Support Services 

What is success At Champlain, it’s more than passing 

your courses; it’s being able to make connections 

between what you are taught in one course with 

learning experiences in other courses and in life. 

Teachers and staff at Champlain will help you achieve 

this by: 

• providing you with academic preparation for 

university entrance and technical training for 

employment 

• giving you opportunities to pursue personal, social, 

cultural and career interests 

• continuously finding new ways to support you in your 

efforts to succeed 

• preparing you for lifelong learning 

Student success has always been a priority at 

Champlain. A plan of action was developed that 

touches on a wide range of issues that might affect 

you during your years in college, in particular your 

experience as a first year student. 

Some of the ideas included in the plan are: 

• use of the web and the Welcome Week to provide 

students with important information on what is 

expected in college 

• teacher/student and student/student mentoring 

programs 

• to encourage and facilitate the use of academic 

advising, career planning, counselling, and tutorial 

services

meetings with first-year students

services to do just that.

general abilities. These services are customized to 

provide specific skills such as developing a better

All students must successfully complete two French 

courses. The first is a general course common to all 

programs. The second is tied to the student’s field 

of study. The table below shows the two courses in 

sequence according to each program and each level. 

Humanities 

Students must take three courses to complete their 

Humanities requirements. One course will be taken 

from each of the three categories described below. 

The order of courses is as follows: 

1st Course – 345-101: Knowledge: 

Organization and Utilization 

2nd Course – 345-102: Worldviews 

3rd Course – 345-BMX: Humanities 

Block B - Specific Program 

Knowledge: Organization and Utilization – 345-101 

Courses in this group examine ways of knowing, ways 

of assessing knowledge and truth and the difference 

between knowledge and belief. Students will begin 

to understand how knowledge can be organized, 

analyzed and related to historical context. Students will 

consider if knowledge is used to restrict or contribute 

to the progress of a society. 

Worldviews – 345-102 

A worldview touches every aspect of a person’s life. 

A worldview may be common to an entire civilization 

or historical period, or specific to a particular social 

group or philosophical outlook. Courses in this group 

examine how ideas, values and experiences inherent 

in a worldview influence an individual’s understanding 

of the world. Students will analyze and compare the 

central ideas of two or more worldviews with the goal 

of understanding how worldviews both reflect and 

shape societies. 

Humanities Block-B – Special Program – 345-BMX 

345-BMA - Ethical Issues in the Sciences 

345-BMB - Ethical Issues in the Social Sciences 

345-BMC - Ethical Issues in the Professional Programs 

345-BMD - Ethical Issues for Liberal Arts 

345-BME - Justice, Knowledge and the Ideal State 

345-BMF - Ethical Issues in Creative Arts and Modern 

Languages 

345-BMN - Ethical Issues in Nursing 

Courses in this group require students to examine 

the connection between ethical choices and social 

responsibility. A number of theories and principles 

of ethical decision-making are introduced. Students 

are required to consider opposing sides of issues by 

applying ethical theories. In particular, students will 

focus on issues related to their program of study. 



Physical Activity and Health: 109-101-MQ 

The 101 course involves identifying the role that certain 

lifestyle behaviours, such as regular physical activity, 

good nutrition and stress management, play in the 

pursuit of optimal health and well-being. Students will 

examine the health and wellness effects derived from 

participation in regular physical activity and will explore 

the effects of their current lifestyle habits. Students will 

identify appropriate activity options based on their own 

interests, needs and abilities, and explore the factors 

influencing their motivation for maintaining or increasing 

regular physical activity. Please Note: Students must 

purchase a manual for the 101 level course. 

Physical Activity and Effectiveness: 109-102-MQ 

The 102 course is designed to provide each student 

with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively 

learn the skills and be a successful participant in the 

chosen activity. Each student will be expected to 

analyze the factors that contribute to the acquisition of 

skills. Using a problem-solving approach, the student 

will conduct a personal analysis of her/his knowledge 

and abilities, establish personal goals, and plan 

strategies leading to the improvement of those skills. 

