Objective
Logistics is the universal thread or “pipeline” that plans and coordinates the delivery of products and services to customers all over the world. It ensure an effective and efficient flow of materials and information from the time a need arises until it is satisfied and beyond.
Logistics is involved every time you purchase a product, whether it’s food, medicine, or clothing. It doesn’t matter how you shop, whether at a store, by mail order, through direct sales, or via the Internet, you are being served by the logistics pipeline. The items you purchase have been transported from manufacturers near and far to get to you and logistics professionals have managed each of these journeys.
The goal of this program is to prepare students for employment in the domain of transportation and logistics. Designed for adults who do not have any prior academic training in the areas of transportation and logistics, the intention of this program is to enable them to begin successful careers and provide a sound foundation for further education and career development in this economic sector.
Most importantly, the area of transportation and logistics offers everything that you want in a career such as job openings at all levels, good salaries, upward mobility, interesting responsibilities and worldwide opportunities.
Graduates of this Program would be prepared for employment in positions such as Logistics Coordinator, Fleet Manager, Logistics Dispatcher, and Transport and Export Technician.

Course Withdrawal – Credit courses
Students can officially withdraw from credit courses within the first 20% of the course. (Example: Within the first 9 hours of a 45 hour course, 12 hours of a 60 hour course, etc.). Courses which have been dropped officially within this timeframe will not appear on the student’s transcript. Students who are registered for 180 hours of courses during a given semester hold a full-time student status. Should a student choose to withdraw from a credit course(s) and as a result of this their student status changes, all fees will be recalculated. Students will either be charged the difference or sent a refund. If, after the official withdrawal date, students stop attending courses in which they are registered, they will receive the grade cumulated at the time they stopped attending.
Also, by withdrawing from a course(s) within your Attestation program, it may make it difficult or impossible for you to continue with your program at that time or it may delay you in the completion of your program.
To avoid academic consequences on your permanent record (such as a failing grade for a course you did not complete), you must withdraw officially before the withdrawal deadline for each course. Requests for official withdrawals must be done in writing. The appropriate form for withdrawal is available from the Continuing Education Office (F-107). You may also send an email indicating your intentions to withdraw to continuingeducation@champlaincollege.qc.ca.
