Orientation
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 offered for students at Camosun.
General Student Orientation
These sessions are open to all new domestic and international students. They are optional but highly recommended. Pre-registration is required.
International Student Orientation
International students are required to attend three online New Student Orientation sessions, usually, a couple of weeks before the first semester starts.
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.
Specific School Orientation Sessions
Sometimes, your chosen program will host a specific orientation session. Stay tuned in your mailbox and on the Events at Camosun webpage.
Welcome Events
As students transition into their academics, the Camosun College family and the Camosun College Student Society will be doing their best to welcome new and returning students to Camosun through in-person and virtual events.
Parents and Supporters
Families play a huge role in a student's life, and Camosun has a number of resources to give support.