Physical Education 

All students are required to take three courses in 

Physical Education to fulfill the requirements for the 

Diploma of College Studies. Because of the many 

interests, abilities and motivations which affect a 

student's choice of physical activities, Champlain Saint- 

Lambert endeavours to offer a wide range of courses. 

Every student can be sure of finding an activity that is 

interesting, enjoyable and healthful. It is the policy of 

the College to promote not only competitive sports, 

but also to encourage a taste and an aptitude for 

recreational pursuits which may be enjoyed throughout 

life. Students must complete the following courses: 

Physical Eduction 101 and 102 can be completed in 

any order. Once both completed, students then take 

Physical Education 103. 

Physical Activity and Autonomy: 109-103-MQ 

The 103 course addresses the competency of designing 

and managing a personal activity program that 

incorporates healthy lifestyle choices. This course 

contributes to the development of responsible 

behaviours leading to the promotion and improvement 

of health. The learning situation will require the 

application of fundamental knowledge and experiences 

acquired in the 101 and 102 Physical Education courses. 

The student will explore a variety of health-related 

activities and be responsible for choosing, performing 

and scheduling activities appropriate to meet personal 

needs, interests and abilities. 

Complementary Courses 

Students take two Complementary courses from 

designated areas of study. The courses are selected from 

among the Five Major Domains or General Areas of Study. 

Domain “1”: Social Sciences 

All aspects of human behaviour can be examined from 

the various Social Sciences domain courses. Courses 

offer a unique and specialized way of understanding 

the human experience and allow students to explore 

the social world from a scientific perspective.

2013-2014


Domain”2”: Science and Technology 

Since the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, 

science and technology have shaped the world we live in, 

substantially modified the world we live in, substantially 

modified our relationship to nature, reality and have 

redefined our most fundamental values. Courses in the 

Science and Technology domain provide a more informed 

understanding of the general nature of both science and 

technology, of their relationship and interdependence and 

of the great challenges that face them in the 21st century. 

Domain “3”: Modern Languages 

The courses in the Modern Languages domain permit 

students to learn the rudiments of a third language 

by focusing on the following basic skills: listening, 

understanding, speaking, reading and writing. After 

two courses in the new language, motivated students 

will be able to express themselves with relative ease 

at a café, restaurant, train station, supermarket and in 

conversation with friends. 

Domain “4”: Language of Mathematics and Computer 

Science 

The courses in the Language of Mathematics and 

Computer Science domain offer an understanding of 

the culture of mathematics and computers. Students 

learn the basic elements of important computer tools in 

computer software. 

Domain “5”: Art and Aesthetics 

Arts and Aesthetics courses lead students to respond 

to and appreciate diverse forms of artistic creation. 

Students explore various forms of artistic expression 

by examining, analyzing and evaluating art, as well as 

by hands-on experimentation and production using a 

variety of media. 

Domain “6”: Contemporary Issues 

To consider contemporary issues from a crossdisciplinary 

perspective.

“I fondly remember my two years 

in the International Baccalaureate 

program at Champlain College and still 

miss the open, inquisitive intellectual 

atmosphere that characterized our 

group. Being part of such a group of 

dynamic, inspiring, and highly motivated 

individuals profoundly influenced my 

way of thinking about the world and 

about myself. The program provided an 

excellent preparation for my university 

studies and helped me become a truly 

well-rounded individual and a deep 

thinker. Coming from a French-speaking 

background, I greatly appreciated the 

continuous support I received from 

both my instructors and my classmates, 

which made my transition to an Englishspeaking 

environment much easier than 

I expected. In a nutshell, the challenging 

IB program taught me to think, to write 

and to work; it also gave me many 

lifelong friends.”

to study scientific problems the way 

professional scientists do. In Biology, 

this means that you spend less time 

listening to lectures and more time 

participating in group activities and 

studying relevant cases. In Chemistry, 

you have the opportunity to put into 

practice what you learn thanks to a 

major lab component in each course. 

