for future studies. As<br />
the names suggest, students wishing<br />
<strong>to</strong> pursue further study in health<br />
fields should enroll in Health Sciences,<br />
whereas those interested in applied<br />
sciences would most benefit from<br />
studying in the Pure and Applied<br />
stream.<br />
Second Language<br />
Requirements<br />
All IB students are required <strong>to</strong> follow<br />
a second language curriculum. The<br />
two language options at <strong>Champlain</strong><br />
are French and Spanish. In most cases,<br />
students are required <strong>to</strong> take French<br />
as a second language. However, if<br />
students demonstrate a sufficiently<br />
high level of ability in French as a<br />
mother<strong>to</strong>ngue, they will be offered the<br />
possibility of taking beginners Spanish<br />
instead of French. Please note that<br />
the Spanish option is not available <strong>to</strong><br />
students who have taken Spanish in<br />
high school.<br />

“I fondly remember my two years<br />
in the International Baccalaureate<br />
program at <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> and still<br />
miss the open, inquisitive intellectual<br />
atmosphere that characterized <strong>our</strong><br />
group. Being part of such a group of<br />
dynamic, inspiring, and highly motivated<br />
individuals profoundly influenced my<br />
way of thinking about the world and<br />
about myself. The program provided an<br />
excellent preparation for my university<br />
studies and helped me become a truly<br />
well-rounded individual and a deep<br />
thinker. Coming from a French-speaking<br />
background, I greatly appreciated the<br />
continuous support I received from<br />
both my instruc<strong>to</strong>rs and my classmates,<br />
which made my transition <strong>to</strong> an Englishspeaking<br />
environment much easier than<br />
I expected. In a nutshell, the challenging<br />
IB program taught me <strong>to</strong> think, <strong>to</strong> write<br />
and <strong>to</strong> work; it also gave me many<br />
lifelong friends.”<br />

which is used for special projects.<br />
The labs are equipped with the<br />
latest in computerized <strong>to</strong>ols for<br />
data collection and analysis that<br />
will enhance y<strong>our</strong> experimental<br />
skills. Each lab workstation is<br />
equipped with a computer as well<br />
as sophisticated sensors and dataacquisition<br />

<strong>to</strong> immediately see the outcome of<br />
y<strong>our</strong> work.<br />
The Program<br />
The two-year pre-university Science<br />
Program prepares you for university<br />
admission <strong>to</strong> Science Programs.<br />
At <strong>Champlain</strong>, we have found that the<br />
best way for students <strong>to</strong> succeed is by<br />
making them part of the c<strong>our</strong>ses they<br />
take and giving them the opportunity<br />
<strong>to</strong> study scientific problems the way<br />
professional scientists do. In Biology,<br />
this means that you spend less time<br />
listening <strong>to</strong> lectures and more time<br />
participating in group activities and<br />
studying relevant cases. In Chemistry,<br />
you have the opportunity <strong>to</strong> put in<strong>to</strong><br />
practice what you learn thanks <strong>to</strong> a<br />
major lab component in each c<strong>our</strong>se.<br />
In Physics, option c<strong>our</strong>ses that are<br />
directly relevant <strong>to</strong> trends in science<br />
and engineering are added <strong>to</strong> the<br />
curriculum.<br />
Science option (Health or<br />
Pure & Applied)<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> offers two distinct<br />
streams of scientific study, Health<br />
Science and Pure & Applied Science.<br />
Each stream gives students a solid<br />
foundation in Biology, Chemistry,<br />
Mathematics, and Physics. The<br />
Health Science option includes<br />
additional instruction in Biology<br />
and Chemistry <strong>to</strong> better prepare<br />
graduates for university study in<br />
programs such as medicine and<br />
health science research. Those<br />
enrolled in Pure & Applied have more<br />
flexibility in their studies and are able<br />
<strong>to</strong> choose from amongst a selection<br />
of additional science credits <strong>to</strong><br />
better suit their academic ambitions.<br />
Facilities<br />
All of <strong>our</strong> labs were recently<br />
renovated <strong>to</strong> ensure above standard<br />
c<strong>our</strong>se delivery.<br />
The Chemistry Department has f<strong>our</strong><br />
fully equipped labs. The labs are<br />
equipped with lap<strong>to</strong>p computers<br />
and the latest data acquisition <strong>to</strong>ols.<br />
Students can see the relationship<br />
between the equipment and<br />
the results in real time. Other<br />
equipment include: an A<strong>to</strong>mic<br />
Absorption Spectropho<strong>to</strong>meter, a<br />
Gas Chroma<strong>to</strong>graph, an Infrared<br />
Spectropho<strong>to</strong>meter, and nine<br />
Electronic Analytical Balances.<br />
The Physics Department has f<strong>our</strong><br />
fully equipped labs, three of which<br />
are used by students <strong>to</strong> perform<br />
standard experiments and one<br />
In the Biology Department’s two<br />
fully equipped labs, students<br />
pursue open-ended inquiries of<br />
their own design. While some<br />
students make high quality digital<br />
recordings of the behavior of pond<br />
life under a microscope, others<br />
use computers <strong>to</strong> delve in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
mysteries of protein structure<br />
using research quality molecular<br />
imaging programs. Sophisticated<br />
computer software simulates<br />
biological systems and processes<br />
otherwise difficult or impossible <strong>to</strong><br />
study. Teachers and students draw<br />
upon a comprehensive collection of<br />
specimens, video clips and models<br />
<strong>to</strong> augment their labs and lectures.<br />

