Implementation of a college academic intervention plan
Attention: If you had an intervention plan in high school, it will not automatically be transferred to the College
Steps required: If you have in your possession a medical note or an evaluation report that confirms the presence of a disability, or a need for adaptive measures, we invite you to contact our Adaptive Measures Counselor Josee Beaudry as soon as possible/
We encourage you to take steps as soon as possible so that your intervention plan is developed before the start of the school year. A late request will lead to a delay in your support measures.
In addition to these stages, the College will organize a student orientation session the week before the start of the school year. A MIO will be sent to you with all the details to register. Make sure to check your messages regularly!

Every diploma program includes two French courses. Streaming in your first French course is based on your previous studies in French and is assessed by the Language Department. No placement test is required.

The English and French preparation courses are available in the Summer and Fall semesters, but taking the course in the Summer allows students to stay on track for their program and graduation timeline.

This guide is the combined effort of eight English Colleges: Champlain Lennoxville, Champlain St. Lambert, Champlain St. Lawrence, Dawson College, Heritage College, John Abbott College, Marianopolis College, and Vanier College.
In the Winter 2020 semester, we had to pivot to remote emergency online learning. We decided to work together to help everyone to prepare for the coming semester. This guide allows students to self-assess their readiness for college success and keep the resources for reference to help them along the way. Students, by consulting each section, you have the opportunity to reflect, learn new strategies, find helpful information, and get an overview of your college’s resources.
