About the university
Champlain College Lennoxville is a public, English-language CEGEP in Sherbrooke, in Quebec's Eastern Townships, with about 1,200 students. A CEGEP is a Quebec college: it awards the Diploma of College Studies (DEC), not degrees. Pre-university DECs take two years and lead on to university; technical DECs take three years and lead to work.
Teaching is in English, but under Quebec's Law 14 international students must take three French preparatory courses and two programme courses in French. All international students pay the same tuition, CA$7,575 per semester in 2026-2027. Technical programmes such as computer science technology, accounting, business and nursing are the most relevant for Indian students.
