Student fees—how much will it cost for tuition-free courses?
This information is accurate as of September 1, 2011.
As a member of the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS), you must pay non-refundable fees and levies. The amount you pay depends on a combination of:
- how long your courses last
- the time of year you attend (extended health/dental coverage is available only during Fall and Winter academic terms)
- whether or not you have your own extended health/dental coverage
The following chart shows some of the more common student fee costs for Camosun’s “Free Tuition” courses, including Academic Upgrading (courses starting with “0”, like English 021, Math 073, etc.) and BEST.

2 Student health/dental benefit plan
Most full-time students who pay Student Society fees are required to participate in the CCSS Student Benefits Plan. If you are enrolled in eligible programs or courses for nine class hours per week or more, you will be automatically assessed fees at the time of registration.
3 Student health/dental benefit plan opt-out and exemptions
Students with existing coverage may choose to opt-out of the extended health and/or dental plan(s). Opt-out forms are available from the Student Benefits Plan office. Opt-out applications will not be considered after the opt-out deadlines.
You will be exempt from the health/dental benefit plan if you attend class for less than 9 hours each week, or during spring or summer academic terms.
To obtain a Student Benefits Plan booklet, or for more information on the plan, please contact the Student Benefits Plan office at 250-370-1614 or ccssplan@camosun.bc.ca.
