This Saturday, April 2, Champlain College’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions is hosting the first of two Accepted Student Days. There is also a smaller event this Friday, April 1, in the early evening. The second Admitted Student Day event will be held on Friday/Saturday, April 15/16.
We anticipate approximately 800 people on campus this Saturday. To reduce additional car volume in our neighborhood, all event guests will park in our Lakeside Avenue parking area and will board a number of large buses to get to our main campus. These buses are in addition to our regular hourly weekend shuttle service. Buses will come up Main Street, drop students off in front of Perry Hall on South Willard Street and then go back to Lakeside via South Willard Street. We will NOT have any buses on Maple, Summit or South Prospect Streets.
The City has issued “no parking” permits on South Willard Street (from the Maple Street stop sign to the IDX crosswalk) for Friday evening and Saturday. Signs will be placed on the street Thursday as reminders of the parking restriction on Friday and Saturday. Please do not park in this area so that the buses have a location for pickup/drop off. Towing will be enforced by the City.
We are most appreciative of our neighbors’ understanding during this coming weekend. If, despite our best efforts, a vehicle is parked inappropriately, blocks a driveway, or creates similar issues, please call 802-555-1212 and someone will promptly address your concern. We are in contact with the Burlington Police and will address any vehicles that are not abiding by our policy to leave their car at Lakeside. As noted above, in order to get our visiting potential students and their families around, we will have more buses than usual around campus to ensure compliance with our no vehicle policy and to minimize the impact of cars on our neighbors.
Thank you in advance for your flexibility around this exciting event for Champlain College. If you have any questions, please contact me -- Sandy Yusen, syusen@champlain.edu.
