Advising & Academic Support
At Champlain College, we've built a support system where someone always has your back¡ªfrom day one through graduation.

Getting Help Is Easy Here
We truly believe that getting help should be simple. Your academic success is a critical part of your college experience. Yes, we know you’re here for more than just classes, but doing well in class shows us you’ll do well after graduation too. Our hands-on learning approach helps make this happen. No matter if you need basic help, want to get ahead, or just need some extra resources for your work, we’re here for you¡ªno question about it.
Your Two-Part Support Team
At Champlain College, you get two key advisors to help you succeed. Your faculty advisor guides you through your classes and program requirements, while your career coach helps you prepare for your future job through the InSight program.
Together, they make sure you¡¯re learning what you need in class and getting ready for your career after college.

Why work harder when you can work smarter? This important life lesson is one we’re here to help you pick up in college and take with you in all areas of your life. Some of our regular workshops and events include time management strategies, how to remove barriers when you’re feeling stuck, building resilience and persistence in classwork, and how to start fresh with a growth mindset.
Champlain students have access to free, round-the-clock online tutoring through Brainfuse. Their robust services include provides 24/7 help in math and writing, live help in business subjects (accounting, finance, and economics), computers and tech subjects, programming languages, resume review, and interview coaching. Whether you need assistance with assignments or feedback on written projects, you can receive on-demand help.

The advice I would give to an incoming student (and myself, honestly) would be to take care of yourself. You can¡¯t do good work if you¡¯re not tending to your needs and your wellbeing, which should be your highest priority. It¡¯s okay to take time for yourself and ask for help.

More Tools & Resources
Like everything at Champlain, academic and career support comes with a personal touch. With support from advisors, mentors, and coaches, you¡¯ll explore across disciplines to customize meaningful opportunities, turning your ideas into a plan of action.
