Upcoming courses

Online courses

Important deadlines!

Registration for fall and spring term courses is open, with the following deadlines:

  • For September - December online courses: July 25, 2020
  • For January-April online courses: Nov. 28, 2020

Why are registration deadlines important?

Because we must meet minimum registration numbers to proceed with offering a course, we assess registration numbers six weeks before the course start date. If we meet minimum registration numbers, we will proceed with offering the course and will continue to allow registrations until the course start date, space permitting. If we do not meet minimum registration numbers, we may need to look at cancelling or rescheduling the course. This is why it’s always best to register early so that we can have accurate registration numbers and can avoid disappointment!

Please check the upcoming course schedule for the most up-to-date course registration deadlines.

Instructor interview

Instructor Robert Epp teaches our Museum Principles and Practices I and Museum Principles and Practices II:

Why is cultural heritage important to you?

 Cultural resources, like museums, heritage sites and historic buildings, tell us a lot about who we are as a society and our values. By properly managing cultural resources we are, in effect, looking after our history and identity. As the German Conceptual artist Hans Haacke has said: “Museums are managers of consciousness. They give us an interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves in it.” In that way cultural resources also serve as important educational institutions that should be preserved and protected...

Practicum updates

Odessa Corletto, graduate, CRM program
Practicum at the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC

"Choosing to take my last course of the CRM diploma as a practicum was the right decision for me; it was a great educational experience and I made contacts that may be beneficial in my future career. I found it valuable to make real-world connections to the theories and practices I had learned about in my CRM courses.”New knowledge learned included, most significantly, the experience of collaboration and work processes within the museum environment, as well as community engagement with contacts at the local First Nation Research Centre."

If you are interested in setting up a practicum for the Spring 2021 term, contact crmcoord@uvic.ca.
