Student Fees 2023/24

Effective September 2023

*** ESL (ELD) fees depend on the level.

ELD 0XX full-time cap: When a student is approved to take two or more ELD 0XX courses in a given term, the maximum ELD tuition fee is $5,680 per term. This applies even if the combined tuition of all approved ELD 0XX courses, including ELD 0XX electives, is higher than $5,680 per term. This cap does not apply when a student takes any ELD 1xx level or higher, any academic courses in the same term, or changes to part-time studies.

ELD Co-registration: Students in ELD courses who also register in any academic courses (including upgrading courses) will be required to pay additional tuition and fees per course. Students must meet course-specific prerequisites.

Continuing students are expected to contact Camosun International Student Experience Advisors to find out exact fees and confirm whether they meet course prerequisites.

All fees are in Canadian dollars.
