Requirements
Admission Requirements: Camosun publishes course-specific entry guidance for this micro-credential rather than routing applicants through a general admission process. It recommends that students have completed Grade 11-level math and Grade 11 English, or the equivalent, before enrolling; no additional formal courses, minimum average, or standardized English-language test score (such as IELTS or TOEFL) is stated. The online course runs as six two-hour live lectures plus three two-hour directed exploration activities, and participants need a computer with internet access, a microphone, and speakers to take part. To complete the micro-credential successfully, students must achieve an overall grade of 70%. No portfolio, interview, work experience, age limit, or criminal-record check is mentioned for this introductory renewable-energy course.
Application Details
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.
