Verified student outcomes

Outcome score 27/100

  1. Graduate employment
    78%: graduate employment
    scaled within the 78-90% range across the 9 peers that publish it → 0/100, weighted 73%

Transparency

Partial · 34/100

How openly Camosun College publishes the data families need, keeps it current, and links it to an official source. We score whether the data exists, not the results themselves. Each signal's source and its share of the 34/100 are shown below.

Transparency score34/100

We score whether the data EXISTS and is sourced, not the results themselves. A school is never penalized here for a low outcome, only for not publishing one.

v1 scores objective, automatically-checkable signals. Editorial clarity assessments (admission rubric, website, policies), grounded in Camosun College's own pages and human-reviewed before publishing, are being added.

Sources & citations

We cite every figure on this page. 3 of 4 stats currently link to a verified official source; the rest are marked Unverified until we confirm them against an official page. We never invent a citation to fill the gap.

  • Sourced. Backed by an official page we have verified: the figure appears on that page; follow the link to see it.
  • Official dataset. From an official government dataset whose per-institution figures are only available through an interactive lookup tool. The number isn't printed on a single page, so we link the dataset and state its name and year.
  • Estimate. Our editorial estimate. The school doesn't publish a single admission average, so treat this as approximate (competitive programs often run higher).
  • Computed by us. A value we calculate under our published, versioned methodology.
  • Editorial. Our own written summary. Confirm specifics on the school's official site.
  • Public info. A stable, publicly-known descriptor (campus type, residence, co-op, founding year), not a contestable statistic.
  • Unverified. A figure we state but haven't yet confirmed on an official page. We never fabricate a citation to fill the gap.
Data freshnessLast checked July 3, 2026

An automated checker re-verifies every official source on this page on a daily schedule. If a source page moves, breaks, or changes, it's flagged and the figure is held out of our rankings until it's re-confirmed against the official page.
