Program details

Overview

The course uses ArcGIS software to build understanding of geospatial data and the broad range of applications GIS supports. Learners create and edit geospatial data, combine it into clear, informative maps, and put together story maps along with other web tools for sharing their work. It also covers fundamental GIS concepts, including data models, coordinate systems and projections.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Camosun states every student enrolling in this GIS and Data Collection Technologies Micro-credential "must purchase a digital device" meeting listed minimum specifications (9th-generation Intel Core i7 or AMD equivalent, 16GB RAM, discrete graphics card, 1TB SSD, webcam, headset/microphone, 15-inch 1920x1080 screen). No academic prerequisite, minimum grade average, or English-language test score is published for admission.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall

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.
