Frequently asked questions
Do I need to make any payments before Camosun issues my Letter of Acceptance?
As a new international student, you will first need to pay a non-refundable application fee when you submit your application.
After your application is reviewed and accepted, you will need to pay a non-refundable and non-transferable New Student Tuition and Fee Deposit before the deadline specified by the International Admissions. This deposit is applied toward your program tuition and fees.
These payments confirm your plan to attend Camosun College and allow us to prepare your Letter of Acceptance and other documents you need for your study permit application, if applicable.
What are the estimated costs per semester?
Please explore the estimated costs per semester for most Arts, Science, Business, Sport & Exercise and University Transfer programs.
How much does it cost to live in Victoria?
