Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires C+ in English 12, or C in English 12 Camosun Alternative; the college publishes no separate IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL score, the English 12 grade itself being the stated language requirement. Many first-year business courses require math as a prerequisite: C in Pre-calculus 11, Foundations of Math 11, MATH 073, MATH 077 or MATH 137, or C+ in MATH 072, MATH 075 or MATH 135. Students may be admitted without a completed math course but must finish one of the listed courses, or pass Camosun's math assessment, in or before their first semester. Applicants must submit proof of the stated grade or higher, and international students are welcomed to apply. The certificate accepts entry in September, January or May.

Application Details

Start Date: Three starts a year: September (Fall term), January (Winter term) and May (Summer term). Camosun lists this as an open-enrolment programme, so the intake is not capped.

Application Deadline: DOMESTIC APPLICANTS follow Camosun's college-wide open-enrolment schedule, not a date set by this programme. Winter 2027 (January start): early deadline 15 September 2026, final deadline 7 January 2027. Summer 2027 (May start): early deadline 15 January 2027, final deadline 29 April 2027. Fall 2027 (September start): applications open 1 October 2026, early deadline 15 May 2027, final deadline 26 August 2027. Applying by the early date puts your file in front of Admissions in time for priority course registration; nothing is accepted after the final date. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS have separate deadlines: 1 June for a September (Fall) start, 1 October for January (Winter) and 1 February for May (Summer). Those dates hold only while seats remain, so a popular intake can close sooner; a later application may still be looked at if seats are open and there is time to obtain a study permit. Domestic and international applicants both apply online through EducationPlannerBC (apply.educationplannerbc.ca/camosun).