In Physics, option courses that are 

directly relevant to trends in science 

and engineering are added to the 

curriculum.

Students can see the relationship 

between the equipment and 

the results in real time. Other 

equipment include: an Atomic 

Absorption Spectrophotometer, a 

Gas Chromatograph, an Infrared 

Spectrophotometer, and nine 

Electronic Analytical Balances. 

The Physics Department has four 

fully equipped labs, three of which 

are used by students to perform 

standard experiments and one 

In the Biology Department’s two 

fully equipped labs, students 

pursue open-ended inquiries of 

their own design. While some 

students make high quality digital 

recordings of the behavior of pond 

life under a microscope, others 

use computers to delve into the 

mysteries of protein structure 

using research quality molecular 

imaging programs. Sophisticated 

computer software simulates 

biological systems and processes 

otherwise difficult or impossible to 

study. Teachers and students draw 

upon a comprehensive collection of 

specimens, video clips and models 

to augment their labs and lectures.

“Champlain College provides a nice 

bridge between high school and 

university thanks to many friendly, 

approachable teachers who are 

eager to help and support students 

throughout their studies. The smaller 

campus also promotes more studentteacher 

and peer interactions. As a 

result, students generally feel less 

intimidated and can really open 

themselves to the opportunities 

Champlain offers. I feel the Health 

Science program provides a nice 

scientific background that is easy to 

draw from and build on in later studies. 

Many introductory classes at McGill 

University present the basics provided 

to science students at Champlain 

before delving deeper into the subject 

at hand and often these classes will 

touch on interdisciplinary concepts, 

theories and ideologies formerly seen. 

It is particularly appreciable that 

Champlain offers science electives 

permitting students to personalize 

and shape their education to fit the 

disciplines they plan to continue their 

studies in. As a student with a passion 

for biology, I enjoyed the availability 

of the Biology 3 class as it provided 

novel hands-on experience in anatomy 

via several dissections. Today, the 

dissection experience gained has been 

a rare skill which has given me the 

upper hand as an applicant for several 

laboratory volunteer positions, a must 

for students aiming for post-graduate 

studies.”

Education 

EDUCATION OPTION / SOCIAL SCIENCE PROGRAM (300.A0) 

Education Option 


The Education Option is designed for 

anyone considering a career in teaching 

or other fields related to education. 

The aim of this option is to give you a 

firm grounding in several social science 

disciplines relevant to education, 

specifically anthropology, psychology 

and sociology. 

The Education Option will offer you 

many different ways of looking at 

education. It will give you a behind 

the scenes look at schools, teaching 

and related current concerns. You 

will examine education broadly to 

see how it fits with the rest of society 

and its connection with the labour 

force. You will look at schools from 

the perspective of the classroom and 

student-teacher interaction. You will 

gain an understanding of students’ 

psychological development. You will 

study various social problems such as 

racism and sexism to see how they have 

an impact on students, schools and the 

society and what solutions are feasible. 

The Education Option will give you 

a greater awareness of a place and 

process that you have been engaged 

in for, at this point, most of your life. 

This social science foundation will also 

give you a formidable background 

from which to pursue your teaching 

training courses at university. You’ll get 

a preview of what learning to become a 

teacher may entail, which may also help 

you solidify or modify your goals. 

While the Education Option focuses 

on schooling, it also provides an 

excellent preparation for any Arts 

program at university. The social science 

perspectives and analytical and writing 

skills you acquire will be profitable 

whatever path you choose. 

24 CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE SAINT-LAMBERT 















“The main reason I applied to Champlain 

was due to the excellent reviews that I had 

heard from family and friends who were 

former students at the college. They told me 

about the great teaching staff, the helpful 

services offered to students, and the many 

different teams, clubs and associations that 

allowed people to get involved in their school. 

