BCIT August 2013 Applicants

I just thought that I had to hand in my high school trans and resume by the end of this week and I haven't ordered a sealed transcript yet.

You dont have to hand in your resume by the end of the week, the document deadline is January 31st.

Applications for the August intake will be accepted from:

October 1 of the previous year until December 15*

The application deadline is December 15. No applications can be accepted after this date. The deadline for completion of all academic prerequisites and submission of all documentation is January 31*

Note: Applications are considered for a specific intake. This program does not carry a wait list into the next intake.

*Or next business day

The document deadline is actually January 31st. I was told via e-mail when I was inquiring for you all :). Good luck everyone!

Did you guys check the new outline for 2014 intake? They don't need to take those electives except for the two libs courses!!! So nice!!!

@memegumi - For the January 2014 intake and onwards first year Psychology, English and Anatomy and Physiology are part of the academic requirements to get into the program. So instead of completing them in the program they have to be done before.

The only course that those accepted in 2014 don't have to take is HLED 7120 Canadian Health System.

I've heard that HLED 7120 is quite difficult so I consider the 2014 students lucky!

@smokeytabooThanks for the clarification :)

Hi guys,

I'm taking the 6 credit Human Anatomy and Physiology online at Athabasca University. I must say there's a lot to learn but I would highly recommened students taking this course before getting into the program just so you wil have a stronger knowledge of science in general. The only downfall is that the course itself was $1250, it's very expensive...The course consists of 3 quizzes online, 3 assignments and 3 exams. I already did the first quiz and assignment, and it's going great:) I really want to complete it before August of 2013.

You can also look at the UBS transfer credit guide or look at Thompson University for this course, I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there...and there is a rumour that BCIT will soon launch a new A&P course, but I wouldn't wait!

But on an important note, students will definitely benefit from this course and this is part of the reason why BCIT's nursing has made it part of it's requirement; because students who entered the program w/o science knowledge had very hard time in the nursing science courses.

I'm 22 years old, applied with 141 credits which includes a psychology degree, a bunch of volunteer and work experience not directly related to health care, and an A&P course taken at a private school. I applied on the last day December 14. Anyone receive any news whether they've been accepted or not?

If I remember correctly, you don't hear back until early April if shortlisted and then Late April if you're accepted. Long way to go yet.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! I wish you all the very best!!! I have a feeling 2013 will be an awesome year:)

Hey everyone!!

I'll be starting in August as well!

As for when you will hear anything, it wont be til mid March to the very last week and the 1st week of April which is just the short listing and such and then later on you'll hear stuff after getting references in so another 2-3 weeks afterwards too.

Good Luck to you all!

I got on top of the holdlist for Jan 2013 but guaranteed for August, and it was my 2nd time applying.

I hold a BSc in Psychology from UBCO and thats all I had the first time applying with volunteer and such but the 2nd time applying I made sure I was taking the LIBS 7001&7002 classes. My grades weren't the greatest but I got in so you still got a great chance even if your average is say
