Free tuition for upgrading? Yes!
Free education? Well, almost...
Student fees provide the extra benefits that make Camosun a great choice for adults
Most upgrading classes at Camosun are tuition-free, but there are some education costs that you pay, like the application per program fee, textbooks and student fees. The extra benefits you get while attending college are a good value and will contribute to your academic success. You only pay for the number of weeks you are here—short courses have lower student fees. Sample fees