The type of learning environment that my 

friends and family described seemed fun and 

exciting. Once I started my studies, I was 

not disappointed in any way! Champlain has 

helped me meet my academic and personal 

goals. The teachers are extremely dedicated 

in helping students in any way necessary 

to help us succeed. One of the remarkable 

aspects about Champlain is its highly diverse 

student body. I met a wide range of new 

people and made friends that I know will stick 

with me long after graduation. Additionally, by 

meeting people from different backgrounds, 

I was able to expand my knowledge about 

different cultures, allowing me to establish a 

better understanding of the world around me. 

To future students: Champlain is an excellent 

school that will allow you to learn and grow 

in so many ways both academically and 

personally! The college offers a wide variety 

of activities to get involved such as, team 

sports, clubs, and the Champlain Student 

Association (CSA) which aids in giving a 

voice to each and every student throughout 

the school. Additionally, Champlain’s staff 

consists of friendly and helpful people who 

are all dedicated to making you succeed not 

only at Champlain but in the rest of your lives. 

They provide students with invaluable tools to 

help us realize our full potential and ultimately 

become the people that we want to be!”

“I chose to attend Champlain because most 

of my friends told me that they really enjoyed 

their years there and that Champlain had a 

very social environment which made it easy to 

make friends. Teachers are available in class 

and outside of class when I need their help. 

Champlain also has a Writing Center which 

is really helpful. Having student to student 

interaction was very useful to me because it 

was less intimidating and it was also a way 

for me to make friends. Champlain has a great 

social environment. There are many different 

activities every week, which enables students 

to get to know each other and strengthen their 

social bonds. Champlain definitely prepared 

me for my future studies.”

Creative Arts 

CREATIVE ARTS OPTION / CREATIVE ARTS, LANGUAGE & LITERATURE PROGRAM (500.A1) 

• DIGITAL IMAGING / STUDIO ARTS PROFILE • FILM / VIDEO / COMMUNICATIONS PROFILE 

• PHOTOGRAPHY / DESIGN PROFILE 

THE PROGRAM 

Through its three distinct profiles 

– Digital Imaging and Studio Arts, 

Photography/Design, and Film/ 

Video/Communications – Creative 

Arts introduces students to a 

broad range of visual possibilities 

from traditional studio arts to 

contemporary digital media. Its 

aim is to help students find their 

passion, acquire the basic skills and 

self-discipline necessary to continue 

in the domains of art or media, and 

become more “visually literate,” an 

important quality in practically any 

field in today’s media saturated world. 

The blend of general education and 

specialization in the Creative Arts 

program ensures that students are 

prepared for university studies in 

a wide range of programs in and 

outside of the creative arts, as well as 

future career opportunities. 

In their first semester, students are 

enrolled in introductory courses from 

each of the profiles, along with the 

required general education courses. 

In the three semesters following, 

they specialize in the profile of their 

choice, deepening their knowledge 

and abilities, and producing a 

portfolio demonstrating the individual 

capabilities they have acquired during 

the four semesters. During their third 

and fourth semesters, they also have 

the opportunity to choose two option 

classes from the other profiles. 

FILM/VIDEO/ 

COMMUNICATIONS 

This profile concentrates on film 

and television as examples of the 

broader world of communications, 

considering their potential and power 

both as mass media and as a means 

of personal expression. In addition 

to building a strong foundation in 

the theory and history of media, you 

will have the opportunity in every 

semester to get involved in handson 

digital production, beginning 

with shooting and editing in your 

very first weeks in the program. The 

profile leads directly to media-related 

university programs in journalism, 

communications, film, television, and 

radio, event planning, public relations, 

and web design and gaming. 

PHOTO/DESIGN 

This profile allows you to develop 

skills in visual communication, 

through the use of traditional 

and digital photography, and the 

fundamentals of graphic design and 

layout. There is extensive handson 

production in all areas, and the 

chance to build a strong portfolio 

that will illustrate both traditional 

and contemporary approaches to 

photography, in black & white and 

colour. The profile is ideal if you 

are interested in advertising, art 

direction, art reproduction, graphic 

design, layout and photo editing, 

photography (creative, commercial, 

corporate, fashion, publicity, and 

sport), photo-journalism and editorial, 

scientific, and medical photography. 

