Requirements
Admission Requirements: Camosun requires C in English 12 or an approved Camosun Alternative for admission to the Public Administration Certificate. As with its related Business programmes, the page separates a course-readiness condition from the admission bar itself: many first-year Business courses require a mathematics prerequisite (C in Pre-Calculus 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11, MATH 073, MATH 077, or MATH 137, or C+ in MATH 072, MATH 075, or MATH 135), and students may still enter without it, provided they complete one of those math courses, or pass Camosun's math assessment, by their first semester. The page states no minimum GPA, no standardized English-language test score, and no further non-academic condition. Applicants who have already completed course work at another institution are directed toward a transfer-credit assessment.
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).
