Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Indigenous Community Wellness Certificate requires one of: a C in English 12, or a C in English 12 Camosun Alternative, plus self-identification as Indigenous (First Nation, Metis or Inuit), which the programme lists as a formal admission condition rather than a general description. Camosun's admissions page states no minimum grade point average, no portfolio or interview requirement, and no dedicated English-language test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL); the English 12-equivalent grade above is the stated language condition, and applicants must supply proof of that grade or higher when they apply. Applicants short of the English requirement can pursue Camosun's assessment or upgrading route beforehand.
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.