DIGITAL IMAGING AND 

STUDIO ARTS 

The profile allows you to work 

with traditional art forms including 

drawing, painting, and sculpture, 

as well as with 2D and 3D digital 

software. You will acquire a 

command of colour, line, shading, 

composition, and other elements 

of an artist’s vocabulary, as well as 

the self-discipline to follow a visual 

creation from conception all the 

way to a polished final work. You 

will be encouraged to put together 

a strong portfolio which shows your 

strengths and is tailored to your own 

interests. The profile leads directly 

to university programs in studio arts 

(painting, sculpture, printmaking, 

etc.), art history, animation, gaming, 

multi-media, computer graphics, 

interior design, web design, costume 

and theatre design, advertising and 

illustration. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT 

• Small class sizes to foster intimate 

learning 

• A hands-on approach to learning 

starting right away 

• Help in preparing a professional 

portfolio 

• Development of the skills you will 

need to succeed at university.

“When in high school, I found myself faced 

with the decision of where I wanted my 

future to go. It was not long before I figured 

out that I wanted to go into Liberal Arts and 

that Champlain was one of the best schools. 

It only made sense to apply. While in cegep, 

I had two goals: become a better writer 

and take every opportunity to participate in 

theatre. In the very first semester, I became 

a better writer and the clubs let me enjoy 

theatre. The best aspect of Champlain is the 

number of people willing to help. Whether it is 

a teacher, a librarian, a tutor or a friend, there 

is always someone ready to show you how to 

achieve your goals. Cegep can be a difficult 

time but that extra little bit of support is what 

makes all the difference.”

“Sharing my passion with young adults 

who are studying to become nurses is a 

wonderful adventure! I remember them 

at the beginning of the school year, they 

were quiet, shy but… so eager to learn. In 

less than a year they already demonstrate 

commitment, willingness to offer excellent, 

and safe nursing care and, most important, 

high level of professionalism. The students’ 

enthusiasm is contagious. They are truly 

inspiring and I honestly think it is fantastic to 

work with them!”

mesure de relever le défi. Ces étudiants ont déjà en 

place des techniques pour leur aider à réussir. 

Si tu veux changer de langue d’études, tu dois bien 

réfléchir à : 

• ta volonté de réussir 

• ta volonté de surmonter ta timidité et de parler en 

anglais en classe et en dehors des cours avec des 

étudiants anglophones 

Notre analyse de la clientèle révèle que, par le 

passé, les chance de succès sont meilleures pour les 

étudiants provenant d’écoles francophones qui avaient 

obtenu une note minimum de 75% dans leur cours 

’enrichis’ d’anglais langue seconde ou 80% minimum 

dans leur cours ’régulier’ d’anglais langue seconde.

2. Combien faut -il de temps pour s’adapter 

La période d’adaptation varie, mais il est certain 

que la première session est la plus difficile. Il suffit 

d’un petit effort au tout début pour t’assurer un 

grand avenir. Si la difficulté d’adaptation t’inquiète 

tout particulièrement, tu peux songer à réduire le 

nombre de cours à la première session, et même à la 

deuxième, pendant que tu consacres plus de temps à 

perfectionner tes compétences en anglais. Il se peut 

que tu aies à suivre des cours d’été afin d’obtenir ton 

diplôme d’études collégiales en deux ou trois ans ou 

même t’inscrire à une session de plus. Il faut noter que, 

dans certains cas, les étudiants ne peuvent pas réduire 

leur nombre de cours car le programme doit être 

complété tel que prévu. Par exemple, le programme 

du Baccalauréat International doit être suivi tel quel 

car les étudiants devront se préparer pour écrire des 

examens externes provenant de la Genève. À partir du 

premier trimestre, nos conseillers pédagogiques sont 

disponibles pour discuter des préalables universitaires 

et de la cote de rendement. 

