Requirements

When you apply you'll need to:

• submit proof of “C+” in English 12, or EFP 12; or “C” in ENGL 092 and ENGL 094; or ENGL 092 and ENGL 096; or ENGL 103 and ENGL 104; or ENGL 103 and ENGL 106; or ELD 092 and ELD 094; or ELD 097; or assessment;
• Submit proof of “C” in Principles of Math 10, or Foundations of Math & Precalculus 10, or Applications of Math 11, or Foundations of Math 11, or MATH 053, or MATH 057; or “C-” in Principles of Math 11, or Pre-calculus 11; or assessment.*
• *Note: A student can be admitted to the program without having yet met the pre-requisite to enroll in the program's math course (MATH 116). A student who does not meet the MATH 116 prerequisite at time of admission will need to upgrade their math while in the program by successfully completing "MATH 072 or MATH 135 with a C". A student who meets the MATH 116 prerequisite at time of admission will not be required to take MATH 072.

If you’re missing some prerequisites, don’t worry! Alternative secondary school prerequisites and general upgrading are available right here at Camosun College. There are many options for you to consider:

• Which English course should I take?
• Which math course should I take?

After you apply you must:

• meet with an Academic Advisor and develop a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) within the first year of study. It is preferred that students do this within the first term;
• maintain a "C" average.

Students with credit for eight or more University Transfer courses may enter the program in the Winter semester. Please see Academic Advising for further details, and to develop a Personal Learning Plan.

Program participation requirements:

• All students must meet the prerequisite for Math 116 (Year 2) in the program. Students who do not meet the prerequisite at time of admission will be required to successfully complete MATH 072 or MATH 135 with a “C” before they can enrol in MATH 116 (Year 2). Students who must take MATH 072 can enrol in it at any time prior to Year 2, but are encouraged to do so in the spring/summer term between Years 1 and 2.
• All first-year students are expected to attend the Criminal Justice Program’s First-Year Student Orientation. All second-year students must attend a Second-Year Student Orientation. Both First- and Second-Year orientations take place during the first month of classes (September). In addition, all Criminal Justice students are expected to attend any additional program information sessions as necessary.
• The Criminal Justice program is subject to an Academic Progress Policy. (Please consult the department for more information).

Eligibility for Internship Work Experience:

In order to participate in the first work term, students must successfully complete ENGL 150 and seven Year 1 program courses in the Criminal Justice program, obtain a GPA of 3.0, and complete the Workplace Education Prep workshop series (COOP WEP).
