International Students - Application Process

Application Process

Please review the Admissions Deadlines for International students.
We recommend you apply early. Popular programs may have waitlists.
 

The international student application process consists of two parts:

Part One: EducationPlannerBC

You must apply online through EducationPlannerBC first.

• Save your reference number
• Save e-payment receipt

Application vs. Admission

Submission of an application does not guarantee admission to a program or course. Seat offers in programs and courses are subject to seat availability. Some programs may have a waitlist.

Program Change

Program change requests may be considered subject to the availability of seats and meeting respective admission requirements. Not all programs may have seats available. Popular programs may have long waitlists.

Preliminary Assessment

If you are not sure whether you meet the admission requirements for international students, consider skipping the EducationPlannerBC step and submitting supporting documents only with a request for unofficial evaluation (free of charge).

Incoming Transfer Students

The International Admissions department does not evaluate previous coursework for credit towards a Camosun College credential. Please review information for International Transfer students.

Part Two: Supporting documents

Submit supporting documents in English. Where appropriate, please provide English translations of all documents (transcripts and credentials) for all education completed and indicated in the application form. Documents submitted become the property of Camosun College and will not be returned.

Use of a Camosun-authorized Education Consultant (if applicable)

Camosun works with a number of qualified education consultants abroad who provide education counselling services to international students. You can check with us if your education consultant is authorized with Camosun College.

Whether you are planning to apply to Camosun College on your own using easy step-by-step instructions above or hire a Camosun-authorized education consultant – that is entirely your choice. Camosun gives no preference to applications submitted directly or via education consultants.

• If you want your Camosun-authorized education consultant to submit your application to Camosun for you, you must complete this form and ask them to email it to international_applications@camosun.ca together with your additional application supporting documents listed above.

• If applicable, the appointed education consultant will receive the correspondence from Camosun International Admissions, not the applicant. Before you receive an Official Letter of Acceptance, if you have any questions, please connect with your appointed education consultant.
