About Champlain Regional College
Champlain Regional College is the only English-language college with multiple constituent colleges serving three administrative regions: the Montérégie (16), the Estrie (05), and the Capitale-Nationale (03). The Québec Government defines the College as a single corporate entity, which the Board of Governors respects when dealing with issues of governance and finance. However, one of the College’s greatest strengths is the Board’s appreciation for each constituent’s distinct culture and traditions, and recognition of their unique circumstances and needs.
Each constituent college offers a unique and rich experience to its students based on its particular history, culture, and traditions. While each constituent college is based in an administrative region, it is important to note that Cégeps have “open borders” and serve all regions of Québec. For example, our St. Lawrence and Lennoxville constituent colleges regularly welcome students from the eastern regions of Québec such as the Côte Nord and Gaspésie.
