I am enrolled in an internship or co-op. How do I ensure I receive the appropriate designation on my credential?
To receive your internship or co-op designation, the designation must appear as a program requirement, in ‘My Program’. If the requirement does not appear, or it is the wrong requirement, email credentials@camosun.ca; include your name, student ID number, program, and request to have your internship or co-op designation added to your program or changed to the correct one.
I have an optional internship or co-op designation added to my program requirements which I do not plan to complete.
If you don’t plan to complete your optional internship or co-op requirements, email credentials@camosun.ca; include your name, student ID number, program, and request to have your internship or co-op designation removed.

I took my final course(s) at another recognized post-secondary institution.
If your final program requirement is from another recognized post-secondary institution, you’ll need your transfer credit evaluated before you can apply to graduate. Request transfer credit.
It's been more than a year since I attended, and I did not apply to graduate from my program.
If it’s been over a year since you last attended, please contact Academic Advising, Indigenous Student Services, or International Advisors to determine if you still qualify.
I am not eligible to graduate because I am missing one course. However, I have approved transfer credit in my ‘Transfer Summary’ for this course, but it has not been applied to my program requirements and displays in ‘Other Courses’.
Contact Academic Advising, Indigenous Student Services, or International Advisors if you have questions about transfer credit not being applied to your program requirements.
