I’m currently working on finishing most of the first year prerequisites online and am wondering if there is generally a long waitlist for getting into the dental hygiene program? I noticed instead of applying they ask you to join an interest list. Can I join this list before finishing the prerequisites? How long does it usually take to get into the program?
It's life or death.
I'm currently taking Stats 218 with Bree Wilton and was wondering if anyone who has taken her class could give advice about the final exam. Should I focus mainly on studying her previous tests, or is there a better way to review for the final? Any tips would be helpful!
Hello, I'm a high school grad student currently looking for schools in Vancouver to pursue education in Dental Hygiene is. Would you guys recommend Camosun for any reason, or specifically NOT recommend it for any reason? Thanks!
Hey guys! If any of you guys have taken the medical laboratory assistant program do you have any tips of how to get ahead before the first day of class? Anything I could look into for anatomy and physiology side of it to get a headache start? Also how did you find the clinical chemistry and math aspects of it was it difficult or basic? Thanks so much !!
Looking for a tutor for some ECET 1xx classes. Thx 😇
To the guy who stole my black hoodie from the Lansdowne gym mens washroom, your days are numbered. Run. Hide. cuz if I find you, oh boy, I will civilly ask you why you did it.
Anyone else who applied to Camosun college sonography program for 2025? I applied and I’m curious of how many people apply for each cycle, and to create a platform for DMS.
Left my headphones on the bench outside of ewing building today. This fool is sad. If you see or hear of any black sony over the ear headphones being scooped, let me knooooow. Thanks friends

I'm not sure if my post will get flagged for this but I'm hoping to get my money back as I bought this textbook out of haste and as it turns out I don't need the physical copy, I just needed the MindTap access. I wasn't aware you could just buy the access seperately. The bookstore won't take it back as it was in plastic wrap. Now I feel like I wasted my money and I'm a little tight on money at the moment, so I'm hoping to get some of it back. If anyone wants just the physical textbook lmk and we can work out a price.

I’m technically canadian but haven’t lived there for over 10 years, so I feel a bit like a foreigner. I recently enrolled in the transfer program during my withdrawal period for university however I’m having my doubts as to whether it’s a good idea due to not having a car, social circle, or knowledge of the area. I’ve missed the first week of classes already due to being indecisive about the move. Would it be difficult to study here as a foreigner? I heard it may be hard forming connections and getting around especially without a car. I’ve never visited victoria before so I have no clue what it’s like. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I got a request to withdraw from Uvic due to a low GPA and now I would like to spend one withdrawal period at Camosun, I did not get notified till yesterday morning, so I am in a hurry if I want to start the class in September.
where can I pay the deposit? it's already behind the due date, I'm afraid it will take too long before the last tuition pay date.

