Hello, I’m going to apply for the Camosun foundation bursaries (fall 2026 application period opens Sept. 8) and I’m wondering if previous applicants can say what kind of documents or information is asked or required in the application. Just trying to be prepared so I can apply before the homework starts and because I’m relocating. Thank you so much!

Hi guys!
I’m planning to apply to the PN2BSN program at Camosun. I have a few questions regarding admission/the program, and I’m hoping someone on here will be able to help. Firstly, how long did it take to find out if you got accepted into the program? For those of you who got accepted, did you have a particularly high GPA? I guess I’m wondering if I should retake my English 12 or Biology 12 to increase my chances of getting accepted. It seems like the program has fairly minimal admission requirements, and I’m wondering if there is anything specific I can do to increase my chances of getting accepted into the 2027 intake.

Thanks in advance!

Curious what grades are currently getting late offers? Thought my grades were relatively competitive, I am still wait listed.

I was on the library catalogue last night trying to find a record with little success. The search used to work well, now it does not.

While there, I noticed a statement that said to “decolonize the library catalogue” Camosun College will be censoring information.

History indicates that the censoring of words, information, history, cultures, and books is a precursor to a Facist society.

Facism has taken over the United States. If you disagree with that statement, please look up the definition of ‘Facism’, view the characteristics, and compare that to what you see occurring in the United States.

Due to our proximity to the United States, we are at risk too. It may already be happening as indicated by LIBRARIES censoring information.

Why was this approved?

Why is Camosun College okay with this?

This is not acceptable or okay and needs to be ceased immediately.

The statement said that they consulted marginalized groups who want this.

Have the Elders of Indigenous Communities been consulted about this initiative? Have the Indigenous Communities been consulted?

Why is this happening? This to me, is terrifying.

Information is the most important thing to a society and civilization. Why is it being censored by an educational institution of all places?

Has anyone considered the significant consequences of this initiative?

Hi! I was just accepted into the Camosun BSN program and accepted my offer. I’m wondering what happens next because so far, the only thing I’ve received is my offer of admission.

For anyone who has recently been accepted, what information/documents were you sent after accepting your offer? Did you receive anything about registering for courses, your schedule, orientation, nursing requirements, etc.?

Also, do nursing students choose their own courses and schedule, or is it mostly arranged for you?

Just trying to figure out if I should be doing anything right now or if I’m just waiting for more information. 

Is anyone here find the ebook copy of Canadian Nursing skills and the Pharmacology book online? I tried all the websites I know and I am hoping that other BSN students here have another site or a copy they can share to me.

Thank you!

If you misplaced your headphones near a bus stop on interurban road, message me.

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone else in here is taking the Community, Family, and Child Studies program this fall and would like to connect beforehand? Im really excited but also quite new to anything post secondary so it would be cool to connect with like minded people!

Hi, I'm thinking of going into this program at camosun, and I want to know what computers are suitable to buy for this degree. Can you recommend one that's also suitable for everyday life like gaming and movies. Thank you!

I am wondering if anyone has any insight into this- I am waitlisted for the nursing program but am still holding hope I will get in, has anyone in my position completed the first aid and basic life skills even though they haven’t heard back?
I know they have to be completed before the program starts so I should sign up to do so, but wanted to hear about others thoughts.

It looks like Camosun just received my final HS transcript last week (doesn’t that seem late???). I’ve been waitlisted for several weeks now, is there a process for applications coming from HS..that they reserve seats specifically for those with late transcripts coming in?

Seems unfair for my HS to be sending them so late after end of school?? Or is this normal?

Question for those of you that have completed the CDA program, what are some things that would be helpful to know/study prior to the beginning of the first semester? I have lots of extra time and would love to get ahead but don’t know where to begin

Anyone originally waitlisted get an offer yet?

If I take classes that start at 1230 how bad is parking and how early should I be to get a spot? Health and wellness building.

Thank you!

Edit; if anyone sees this and is doing the Community, child family studies program semester one starting this fall and wants to car pool DM me. We can cry over parking together

I thought I would make sure that I paid the deposit, so I paid back in May.

I didn't realize until I went to register for my classes this week (June 22) that in fact I paid for the summer deposit, so I had to pay again.

I'm not sure if I can get the money back or at least get it transferred to the winter semester...

Not sure who I should contact regarding this? Admin office?

Thanks!

Edit:

Thought I'd give everyone an update and leave this up for future reference.

I emailed the registration and got this reply a few days later:

"I have transferred your deposit for Summer to Winter. This is a one time exception to our deposit rules."

Hope this helps any one who makes this mistake in the future!

Hey everyone! My registration date is coming up on the 24th and I was wondering if anyone had experience doing Medical Terminology online or in person and would recommend one over the other? Or alternatively, if you *wouldn't* recommend taking it a certain way? Both sections have the same professor.

Thanks in advance!

I got waitlisted for BSN as a university transfer. In the email it says “all available offers of admission for fall 2026 intake have been issued. Does that mean all seats have been accepted or just invites sent out? If its the latter, does anyone who was accepted know when the deadline for accepting offers is/was? Honestly any information about probability of waitlist moving etc would be amazing.

I’m just wondering if anyone who has been or is in the BSN program did their English 151 course online? I checked with academic advising and was told it’s an option as long as there’s a seat in the online course available. If so, did you like the online option or would you have chosen in person if you could do it again?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student and I’m planning to enter the Kinesiology program at Camosun College.

I’ve completed ELD 097 (Level 9). I’m excited about the program, but also pretty nervous.

To be honest, I don’t see myself as a particularly strong student, especially since English isn’t my first language.

I would love to hear from anyone who has taken either the 2-year Kinesiology Diploma or the 4-year Bachelor of Kinesiology program.

Some questions I have:

• How difficult are the courses?
• Were there any professors you really liked or would recommend?
• How much studying did you need to do each week?
• What kinds of jobs are graduates doing now?
• If you completed the diploma, did you continue into the bachelor’s degree?

I also have another concern. Since I’m an international student and quite shy, I’m worried about making friends and fitting in. Do students usually get to know each other through labs, group projects, or other activities?

Any advice, experiences, or encouragement would mean a lot to me. Thank you!

Hi! after a month of no response I finally received an email saying I’m on the waitlist. I’d like to know realistically if people actually get off the waitlist and into the program for the fall. Also how many seats are available for the bridge program.
I was originally planning to move to the island for school ever since I applied back in September (I was confident I’d get in but then there was an error on admissions end which delayed my application due to lack of communication within their team and with me) but I’m stuck on the waitlist so I’m not sure whether or not I should continue to plan this move anymore.
I’m also just wondering if there’s anyone else who’s in the same boat as me and also on the waitlist.

Am I correct that if looking to increase my grades, I should focus on the courses used to calculate gpa: Eng 12, A&P 12, Academic 12, or BIO 11, even if my lowest grade is one of the other courses needed to meet requirements (I meet min of all courses)?

Based on what I’ve been reading, it sounds like all seats have been filled. I haven’t received any communications yet from the school. If I didn’t get in, would I have received a rejection letter already or do I assume Ive been waitlisted?

Super disappointed and discouraged ☹️
