How to Apply
Legal Office Assistant
1. Apply
Your first step is to submit an application form and application fee $35.70 ($36.41 after September 1/11). You can apply online or download the form and mail it in.
When to apply
- You can start in September of every year
- If you're currently in Grade 12 you should apply between September 15 and February 28, and include your Personal Education Number (PEN) on the application form.
2. Establish your qualifications – a two step process
Step One: program admission requirements
- Send your transcript* to Enrolment Services soon after you apply.
- If you're currently in Grade 12, you don't need to submit your transcript as long as you apply before February 28. Contact your high school counsellor to complete a "PSI" form that gives permission for your grades to be electronically downloaded to Camosun. Camosun will offer you "provisional admission" subject to a review of your interim grades in May, and your final grades at the end of the school year.
Step Two: transfer credit
- New students are required to submit their 'official' post-secondary transcripts with their application form or as soon as possible when applying for admission. Transfer credit assessment can take 6 to 8 weeks so it is important that you include all relevant documents including course outlines not listed on the BC Transfer Credit Guide. Refer to the School of Business Transfer Credit Checklist for further information.
*Official paper transcripts must be submitted to Camosun in an envelope sealed by the sending post-secondary or secondary institution.
3. Course prerequisites
You don't need to worry about this when you first apply. Prerequisites are relevant later, when you select your classes and register.
4. Choose your classes and register
Enrolment Services will mail you a letter explaining how and when you will register for classes. This normally happens in June or July if you're starting in September. At this time, you will also be asked to pay a $175 registration deposit as a down payment.
5. Pay remaining fees
Your tuition fees for your first semester classes, less the $175 you already paid as a deposit, will be due two weeks after your first class begins. Check Important Dates for specific deadlines. Added to your tuition will be student and ancillary fees, including a subsidized bus pass and health benefit plans.
