The community is your campus. As well as offering programs on both the Lansdowne and Interurban campuses, the School of Access offers courses at several off-campus locations around Victoria.

Community Learning Partnerships (CLP)
Feeling unsure about returning to school? Community Learning Partnerships (CLP), a department of the School of Access, takes education to community-based sites to make it easier to begin or return to learning.
Students learn in a comfortable environment with other adults who share similar backgrounds and get help from friendly and compassionate Camosun instructors and staff. CLP can be a starting point in getting ready to transfer to on-campus college programs.
- CLP offers Academic Upgrading and College Preparatory courses in English and math
- CLP offers online, blended, and in-person courses including:
- ENGL 022, ENGL 023, ENGL 024, ENGL 025, ENGL 033, ENGL 050, ENGL 070, ENGL 092, ENGL 094 and ENGL 095
