Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
How can I obtain more detail about the course than the description contains?
See contacts under program areas. If you are requesting a course outline, please include your fax number or mailing address.
What if my course is relocated or rescheduled?
We make every effort to avoid doing this, but occasionally it is necessary. Current telephone numbers on your registration form are a big help should this happen. We will do our best to contact you to advise of changes. If it is not acceptable to you, a full refund will be issued.

- Continuing Education Calendar pickup locations.
Where do I find the Camosun College application form application form?
The Continuing Education course I’d like to enroll in requires submitting a Camosun College application form. Where do I find the application form?
How can I obtain more detail about the course than the description contains?
See contacts under program areas. If you are requesting a course outline, please include your fax number or mailing address.
Are there any prerequisites I must have to take Continuing Education courses?
In most cases, you do not need prerequisites for non-credentialled Continuing Education courses. However, please read the course descriptions carefully as some contain recommendations for a certain skill level or knowledge, without which the student may be at a disadvantage.
What level of English Language Competency is required?
To help ensure a successful and positive learning experience, fluency in spoken and written English is essential for all courses.
Can I pay the course fee in two installments or by postdated cheque?
Unfortunately, no. Except for programs requiring a $500 registration deposit, you will not have your registration confirmed until payment is received in full, but remember, for classes other than certificate programs, you can use your VISA, American Express, MasterCard or JBC number to register in person or by fax (250-370-3551), mail or by phone (250-370-3550).
I plan to register for a continuing education course. Can I still pay with my credit card?
Yes! Camosun College continues to accept credit card payment. If you are enrolling in Activity Assistant, Hospital Unit Clerk, Medical Laboratory Assistant, Travel Counselling or Web Foundation, we ask that you check with Student Services for payment options.
Are Continuing Education course fees tax deductible?
Course fees totaling more than $100 in a year to the same institution are tax deductible.
Why are some courses cancelled?
A minimum enrolment is required to recover the full costs of providing the course. When a course fails to reach this minimum we reluctantly cancel it. We do this five working days before the course start date. This enables us to contact the registrants and provide a refund, or if available, offer them a transfer to another course or section. It is important that you provide your phone number(s) when registering so that we can contact you without delay.
Can I transfer to a different section?
Transfers within the same subject area are permitted without penalty (e.g. Computers – Level I to Computers – Level II).
What happens if the course I want is full and my name is placed on the interest list?
Our policy is to accept registrations on the first-come, first-served basis which applies to the receipt of tuition fees by the Information & Registration department. However, if a course is full, a person's name will be placed on an interest list. If the interest list is sufficiently large and additional instructors and facilities are available, another section of the course may be added. All those on the interest list will be contacted by mail or telephone with details. The first-come, first-served rule applies in this situation.
Should a place become available in a course, the first person on the interest list is telephoned and offered the place. Only one call will be made to each person on the interest list. If that person cannot be contacted the next person is contacted. If you are offered a seat, you may register over the telephone using VISA, MasterCard, American Express and JCB International. Alternatively, we will hold the seat for one working day to enable you to register and pay in person. However, after the hold expires, the first-come, first-served rule applies and the seat may be offered to another individual.
Information for students with a disability
College courses and facilities are accessible to students with disabilities. If you require accomodations or information on access, please contact the Disability Resource Centre, Dawson 119, 370–3312 at Lansdowne Campus or Campus Centre 210, 370-4049 at Interurban Campus prior to registering. Telephone for the deaf is 370–3311 at Lansdowne and 370-4051 at Interurban.
Is there a minimum age required to take a Continuing Education course?
The minimum age is 16 unless specified otherwise. Exceptions to this policy can be made at the discretion of the Director or designate.
My registration fees will be paid by my employer or a sponsoring agency. What do I need to do?
If fees are paid by your employer or a sponsoring agency, please have your employer (or sponsoring agency) complete and submit the “Employer/Sponsor Approval for Fees-Continuing Education registration form”.
I understand I can now register for continuing education classes online via CAMLINK. What is it?
CAMLINK is a secure, online records management system, used for enrolling daytime, credit students. It is now possible for anyone to register in continuing education classes via CAMLINK. It is not necessary for you to contact Camosun beforehand. All one needs is a valid credit card.
How does one access CAMLINK?
http://camosun.ca/ce/ceregister
If we do not have your name and mailing address in our records, then, upon successful credit card payment, a new record and CAMLINK account will be created for you. If you are already in the CAMLINK ‘system’, the new continuing education registration will be attached to your existing record.
Are all continuing education courses available through this?
You can register for the vast majority of continuing education classes. The exceptions are credentialed Continuing Education certificate programs.
What if the desired course is full?
You have the option of going to a web form to request to be placed on a call list for the course.
Can students drop their classes using CAMLINK?
No. For a variety of reasons anyone wishing to drop their course must contact Camosun.
How do I find out my CAMLINK username?
After paying the registration fees the confirmation page will display your username (e.g. C0123456). The system will send you your password by email.
The importance of clean air
We all share the air. Please be mindful.