“<strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> provides a nice<br />
bridge between high school and<br />
university thanks <strong>to</strong> many friendly,<br />
approachable teachers who are<br />
eager <strong>to</strong> help and support students<br />
throughout their studies. The smaller<br />
campus also promotes more studentteacher<br />
and peer interactions. As a<br />
result, students generally feel less<br />
intimidated and can really open<br />
themselves <strong>to</strong> the opportunities<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> offers. I feel the Health<br />
Science program provides a nice<br />
scientific background that is easy <strong>to</strong><br />
draw from and build on in later studies.<br />
Many introduc<strong>to</strong>ry classes at McGill<br />
University present the basics provided<br />
<strong>to</strong> science students at <strong>Champlain</strong><br />
before delving deeper in<strong>to</strong> the subject<br />
at hand and often these classes will<br />
<strong>to</strong>uch on interdisciplinary concepts,<br />
theories and ideologies formerly seen.<br />
It is particularly appreciable that<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> offers science electives<br />
permitting students <strong>to</strong> personalize<br />
and shape their education <strong>to</strong> fit the<br />
disciplines they plan <strong>to</strong> continue their<br />
studies in. As a student with a passion<br />
for biology, I enjoyed the availability<br />
of the Biology 3 class as it provided<br />
novel hands-on experience in ana<strong>to</strong>my<br />
via several dissections. Today, the<br />
dissection experience gained has been<br />
a rare skill which has given me the<br />
upper hand as an applicant for several<br />
labora<strong>to</strong>ry volunteer positions, a must<br />
for students aiming for post-graduate<br />
studies.”<br />

EDUCATION OPTION / SOCIAL SCIENCE PROGRAM (300.A0)<br />
Education Option<br />
at <strong>Champlain</strong><br />
The Education Option is designed for<br />
anyone considering a career in teaching<br />
or other fields related <strong>to</strong> education.<br />
The aim of this option is <strong>to</strong> give you a<br />
firm grounding in several social science<br />
disciplines relevant <strong>to</strong> education,<br />
specifically anthropology, psychology<br />
and sociology.<br />
The Education Option will offer you<br />
many different ways of looking at<br />
education. It will give you a behind<br />
the scenes look at schools, teaching<br />
and related current concerns. You<br />
will examine education broadly <strong>to</strong><br />
see how it fits with the rest of society<br />
and its connection with the lab<strong>our</strong><br />
force. You will look at schools from<br />
the perspective of the classroom and<br />
student-teacher interaction. You will<br />
gain an understanding of students’<br />
psychological development. You will<br />
study various social problems such as<br />
racism and sexism <strong>to</strong> see how they have<br />
an impact on students, schools and the<br />
society and what solutions are feasible.<br />
The Education Option will give you<br />
a greater awareness of a place and<br />
process that you have been engaged<br />
in for, at this point, most of y<strong>our</strong> life.<br />
This social science foundation will also<br />
give you a formidable background<br />
from which <strong>to</strong> pursue y<strong>our</strong> teaching<br />
training c<strong>our</strong>ses at university. You’ll get<br />
a pre<strong>view</strong> of what learning <strong>to</strong> become a<br />
teacher may entail, which may also help<br />
you solidify or modify y<strong>our</strong> goals.<br />
While the Education Option focuses<br />
on schooling, it also provides an<br />
excellent preparation for any Arts<br />
program at university. The social science<br />
perspectives and analytical and writing<br />
skills you acquire will be profitable<br />
whatever path you choose.<br />

