What it costs
Camosun’s most recent published international rates are for 2024/25 (from September 2024). For most Arts & Science, Business and University Transfer programs, tuition per 14-week term was:
| Course load | Tuition per term (2024/25) |
|---|---|
| 3 courses | $5,868 |
| 4 courses | $7,042 |
| 5 courses | $8,216 |
| 6 courses | $9,390 |
Camosun has since approved increases for international tuition, so expect current rates to be higher. Use the college’s current fee pages when preparing your proof of funds.
Deposits
In 2024/25 Camosun asked for a tuition deposit of $17,100 for seated programs and $9,500 for open programs, applied to your tuition. Confirm the current amount in your offer letter.
PAL and study permits
Most Camosun programs require a Provincial Attestation Letter, issued after you accept your offer. If you plan to stay and work after graduating, read the PGWP rules — non-degree college programs need CLB 5 and, for many students, an eligible field of study.
