Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Indigenous College Prep Certificate requires one of: a C in English 11, or a C in English 11 Camosun Alternative, with proof of that grade or higher required at application. Camosun designs the programme for Indigenous students (a self-identified descendant of the Indigenous peoples of North America, including status and non-status Indians, Metis, Inuit and Native Americans resident in Canada) and delivers it at Wṣánec College near Brentwood Bay in partnership with the Wṣánec School Board. The programme's own admissions page states no further academic prerequisite, no minimum grade point average, and no English-language test score (no IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL is published); applicants short of the English 11 requirement can pursue Camosun's assessment or upgrading services before applying.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC for Camosun's open-enrolment programmes: for Fall 2027 (September) applications open 1 October 2026 with an early deadline of 15 May 2027 for priority registration and a late deadline of 26 August 2027; Winter 2027 (January) runs 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027, and Summer 2027 (May) 15 January 2027 to 29 April 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes publish only an opening date and can close once the waitlist exceeds the seats on offer. International applicants must submit a complete application by 1 June (Fall), 1 October (Winter) or 1 February (Summer), though later applications are still reviewed while seats remain, making admission effectively rolling for both groups once the early deadlines pass. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