“The main reason I applied <strong>to</strong> <strong>Champlain</strong><br />
was due <strong>to</strong> the excellent re<strong>view</strong>s that I had<br />
heard from family and friends who were<br />
former students at the college. They <strong>to</strong>ld me<br />
about the great teaching staff, the helpful<br />
services offered <strong>to</strong> students, and the many<br />
different teams, clubs and associations that<br />
allowed people <strong>to</strong> get involved in their school.<br />
The type of learning environment that my<br />
friends and family described seemed fun and<br />
exciting. Once I started my studies, I was<br />
not disappointed in any way! <strong>Champlain</strong> has<br />
helped me meet my academic and personal<br />
goals. The teachers are extremely dedicated<br />
in helping students in any way necessary<br />
<strong>to</strong> help us succeed. One of the remarkable<br />
aspects about <strong>Champlain</strong> is its highly diverse<br />
student body. I met a wide range of new<br />
people and made friends that I know will stick<br />
with me long after graduation. Additionally, by<br />
meeting people from different backgrounds,<br />
I was able <strong>to</strong> expand my knowledge about<br />
different cultures, allowing me <strong>to</strong> establish a<br />
better understanding of the world around me.<br />
To future students: <strong>Champlain</strong> is an excellent<br />
school that will allow you <strong>to</strong> learn and grow<br />
in so many ways both academically and<br />
personally! The college offers a wide variety<br />
of activities <strong>to</strong> get involved such as, team<br />
sports, clubs, and the <strong>Champlain</strong> Student<br />
Association (CSA) which aids in giving a<br />
voice <strong>to</strong> each and every student throughout<br />
the school. Additionally, <strong>Champlain</strong>’s staff<br />
consists of friendly and helpful people who<br />
are all dedicated <strong>to</strong> making you succeed not<br />
only at <strong>Champlain</strong> but in the rest of y<strong>our</strong> lives.<br />
They provide students with invaluable <strong>to</strong>ols <strong>to</strong><br />
help us realize <strong>our</strong> full potential and ultimately<br />
become the people that we want <strong>to</strong> be!”<br />

“I chose <strong>to</strong> attend <strong>Champlain</strong> because most<br />
of my friends <strong>to</strong>ld me that they really enjoyed<br />
their years there and that <strong>Champlain</strong> had a<br />
very social environment which made it easy <strong>to</strong><br />
make friends. Teachers are available in class<br />
and outside of class when I need their help.<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> also has a Writing Center which<br />
is really helpful. Having student <strong>to</strong> student<br />
interaction was very useful <strong>to</strong> me because it<br />
was less intimidating and it was also a way<br />
for me <strong>to</strong> make friends. <strong>Champlain</strong> has a great<br />
social environment. There are many different<br />
activities every week, which enables students<br />
<strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong> know each other and strengthen their<br />

““The program’s intimate class sizes helped me learn a lot. In the television<br />
production class I was always in front of the camera, and my love for acting<br />
grew from there! I also learned the technical side of film and television<br />
which helped me when I faced the real situation on set.””<br />

“When in high school, I found myself faced<br />
with the decision of where I wanted my<br />
future <strong>to</strong> go. It was not long before I figured<br />
out that I wanted <strong>to</strong> go in<strong>to</strong> Liberal Arts and<br />
that <strong>Champlain</strong> was one of the best schools.<br />
It only made sense <strong>to</strong> apply. While in cegep,<br />
I had two goals: become a better writer<br />
and take every opportunity <strong>to</strong> participate in<br />
theatre. In the very first semester, I became<br />
a better writer and the clubs let me enjoy<br />
theatre. The best aspect of <strong>Champlain</strong> is the<br />
number of people willing <strong>to</strong> help. Whether it is<br />
a teacher, a librarian, a tu<strong>to</strong>r or a friend, there<br />
is always someone ready <strong>to</strong> show you how <strong>to</strong><br />
achieve y<strong>our</strong> goals. Cegep can be a difficult<br />
time but that extra little bit of support is what<br />
makes all the difference.”<br />