We will be having a tree planting event on September 28, would love to see you there!
I’m just wondering because I’m taking math classes. Depending on which prof I take, I might have 3 midterms in some classes. Do they normally send them out this week, or do we not get them until next Tuesday?
Heyo, i have adhd but have never gotten the pysco-educational evaluation done so i cant apply for cal or claim it on my student loans. So I'm curious if it is worth it to get done at this point? Will it pay for itself over my college/uni career? I'm also very much inclined to use the resources like cal and whatnot for extra time on test as I struggle with the current time limits for most tests. Currently it's about $3500-4000 to get one done.
I logged into mycamosun, went to Student Planning>My Program>Load Sample Course Plan>(Selected my enrolled program and the term(2024 fall))>Load. After the plan was generated, I want to make edits of the schedule but 1. Not all courses have a drop button 2. All spotted drop bottoms are grey don't work. I need help on this because I don't want to study chemistry or anatomy :(
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, and I have a question about student aid that I find confusing. I'm from Manitoba and moved to BC in January, completing my first semester at Camosun. I'll be starting the 2nd semester of the Engineering Bridge Program in September. I had to apply through Manitoba Student Aid because I was told I can't apply for BC Student Aid until I've lived in BC for at least a year.
Last semester, I didn't receive any grants. Manitoba Student Aid explained that since my courses run from January 2024 to April 2024 and then from September 2024 to December 2024, I'm considered a part-time student because my school's fiscal year runs from September to April. It seems strange to me.
I might be able to apply for a BC loan starting in January, but I'm unsure if I have enough information to submit to BC Student Aid right now, especially since I'm just applying for UVic at the moment. I'm also curious if I won't be eligible for any grants until September 2025, as Manitoba Student Aid suggested.
I know this is an unusual situation, but has anyone else been in a similar situation—applying for a BC loan this coming January for UVic as a non-BC resident Bridge student with a non-standard program schedule? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.
I'd love to hear about your experience.
Hi, I've a philosophy course this September PHIL 110, and I don't know what to expect from this course , what are the topics, how does the seminar works.
Thank you.
The upper parking lot at interurban is now seemingly majority staff parking only, does anyone know the reasoning for this? I get that staff need parking but did we students get shafted in the process? Did they move all the staff parking to the same parking lot or create more student parking to compensate? The number of drivers coming to the school is not going to diminish anytime soon
I’m going to be going to classes 4 days a week, with only one starting @ 8:30am. I’m wondering how chaotic parking will be - most days starting at 10:30.
Additionally. I’ll be driving out from Sooke, does anyone have an idea of how long it would take to crawl through traffic at that 8:30 class start? At least it’ll be a breeze on the later start days.
TIA
Hello all, just wondering if anyone would happen to know of any IT/networking/cyber security program thats 6 months and under long? Cheers
Hello, is there any graduate from this program who could give insights on how employment rate is like after graduation?
Thank you.
Hi! I'm not a student at Camosun but wanted to see about taking a couple courses at the college. Is there a way to view what the schedule for courses are if you are not a registered student? Ideally, I'd like to determine whether a course could fit into my schedule before paying to register as a student! Thanks so much.
Hello! My name is Sterling, I'm a student at UVic and I'll be shooting a feature film this summer/fall. I'm on the lookout for actors for a variety of roles. I'd love to get other students who, like me, are passionate and excited about creating something new, fresh and amazing together.
The movie I'm shooting is called Allure it's a queer romance/mystery film with a touch of Lovecraftian horror. It deals with themes of love, loss and the lengths we go to in protecting the ones we love. You can find more information about casting calls, props needed, the premise and more at the following link: https://sterlingwesson1.wixsite.com/alluremovie
I was wondering what people think of the Electronics & Computer Engineering Technology - Renewable Energy, Diploma program? Also, what kind of work are you doing?
I recently finished my BSc in physics from UVic. I want to get into the some sort of electronics development, I thought this might be a nice addition and a chance to get a formal education on electronics since the physics degree is focused more on theory and covers a wide range of topics. Or should I try to just into the industry with just the physics degree?
I realized I should have just done electrical engineering, my interests were different at the time I started my degree then changed towards the end lol
I appreciate any insight!
Cheers
I was just wondering if anyone here has had experience with taking upgrade courses through multiple different institutions and then transferring them to Camosun? I’ve taken both pre calc 12, and physics 11 through two different institutions, and now I’m looking at taking physics 12 through TRU online. Do they care if all my courses are coming from different schools, or do they just care if I have them and got the grade that I need?
Thanks!
Hello! I’m looking at applying to the BSN program. I’m in my late 20s and have been out of high school for 10 years and feel like I forget most things. My overall high school GPA was 88% and I did most of the pre-reqs in high school that is required for the program, however I realize that was a long time ago..
I’m hoping to apply this September 2024 for the 2025 program. I’m planning on taking BIOL 090 this summer, then BIOL 150 & 151, ENGL 151, IST 120 before September next year while working full time so in the small chance that I got in I’d have a lighter course load.
I know it’s quite competitive so I’m not sure what the likelihood would be that I’d be able to get in before having a few college level courses done with a good grade would be?
-Do they take your overall GPA from all courses on your high school transcript or just from the pre-requisite classes required from the program? -is there anything else I should/could be doing to help myself out? -has anyone been in a similar situation to myself that has some advice?
Thanks so much!!
