Orientation and Welcome Events

General Orientation – All students are welcome

In-Person New Student Orientation Session

(Fall schedule to be released soon)

In-person orientation sessions are the perfect option for those who prefer a hands-on experience. These sessions are optional but highly recommended and are open to all new students. They are usually held one week before Fall, Winter, and Summer intakes. During the in-person orientation, you will:

• Get essential information about pre-arrival to-dos, student services, and campus life.
• Engage in social activities to help you connect with peers.
• Take a guided campus tour to familiarize yourself with the important locations and facilities.

Online Workshops

(Fall schedule to be released soon)

Online sessions are offered to explore specific topics, such as D2L—the learning management platform used by Camosun—and Library Services. They are usually held before classes start and during the first month of Fall, Winter, and Summer intakes. These online events provide flexibility and convenience, allowing you to participate from anywhere.

Additional Orientation

To further support our diverse student body, we offer specialized orientation sessions tailored to different groups of students. These sessions address unique needs and provide targeted information and resources.