wonderful adventure! I remember them<br />

1. Est-il difficile de passer du français à<br />
l’anglais comme langue d’études <br />
Oui, non et peut-être. Chaque étudiant aura un niveau<br />
de difficulté différent des autres étudiants. Le nombre<br />
d’heures consacré aux études influencera le résultat<br />
final. Comme de nombreux étudiants provenant<br />
d’écoles francophones, tu peux réussir <strong>to</strong>n c<strong>our</strong>s<br />
collégial avec de très bonnes notes. Le niveau de<br />
difficulté dépend de la connaissance de l’anglais que<br />
tu as avant de commencer tes études collégiales. En<br />
général, les étudiants qui ont une bonne moyenne<br />
générale au secondaire (80% et plus) seront en<br />
mesure de relever le défi. Ces étudiants ont déjà en<br />
place des techniques p<strong>our</strong> leur aider à réussir.<br />
Si tu veux changer de langue d’études, tu dois bien<br />
réfléchir à :<br />
• ta volonté de réussir<br />
• ta volonté de surmonter ta timidité et de parler en<br />
anglais en classe et en dehors des c<strong>our</strong>s avec des<br />
étudiants anglophones<br />
Notre analyse de la clientèle révèle que, par le<br />
passé, les chance de succès sont meilleures p<strong>our</strong> les<br />
étudiants provenant d’écoles francophones qui avaient<br />
obtenu une note minimum de 75% dans leur c<strong>our</strong>s<br />
’enrichis’ d’anglais langue seconde ou 80% minimum<br />

nombre de c<strong>our</strong>s à la première session, et même à la<br />

perfectionner tes compétences en anglais. Il se peut<br />
que tu aies à suivre des c<strong>our</strong>s d’été afin d’obtenir <strong>to</strong>n<br />

leur nombre de c<strong>our</strong>s car le programme doit être<br />
complété tel que prévu. Par exemple, le programme<br />
du Baccalauréat International doit être suivi tel quel<br />
car les étudiants devront se préparer p<strong>our</strong> écrire des<br />
examens externes provenant de la Genève. À partir du<br />
premier trimestre, nos conseillers pédagogiques sont<br />
disponibles p<strong>our</strong> discuter des préalables universitaires<br />
et de la cote de rendement.<br />

Familiarise-<strong>to</strong>i avec les sons et la prononciation<br />
en regardant la télévision et en écoutant la radio<br />
régulièrement en anglais (trois à cinq fois par<br />
semaine), et en regardant des films en anglais.<br />
Écoute des chansons en anglais quand tu portes<br />
MP3. Améliore ta capacité à lire et à écrire l’anglais en<br />
lisant, par exemple, des j<strong>our</strong>naux, des revues et des<br />
livres en anglais. Rédige <strong>to</strong>n j<strong>our</strong>nal intime en anglais.<br />
Écris à tes ami(e)s en anglais. Effectue ta recherche<br />
sur l’Internet en anglais. Si tu le peux, voyage dans<br />
les autres provinces ou aux États-Unis. Fais-<strong>to</strong>i des<br />
amis anglophones et parle anglais avec eux. C’est en<br />
pratiquant que tu y arriveras. Écoute un livre audio<br />

