Program details
Overview
Arts visuels (Visual Arts, DEC 510.A0) is a two-year pre-university diploma offered at Champlain College Lennoxville. The program spans several artistic disciplines, including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking and design, together with art history coursework, and culminates in a self-directed integrative project. For their comprehensive assessment, students exhibit this project at the student art show, submit a documented essay, and give a presentation before a jury of faculty. General education courses in English, French, humanities and physical education are taken alongside the studio curriculum, and students have access to Adobe Creative Suite software on campus; the program also involves costs for art supplies and, depending on projects chosen, camera equipment. Admission is for the fall semester only. The program suits students who are curious and creative, and who want to develop their artistic practice across multiple media before pursuing further study. Graduates typically continue to university programs in fine arts, graphic design, photography, art education, art therapy, architecture or the humanities.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Visual Arts programme page states no programme-specific academic prerequisites and no portfolio, audition or creative-submission requirement for admission; a self-directed comprehensive project, essay and presentation occur later, within the programme itself, not at entry. General Lennoxville campus requirements apply, from Champlain Regional College's Fees and Admission Requirements page: a Secondary School Diploma (DES), or a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) with the required Secondary V subjects, and application through SRAM with a $30.00 non-refundable fee ($10.00 if late). International applicants who attended schooling systems outside Canada need proof from Quebec's Ministry of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion (MIDI) or SRAM that their studies are equivalent to the Quebec Secondary V Diploma; the Fees and Admission Requirements page states no English or French proficiency test requirement for admission. The Fall-semester application deadline is March 1st.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Applications to Champlain College-Lennoxville go through the Service regional d'admission du Montreal metropolitain (SRAM). First-round deadlines for Fall 2027 entry are 1 March 2027 for Quebec and Canadian applicants and 15 March 2027 for international applicants; for Winter 2027 entry the first-round deadlines are 1 November 2026 domestically and 1 June 2026 for international applicants, the latter already past by this fetch date. Missing the first round is not final: SRAM opens second and third rounds with remaining seats, though spaces are very limited, and round-one decisions become available from 2 April. Admission therefore runs through successive SRAM rounds rather than a single hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
