Resources for Parents of Students

This is a great question. Keeping open lines of communication with your child is vital in learning about their transition, successes and failures, and we encourage you to communicate directly with your son or daughter about their Bishop’s experience. Once a student has turned 18 years of age, we legally cannot share any information with anyone regarding a student’s academic performance or any personal information, so we will be unable to answer this question for you.

The Academic Calendar provides the timetable of dates for the current year. Typically the Fall semester runs from late August or early September to mid-December and the Winter semester runs from early January to the end of April. There is also a Spring semester that runs from the beginning of May until the end of June. There are no classes or programming in July and most of August.

Bishop’s has a very welcoming community and offers one of the safest environments you will find. We take extreme pride in doing what we can in providing an ideal environment for students to study, live, work and play including providing Campus Security services 24/7 who are also trained first responders. The Bishop’s community totals approximately 2,500 students, 500 faculty and staff and shares our campus with Champlain Regional College which has a community of approximately 1,500 staff and students. Additionally, the Borough of Lennoxville has another 5,800 residents. In total our community is made up of nearly 10,000 individuals so students should use common sense and take regular precautions.

There is no one person or office to contact if you have questions. The list to the right is organized by our campus offices and their roles and responsibilities. We encourage you to reach out to the unit or individual who looks after the area of your concern. If you are unsure please direct calls to our switchboard and they will assist you (1-819-822-9600).
