Conditional Admission for High School Applicants

At Camosun, students enrolled in grade 12 in a Canadian secondary school, and working towards graduation requirements, can apply early, from September 15 to May 15, for conditional admission. 

• How: Students apply through EducationPlannerBC and ensure they indicate their current status as a high school student
• When: Current grade 12 high school students can apply from September 15 until May 15 of their grade 12 year
• Transcripts: To meet eligibility for conditional admission, official transcripts are due by May 15 and will be reviewed to determine if students meet academic program admission requirements with either final grades or course enrolment. Final official transcripts are due by July 28 and will be reviewed again to ensure final grades meet academic program admission requirements.
  • An easy way for high school students in BC to ensure we have access to their grades is to use BC's StudentTranscripts Service and select the option to allow us access for up to one year!
