The fee will be used for services and programs led by the college’s Student Services department. According to the the college meeting agenda, the fees will go toward, among other things, “services and programs related to the physical and psychological health and well-being of students,” “social, recreational, and cultural activities and programs,” academic and career planning, learning supports, campus life and engagement, and financial aid and awards.

The college has been working on the fee details with the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS), who, according to the agenda, will receive six percent of the total fees collected each fiscal year to go toward existing CCSS programs that are in line with the new fee’s objectives.
