^yeah I emailed them and and my deferral got approved! Though I got my disbursement details from StudentAidBC and it's JUST enough to cover tuition.. looks like I'll have to find a different way to pay for books/uniform etc

^That's good to know! I emailed financial aid anyway... So the January 2014 Cohort Student Information finally popped up on my D2L! I'm getting so anxious/nervous/excited!!

Thank you! It doesn't say anything... I faxed in my deferral last Friday as well.. I applied for student loans on the 29th of Oct but it says they have received my declaration yet. I guess I'll just have to wait it out. I emailed bcit explaining my situation... I really hope I don't get charged any late fees

Hmm I'm definitely not seeing this link... there is just a list of courses but none that link me to anywhere..

Did you get an email saying your fee deferral was approved or did you have to contact them?

Oh. I was under the impression we don't need to register? I thought we were just going to be given a schedule?

Yes. If you're paying by credit card, I'm assuming it'll take you to a page where you'll have to provide your credit card # etc. If you're paying through your bank (i.e. your chequing account), then you'll have to go through the steps in post#174.

You can pay through your bank online. Just add BCIT-Tuition as one of your payees and the "account number" will be your student ID (A00xxxxxx) and then pay bills as you normally would :)

Have any of you filled out the immunization form yet? What if we don't have our records? Can we just go to the clinic to get a titer test?

For people already in the program: this might be a silly question but how much stuff do you need to bring to class/clinical? Are we expected to bring our textbooks with us? Are laptops necessary? Also, what is student parking like at BCIT?

Yup! As soon as you "create a new application", choose "2013/2014 - for classes with start dates b/w Aug 1 2013 - July 31 2014" and then specify the school and program, it'll give you an application number that starts with 2013xxxxxx :)

^I applied today for student loans.. On the tuition deferral application, it says you need your student loan application number and you also need to have paid the commitment fee. Technically, your student loan needs to be approved but how the department expects it to go through within 5-6 business days, I have no idea. I figure as long as I provide them with the number, pay my $200 and keep them updated, it'll be fine.

I don't know what it costs exactly but the letter we got when short-listed says: "approximately $3200 (plus Upass fees of $30 per month)" and "additional Level 1 expenses are estimated to be $2000 and include: textbooks, supplies (e.g. uniforms, shoes, stethoscope), CPR and Fit Test certifications and copying."

Oh duh haha I'm obviously blind! Thanks!

So for those of us who don't have all the tuition money upfront, do we send the nursing department our student loan application #?
