Definitions

What does it mean when a program is waitlisted? What programs are always open and accepting students all year long? Understanding how programs are classified helps with planning.

Program types

Camosun categorizes programs to help manage application and enrolment processes and apply any application or registration deadlines.

Program types defined

Open Enrolment

A program with no defined limit on the number of students accepted into the program.

Limited Enrolment

A program with a defined limit on the number of students accepted to the program. In many cases, enrolment is cohort-based, and courses are only available to those students enrolled within the program. When there are more qualified applicants than seats, a waitlist is typically created. Also referred to as a ‘Seated Program’.

Competitive Entry

A program where demand tends to exceed available seats and where applicants are ranked and selected based on defined criteria, such as grades/grade point average, portfolios, or other supplemental information. Application deadlines and minimum admission requirements must be met to be considered.

Program status

What does it mean when we say a program is "open", "waitlisting" or "waitlisting high demand"?  Understanding Program Status helps with planning and setting expectations for receiving an Offer of Admission.

*The program status is subject to change. For example, the program may be open when an application is submitted, but it may be waitlisting by the time an applicant becomes admissible.

Program status defined