3. Que puis-je faire pour améliorer 

mes compétences en anglais avant de 

commencer mes cours au cégep Champlain 

Saint-Lambert 

Familiarise-toi avec les sons et la prononciation 

en regardant la télévision et en écoutant la radio 

régulièrement en anglais (trois à cinq fois par 

semaine), et en regardant des films en anglais. 

Écoute des chansons en anglais quand tu portes 

MP3. Améliore ta capacité à lire et à écrire l’anglais en 

lisant, par exemple, des journaux, des revues et des 

livres en anglais. Rédige ton journal intime en anglais. 

Écris à tes ami(e)s en anglais. Effectue ta recherche 

sur l’Internet en anglais. Si tu le peux, voyage dans 

les autres provinces ou aux États-Unis. Fais-toi des 

amis anglophones et parle anglais avec eux. C’est en 

pratiquant que tu y arriveras. Écoute un livre audio 

tout en le lisant. En lisant à voix haute, on remarque 

beaucoup plus les intonations.

4. Le Cégep Champlain Saint-Lambert 

offre-t-il un soutien aux étudiants dans 

ma situation 

Les ressources sont là : il n’en tient qu’à toi de t’en 

servir ! Les professeurs d’anglais sont disponibles 

en dehors des heures de cours pour discuter des 

différentes techniques utilisées pour la composition. 

L’expérience de ces professeurs t’aidera à surmonter 

les obstacles que tu éprouveras. C’est essential de 

garder un contact avec tes professeurs. Les étudiants 

qui ont besoin d’aide additionnelle peuvent participer 

à des séances de tutorat. Celles-ci sont dispensées 

par des pairs, au Centre d’apprentissage du cégep 

situé au troisième étage de la bibliothèque. Des 

outils et conseils utiles seront mis à ta disposition 

pour être capable de réussir au cégep. Une session 

d’information est aussi offerte au mois d’août pour les 

étudiants provenant d’écoles francophones. Le ’French 

Connection’ est composé d’étudiants francophones 

inscrits au cégep Champlain Saint-Lambert. Ces 

étudiants ont passé à travers les mêmes étapes que tu 

auras à franchir. Ils ont des conseils à t’offrir et peuvent 

servir comme point de repère au besoin. 

5. Les examens et les dissertations 

peuventils être rédigés en français 

Nous supposons que la raison principale qui t’amène 

à étudier en anglais est d’améliorer tes compétences 

dans cette langue. Aussi, tu devras rédiger une 

Épreuve ministérielle en anglais pour obtenir ton 

diplôme. C’est pour cela que le Cégep exige que tous 

les étudiants remettent leurs travaux en anglais.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

Housing 

Our Student Services Department 

maintains a Housing Registry that will 

assist you in locating apartments and 

rooms in the vicinity of the College. 

The facilities in the Registry are not 

inspected by Student Services nor the 

College. Be sure to read all the “hints” in 

this section before you go apartment or 

room hunting. The lease that you sign 

or the arrangement that you undertake 

in the case of a private home is your 

responsibility. Your comments on the 

facilities listed in the Housing Registry are 

always welcome. 

Types of accommodation 

Private Homes 

• Room with kitchen privileges 

This type of accommodation has proven 

to be popular and is most affordable. 

The student prepares his or her meals in 

the home at a lower cost than restaurant 

or cafeteria dining. 

• Room with meals provided 

Depending on the arrangements 

made with the family, this type of 

accommodation allows for two or three 

meals a day included in the rent. This can 

be quite a handy situation provided that 

it is convenient for you to be home for all 

of your meals. If not, perhaps you should 

stick to a room with kitchen privileges. 

Apartments 

Most apartments are not furnished, but 

they will often have a refrigerator and 

stove. However, utility costs (e.g. heat and 

electricity, etc.) may or may not be included 

in the rent. Students should be very cautious 

before signing any lease and inquire about 

any «extras» that may cost more. In the 

newspaper, an apartment will be described 

as 1-1/2, 2-1/2 etc. The “:1/2” usually refers 

to the bathroom. For example, a 2-1/2 

room apartment would include a bedroom, 

living room with a small kitchenette, and 

bathroom. A 3-1/2 would be the same, but 

would have a separate room for the kitchen. 

