Student responsibility

It is each student’s sole responsibility to ensure their registration status is correct by reviewing their timetable to confirm that registration activity was successful.

StudentsÌýmust also:

• ensure they meet the prerequisite requirements for courses theyÌýwish to take;
• ensure that the selected courses are appropriate to their final goal (whether graduation or transfer);Ìý
• ensure all fees are paid by theÌýpublished deadlines;Ìý
• ensure they drop from courses theyÌýare no longer interested in taking as soon as possible, and by published deadlines; and,Ìý
• ensure that your current mailing and email addressÌýand phone numbers are on file at all times.

In addition:

• Students who do not pay their balance owing by the fee deadline may be de-registered for non-payment.
• Students who do not attend classes at the start of the term may be de-registered for nonattendance.
• Students who do not officiallyÌýdropÌýprior to theÌýadd and drop deadlinesÌýwill be required to pay all outstanding fees.Ìý
• Students with outstanding fees after the fee deadlineÌýwill receive no further service until the fees are paid.
• Students who do not officiallyÌýwithdrawÌýprior to the withdrawalÌýdeadlinesÌýwill receive the grade earned.
• Students who require advice or additional information regarding their programs during registration should consultÌýAcademic Advising.Ìý

Attendance

Attendance requirements are set by the program/school and outlined within course section syllabi. For those with mandatory attendance, students are requiredÌýto attend the first class meeting of each course. If a student doesÌýnot attend and does not contact the instructorÌýpriorÌýto the first class with a satisfactory explanation, they forfeit their seat in the course and may be de-registered.

Beyond the first class meeting, regular attendance is expected of students in all classes (including lectures, laboratories, seminars, etc.) and some programs may have specific attendance requirements. Students who are unavoidably absent because of illness or disability are expected to contact their instructor as soon as possible.

The College reserves the right to limit attendance, and to limit the registration in or to cancel or revise any of the courses listed.

Compassionate leave of absence

If there is a death of an immediate family member and a student has to be absent from classes, the student shouldÌýnotify Camosun by contacting the school offering the program or course.

Students who are unable to complete or succeed in their studies by virtue of serious and demonstrated exceptional circumstances, such as sudden/serious illness or accident, health or mental health issues, or death in the immediate family, may request aÌýmedical or compassionate withdrawal.

If a student does not attend classes and does not officially drop on or before theÌýadd and drop deadlines, he or she will be required to pay all outstanding fees, will receive no further service until the fees are paid, and may receive an "F" grade.

Full-time enrolment

A student is considered to be full-time whenÌýenrolled in at least 60% of a full course loadÌýfor their program of studies. This measure is also used to support eligibility for financial aid.

Some external agencies may set different requirements and guidelines (e.g., Canada Customs and Revenue requires students to be enrolled in a minimum of 10 hours per week).

Registration limitations

Timetable conflicts

Students may not register in classes that overlap or create time conflicts. To avoid delays at registration, students should consult the current term Academic ScheduleÌýand register in courses as soon as possible.

Maximum credits

During registration, the maximum number of credits in which a student may register is 18.0 (six course equivalents), or 22.0 for students with a cumulative GPA of greater than 6.0, unless specified by program requirements. Most courses carry a credit load of 3.0 credits; some courses carry more and some carry fewer.

Students wishing to register in more than the maximum creditsÌýallowed must obtain approval of the dean.

Duplication of registration

A student may not maintain registration in more than one section of a course offering in a term or session.

Course availability

Admission to the College and/or a program does not constitute a guarantee that a student will be able to register for any specific course in a given term.

Registration restrictions (Holds)

The College may place holds on a student’s registration privileges owing to outstanding fees, academic or non-academic offences, etc. Students should contact the Registration DepartmentÌýif they have questions about their registration hold.

Registration restrictions

Registration in some course sections may be restricted to students based on program, year of study, etc.Ìý

Registration process

myCamosun

ÉÙ¸¾Ãâ·ÑÖ±²¥ uses an online registration system calledÌý. myCamosun provides services for students to check available course offerings and timetables, establish academic plans, self-register in classes, pay fees, view grades, update personal contact information, and provides information relevant to each registration period.Ìý

Students who are required to register in courses using myCamosun will be provided access and instructions on using myCamosun prior to their first registration period.

Students who are not required to use myCamosun will be notified.Ìý

Registration deposit (non-refundable)

NoteÌýFor information onÌýInternational Student Applications, please see theÌýCamosun International website.

For each academic term, most new and continuing students are required to pay aÌý$175Ìýnon-refundable registration deposit:

• at least one week prior to their registration date; OR
• according to deadlines provided by the Registration Department to confirm acceptance into a credit program.

This registration deposit is not an additional fee. It will be applied to the total fees for that academic period.

NoteÌýPayment of a registration deposit does not guarantee entry to courses as this is dependent upon academic prerequisites and upon the availability of seats.

Registration priority

It is necessary to assign different registration dates to students according to the following guidelines:

• Registration dates, times, and groupings will be determined by the Registrar;Ìý
• Priority for continuing students may be established by number of credits successfully completed and successful academic standing;Ìý
• The college reserves the right to register new and returning students before continuing students who fail to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress;
• For most career programs, full-time students have priority for registration over part-time students.

Course requisites

Course prerequisites and corequisites must be met where applicable, and students are responsible to ensure they have met the prerequisites and corequisites for each course prior to registration.
