BCIT August 2013 Applicants

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Hello future nurses,

I am so excited to be starting nursing at BCIT in August!

For future applicants: To have a strong application make sure you have work experience, volunteer experience (preferably healthcare), as well as liberal arts courses - my Psych 241 at SFU transferred over as a libs course and I will find out if any other courses of mine transfer over once I send them an updated transcript.

I am going to be going in with a completed BSc in Kinesiology and Psychology, but a full degree is not necessary, just at least 60 credits to be competitive!

Anyone else defer to August?

Specializes in Cardiac Care.

lnguyen,

I sent my resume, highschool transcripts, and post-secondary transcripts together by mail. BCIT only accepts transcripts mailed directly to them (as I was told via e-mail when I was confused as well).

Good luck!!

you can hand it all in - in person if the transcripts are in sealed envelopes from the post secondary institutions.

I would recommend doing it in person because then you know they have recieved it for sure.

thank you for the responses :)

Hi there could someone please help me again so I'm confused about when I would hand in my documents it says ...Applicants must complete all academic requirements and submit a current resume before the application deadline.But then application deadline is the 15th but to hand in documents is in jan .. So do I have to hand in my resume before the 15th? And my highschool transcript is not sealed is that ok? I tried emailing on the bcit website but they say that due to high volumes of mail it may take a while til they respond and the 'application deadline is the end of this week ! Thanks

hay Inguyen, you have to hand in a sealed high school transcript, sealed post-secondary transcript, resume, cover letter (if you want to increase your chances) by the deadline. There will be a 60$ fee or something like that (I can't remember) when you hand in your stuff. Other documents like references are after you have been short-listed. Then later than that are criminal record check and immunizations etc.

Thanks iheartpurple very helpful so when should I hand it in? The deadline is dec 15th or jan 31?

Well, I don't know august deadlines, but looking on the website I would go with dec 15! That is when the actual application is due. If you need to wait for any grades, official transcripts and whatnot are due by the 31st of jan. have you already accessed the application? It even has a checklist on it.. I'll attach it to here since it is a public document on the BCIT website

I have already applied online but was wondering if I had to hand in my resume first before application deadline or can I hand it altogether with my official transcripts.

i believe it can be handed in with everything else! Have you read through the January 2013 thread?

You have to hand everything in by January 31st.

I have a question - Should I get my liberal studies classes assessed for transfer before I even get into the program? Or will they see on my transcript that I have two that qualify?
