Application Process
Applicants should apply as early in the application processing period as possible
- So Grade 12’s should be applying NOW
- This is due to some programs having waitlists, and as soon as a student applies, they get placed on the Program Wait List
Current high-school students can get their name on the wait-list early (while still in grades 11 or 12) by writing and successfully completing the BCIT trades pre-test
- Attend an info session to find out what program is looking for in an applicant
- Aim to exceed the minimum academic requirements. Achieving slightly higher grades in one or two required subjects or taking additional related courses can enhance an application
- Include a resumé listing volunteer or work experience with his or her application
- In his or her letter of intent, report any career and industry research undertaken. Showing knowledge of a chosen field or area of study can enhance an application
BCIT DOES NOT use the “Apply BC” website (the one that majority of other BC Post-Secondary Institutions use), but they use their own: https://secure.bcit.ca/sis/apply/
Application Fee: $60 (domestic) $125 (international)
