We know that new students have many questions about what to expect in their first year of college. Research shows that attending orientation sessions can help new students more readily adapt to this significant change. Check out the various orientation sessions at Camosun.
New Student Orientation
These sessions are open to all new domestic and international students. They are optional but recommended. Information on Summer 2023 to come.
New International Student Orientation
International students are required to attend three online New International Student Orientations.
Indigenous Student Orientation
Indigenous students can contact Eyēʔ Sqȃ’lewen – The Centre for Indigenous Education & Community Connections to connect with an Indigenous Advisor to get oriented to Camosun.
