What Camosun College does

Camosun College is a public post-secondary institution established in 1971 under British Columbia's College and Institute Act and headquartered in Victoria, BC. It delivers certificates, diplomas, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, continuing education, and trades/apprenticeship programs across its Lansdowne and Interurban campuses, the Camosun Coastal Centre for nautical training, and a Westshore Campus currently under development. The institution serves multiple student cohorts — domestic, international, Indigenous (through the Centre for Indigenous Education & Community Connections), and working professionals — and reports over 72,000 alumni, 1,100+ graduates expected in the Class of 2026, 90% former-student satisfaction, and a 94% preparedness rate for further studies.

Revenue is derived primarily from British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training operating grants plus tuition, supplemented by ancillary fees, public-facing fee-for-service health clinics (Dental Hygiene, Massage Therapy, Athletic & Exercise Therapy), and the ProSIT (Professional Studies & Industry Training) contract-training division that delivers customized corporate programs and micro-credentials on-site or at client locations. The ProSIT division runs on the Destiny One platform, while academic delivery is supported by the D2L Brightspace LMS, the myCamosun student portal (powered by CollegeSource/PeopleSoft-style infrastructure), Modern Campus Catalog for academic calendaring, and Shibboleth-based SSO; clinics use Jane App for appointments and Microsoft Teams for remote programming.

The institution is currently expanding physical capacity through construction of a six-storey, 429-bed student housing building on the Lansdowne campus (broke ground 2026) and development of the Westshore campus, while pursuing international articulation agreements such as the November 2025 MoU with The Community Solution Education System enabling kinesiology transfer to the University of Western States' Doctor of Chiropractic program. Governance is exercised by a Board of Governors under provincial statute, with no private parent or equity ownership identified.
