APRIL: RETURN YOUR RESIDENCE LEASE TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM
The residence lease must be received by the deadline date indicated in the letter you will receive with your lease.

Payment for the first month’s rent and 3. Payment of the $40.00 processing fee if you are a new student. Payments can be made in the form of (i) a duly completed pre-authorized debit form including a specimen cheque or (ii) a cheque or money order payable to Champlain Regional College. Incomplete leases or payments will be returned and result in the suspension of your residence application and revision of your priority status accordingly.
