Overview

Restorative Justice is a philosophy and a set of practices that sees conflict and crime as harm done to people, relationships and community. It seeks to empower those impacted by conflict and crime to make decisions about the response instead of relying on institutions like courts to heal the harm. This course is an introduction to Restorative Justice process and theory. It serves as an introduction to the more comprehensive Restorative Justice Caseworker course.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic (Canadian) applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC; Vancouver Island University sets no institution-wide equal-consideration date, and its admissions FAQ states deadlines vary by programme, with applications for most academic programmes opening 1 October in the year before a September start. VIU publishes no general closing date for that window; applicants are directed to each programme's own page for its own deadline. International applicants use the same portal; VIU publishes no international-specific institution-wide date either, and several health programmes (Practical Nursing, Nursing Unit Assistant) are stated as not currently open to international students. Each programme's own page carries its own Start Date, Deadlines, and Additional Application Details table for the 2026-27 cycle, and admission for programmes without a stated window is treated as ongoing/rolling until the intake fills. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