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION<br />
Housing<br />
Our Student Services Department<br />
maintains a Housing Registry that will<br />
assist you in locating apartments and<br />
rooms in the vicinity of the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The facilities in the Registry are not<br />
inspected by Student Services nor the<br />
<strong>College</strong>. Be sure <strong>to</strong> read all the “hints” in<br />
this section before you go apartment or<br />
room hunting. The lease that you sign<br />
or the arrangement that you undertake<br />
in the case of a private home is y<strong>our</strong><br />
responsibility. Y<strong>our</strong> comments on the<br />
facilities listed in the Housing Registry are<br />
always welcome.<br />
Types of accommodation<br />
Private Homes<br />
• Room with kitchen privileges<br />
This type of accommodation has proven<br />
<strong>to</strong> be popular and is most affordable.<br />
The student prepares his or her meals in<br />
the home at a lower cost than restaurant<br />
or cafeteria dining.<br />
• Room with meals provided<br />
Depending on the arrangements<br />
made with the family, this type of<br />
accommodation allows for two or three<br />
meals a day included in the rent. This can<br />
be quite a handy situation provided that<br />
it is convenient for you <strong>to</strong> be home for all<br />
of y<strong>our</strong> meals. If not, perhaps you should<br />
stick <strong>to</strong> a room with kitchen privileges.<br />
Apartments<br />
Most apartments are not furnished, but<br />
they will often have a refrigera<strong>to</strong>r and<br />
s<strong>to</strong>ve. However, utility costs (e.g. heat and<br />
electricity, etc.) may or may not be included<br />
in the rent. Students should be very cautious<br />
before signing any lease and inquire about<br />
any «extras» that may cost more. In the<br />
newspaper, an apartment will be described<br />
as 1-1/2, 2-1/2 etc. The “:1/2” usually refers<br />
<strong>to</strong> the bathroom. For example, a 2-1/2<br />
room apartment would include a bedroom,<br />
living room with a small kitchenette, and<br />
bathroom. A 3-1/2 would be the same, but<br />
would have a separate room for the kitchen.<br />
The rent will vary according <strong>to</strong> the size of<br />
the apartment, the building, the area it is<br />
located in and the facilities offered.<br />
Looking for a place <strong>to</strong> stay <br />
Keep the following in mind:<br />
• Owners of a private home are reluctant<br />
<strong>to</strong> rent early because a student may not<br />
pass his or her final high school exams,<br />
may not be accepted by the college,<br />
may change his or her mind, etc. August<br />
is usually the best month <strong>to</strong> look for a<br />
place <strong>to</strong> stay because, by then, most of<br />
the above facts are known.<br />
• A neat appearance helps <strong>to</strong> make a<br />
good impression.<br />
• Use the Student Services Housing<br />
Registry, but remember that there are<br />
other res<strong>our</strong>ces available.<br />
• Speak <strong>to</strong> other students. Remember,<br />
word of mouth can get you a great<br />
apartment or room.<br />
• Check the classified ads in the Montreal<br />
and South Shore newspapers. Le<br />
C<strong>our</strong>rier du Sud is a good s<strong>our</strong>ce<br />
of information. You can scan the<br />
classifieds on their Internet site at www.<br />
c<strong>our</strong>rierdusud.com<br />
• Check the bulletin boards in the local<br />
shopping centres, grocery s<strong>to</strong>res, etc.<br />
• Sharing an apartment with another<br />
student can be cheaper than renting on<br />
y<strong>our</strong> own. If you are interested in finding<br />
a roommate, s<strong>to</strong>p by Student Services<br />
and place an advertisement in the<br />
Housing Registry.<br />
Found a place <strong>to</strong> stay <br />
Ask y<strong>our</strong>self the following:<br />
• Do y<strong>our</strong> appliances work Nothing can<br />
be as frustrating as a s<strong>to</strong>ve that does not<br />
work, clogged drains, leaky faucets, etc.<br />
• Are the rooms well heated How<br />
• How clean is the building This will give<br />
you a clue as <strong>to</strong> the type of service that<br />
you will receive.<br />
• Is y<strong>our</strong> room soundproof Remember,<br />
living near an arcade or heavy traffic<br />
can be irritating and can cut in<strong>to</strong> sleep<br />
and study time.<br />
• Is there enough s<strong>to</strong>rage space and<br />
closet space For example, where will<br />
you put y<strong>our</strong> bike for the winter<br />
• If it is unfurnished, how big will y<strong>our</strong><br />
apartment be after you move in y<strong>our</strong><br />
furniture<br />
• How many electrical outlets are there<br />
Are they located in convenient places<br />
• Are there laundry facilities in the<br />
building If not, how far away is the<br />
nearest laundromat<br />
• How far away are you from shopping<br />
centres, grocery s<strong>to</strong>res, banks or a<br />
credit union<br />
• What is the route <strong>to</strong> school Will you<br />
have <strong>to</strong> pay two or more fares <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong><br />
y<strong>our</strong> destination<br />
• Is there access <strong>to</strong> a telephone<br />
• Are pets allowed<br />
• If you own a car, are there proper par king<br />
facilities Do you have <strong>to</strong> pay extra<br />
• Are blankets and linen provided with<br />
y<strong>our</strong> room rental<br />
• Is there a secure lock leading in<strong>to</strong> y<strong>our</strong><br />
apartment or room<br />
• If you rent a room, what are the<br />
expectations about having friends visit,<br />
the sound level of y<strong>our</strong> music, etc.<br />
Incidentals<br />
Do you need pots and pans, dishes, <strong>to</strong>wels,<br />
blankets, sheets or small appli ances... All<br />
this can be costly if it’s not provided or if<br />
you do not bring y<strong>our</strong> own.<br />
Important note<br />
Before signing a lease, you should<br />
consider important information which is<br />
available from Student Services at (450)<br />
672-7360, extension 355. If you encounter<br />

a separate entrance, you are eligible for<br />
assistance from the Rental Board. Student<br />
Services is also available <strong>to</strong> give you a<br />

housing information is general and subject<br />
<strong>to</strong> change. Statements concerning rights<br />
obligations, deadlines, etc. should be<br />
carefully re<strong>view</strong>ed with the Rental Board<br />
before taking any action.<br />
Transportation<br />

way <strong>to</strong> travel. See Student Services about<br />
bus routes and fares and whether you are<br />
eligible for a student pass. Information on<br />
the local South Shore bus routes, fares, etc.<br />
is available on the Réseau de transport de<br />