The rent will vary according to the size of 

the apartment, the building, the area it is 

located in and the facilities offered. 

Looking for a place to stay 

Keep the following in mind: 

• Owners of a private home are reluctant 

to rent early because a student may not 

pass his or her final high school exams, 

may not be accepted by the college, 

may change his or her mind, etc. August 

is usually the best month to look for a 

place to stay because, by then, most of 

the above facts are known. 

• A neat appearance helps to make a 

good impression. 

• Use the Student Services Housing 

Registry, but remember that there are 

other resources available. 

• Speak to other students. Remember, 

word of mouth can get you a great 

apartment or room. 

• Check the classified ads in the Montreal 

and South Shore newspapers. Le 

Courrier du Sud is a good source 

of information. You can scan the 

classifieds on their Internet site at www. 

courrierdusud.com 

• Check the bulletin boards in the local 

shopping centres, grocery stores, etc. 

• Sharing an apartment with another 

student can be cheaper than renting on 

your own. If you are interested in finding 

a roommate, stop by Student Services 

and place an advertisement in the 

Housing Registry. 

Found a place to stay 

Ask yourself the following: 

• Do your appliances work Nothing can 

be as frustrating as a stove that does not 

work, clogged drains, leaky faucets, etc. 

• Are the rooms well heated How 

• How clean is the building This will give 

you a clue as to the type of service that 

you will receive. 

• Is your room soundproof Remember, 

living near an arcade or heavy traffic 

can be irritating and can cut into sleep 

and study time. 

• Is there enough storage space and 

closet space For example, where will 

you put your bike for the winter 

• If it is unfurnished, how big will your 

apartment be after you move in your 

furniture 

• How many electrical outlets are there 

Are they located in convenient places 

• Are there laundry facilities in the 

building If not, how far away is the 

nearest laundromat 

• How far away are you from shopping 

centres, grocery stores, banks or a 

credit union 

• What is the route to school Will you 

have to pay two or more fares to get to 

your destination 

• Is there access to a telephone 

• Are pets allowed 

• If you own a car, are there proper par king 

facilities Do you have to pay extra 

• Are blankets and linen provided with 

your room rental 

• Is there a secure lock leading into your 

apartment or room 

• If you rent a room, what are the 

expectations about having friends visit, 

the sound level of your music, etc. 

Incidentals 

Do you need pots and pans, dishes, towels, 

blankets, sheets or small appli ances... All 

this can be costly if it’s not provided or if 

you do not bring your own. 

Important note 

Before signing a lease, you should 

consider important information which is 

available from Student Services at (450) 

672-7360, extension 355. If you encounter 

problems with your lease, you can contact:

201 Place Charles Lemoyne, 6th floor, 

Longueuil 

(514) 873-2245 or www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca 

There is no charge for this service. If you 

have a room in a private home where 

three or more rooms are rented out, or 

if your room has its own bathroom and 

a separate entrance, you are eligible for 

assistance from the Rental Board. Student 

Services is also available to give you a 

hand with any housing difficulties. The 

housing information is general and subject 

to change. Statements concerning rights 

obligations, deadlines, etc. should be 

carefully reviewed with the Rental Board 

before taking any action. 

Transportation 

Public transportation is an economical 

way to travel. See Student Services about 

bus routes and fares and whether you are 

eligible for a student pass. Information on 

the local South Shore bus routes, fares, etc. 

is available on the Réseau de transport de 

Longueuil web site at www.rtl-longueuil. 

qc.ca. Students who choose to drive to 

school can park their vehicles at the college. 

Parking passes are available at $150 per 

year, $85 per semester and $35 per month. 

Daily parking fees are $5.00 per day. 

Students will be able to purchase booklets 

of 10 tickets for $30. A valid Champlain ID 

card is required at the time of purchase. 

Prices are subject to change without notice.
