I was just wondering if anyone else has taken BIOL 1593 & 1693 online with TRU ? I'm currently registered and am almost finished the readings and the study guide questions. I haven't done the online tests yet and have the final exam scheduled fo...

A few of the programs in BC have January intakes, not sure about other provinces... Check out BCIT, Langara, Kwantlen and University of the Fraser Valley. They all have different admission requirements though. What would you be applying with? Have yo...

shellbar I sent you the link :) Yeah I'm also wondering about the older editions... I guess it would really depend on the instructor. But from what I've heard from someone in the program, many people use one edition back without problems. I only bou...

Myaconnor, I PM'ed you the link :) I think I'll probably just get most of the books used because they're so expensive!

You can do the WHMIS test online, it's really easy! There's a link and instructions in one of the documents when you login to "Desire2Learn" I only signed up for the CPR HCP, I don't think you need the First Aid one

I made a Facebook group BCIT Nursing August 2014 Intake :)

Congrats Cesh, xmichelle and myaconnor !!! Chiseen, pending is better than a no, they must still be looking over your application. I hope you hear some good news soon :)

kath22 I'm not sure how many spots are left, but there must be people who have received offers from more than one school or have decided to decline their offer for other reasons. The commitment fee is due on June 5th so there will probably be more sp...

My last name starts with F so they may be going alphabetically? Hope everyone hears some good news today

Aaahhhhh I got accepted!!

Congrats shellbar!! I just checked and mine still says pending department review... Now I'll be constantly refreshing that page lol Good luck everyone!

I wouldn't say that it's impossible to get an A through the online course, however I would say that it's more difficult. It's hard to learn something like anatomy only by reading the textbook. I took only BIOL 1593 online, and I did ok but didn't get...

I can't believe your transcript got lost in the mail! Yeah I'd go pick it up too just to be sure... Yes I'm taking LIBS 7001 right now. I just got the book a few days ago so I haven't done anything yet, I should get going! Have you started? Myaconno...

Hi Cesh! Yes I just uploaded my final transript last week. Is there any way you can check how long the wait is for your transcript? 2 weeks seems like a long time! It may be worth it to get the rush transcript like Myaconnor said if your school is ba...

Well at least my application has finally changed from "insufficient" to "pending department review" I guess that's a step in the right direction lol Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer!!

Thanks for the update Cesh, that makes me feel like a whole lot more optimistic! I've been trying to prepare for the questionnaire the last few days, I'm just about to start it :S

Congrats Stephara and everyone who got short-listed! I just got the short-list email, I'm still waiting for my final grades so I wasn't expecting it yet! Also curious about how many seats they have left...

Cesh, yes I did use the book quite a bit, I'm surprised they marked it as optional! Every week we had to read a chapter or 2, then we had to answer some questions relating to the readings. Maybe if the course is taken in person the topics would be co...

Thanks Cesh, I'll just email my marks and then send the transcript when it comes. Good luck on your final!!

Inguyen, do you know how your friend sent the grade in without the transcript? Did she just email BCIT her grade? That would be great because I'm sure it'll be a couple more weeks before I get the transcript!

xmichelle, I think that last year they sent out offers mid-May, so only a few more weeks to go :) Being shortlisted doesn't guarantee a spot, I believe they shortlist many more applicants than there are seats available... They emailed me back last we...

I received that email too! Hopefully that means they'll take another look at our applications :)

tyoon, no they aren't requirements to enter the program but they need to be completed before you graduate. You'd either need to take them during your first summer or schedule them on top of an already full course load. I figured I'd just go ahead and...

xmichelle, honestly it probably would have been way more interesting to take this class in person. The book is pretty boring and I tend to understand things better when they're explained to me rather than just reading it! Yeah I'm taking 7001 online ...

Don't lose hope! I think a lot of people are in the same boat and applied with midterm grades so you never know! :) Yeah I'm taking it online, it's nice not to actually have to go to class. If you've ever taken a philisophy/ethics/critical thinking c...
