Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

I understand I can register for continuing education classes online via CAMLINK. What is it?

CAMLINK is a secure, online records management system used for enrolling in both credit and continuing education courses. It is not necessary for you to contact Camosun beforehand.  All one needs is a valid credit card.

top

How do I 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.

top

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.

top

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.

top

Can students drop their classes using CAMLINK?

No. For a variety of reasons anyone wishing to drop their course must contact Camosun.

top

How can I obtain more detail about the course than the description contains?

Please see the contacts under program areas or refer to page 1 “Contacts List” in the print calendar.

top

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.

top

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.

top

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.

top

What if the course is full?

Our policy is to accept registrations on the first-come, first-served basis. However, if a 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.

top

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).

top

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.

top

Can I pay for a continuing education course with my credit card?

Yes! Camosun College accepts VISA, American Express, MasterCard or JBC credit card payment for all continuing education courses including credentialled certificate programs.

top

Can I pay the course fee in two installments or by postdated cheque?

Unfortunately, no. Except for programs requiring a $500 registration deposit, you are not registered until payment is received in full.

top

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”.

top

Are Continuing Education course fees tax deductible?

Courses that are HST exempt and cost more than $100 are tax deductible. An official tax receipt (T2202a) will be available online in February for the previous taxation years from camosun.ca/camlink. Please log in using your Camosun ID which is on your registration receipt. If you need further assistance please use the online help or call 250-370-3550.

top

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 if available, offer transfer them to another course or section. It is important that you provide your daytime phone number(s) when registering so that we can contact you without delay.
