register for part-time or distance & online learning courses

If you have applied to or been accepted into a full-time program, you do not need to register for courses. Accepted applicants are automatically enrolled in required courses.

Registration for Part-time Studies and Distance & Online Learning courses is done on a first-come, first-served basis.

Step one: choose your courses

You need to know what courses you want to take before you can register.

• Find your courses online, and review the course descriptions and outlines. If you are planning to register online, use the "Add to Cart" button to speed up the registration process.
• Not sure what you want to do? The Prospective Students guide can help.

Step two: meet the requirements

Many courses offered through Part-time Studies have prerequisites which are listed in the description for the course. If no prerequisite is listed in the course description, then none exists. Before registering, it is your responsibility to ensure you have completed courses or have skills and knowledge equivalent to the listed prerequisites. All Part-time Studies courses and programs are taught assuming participants have a Grade 12 level of education, including English at the Grade 12 level.

International Students: Please contact the International Student Centre (ISC) at 604-432-8816 to confirm your legal eligibility to study in Canada or questions regarding your status in Canada.

Step three: get prepared

When registering for a Part-time Studies or Distance & Online Learning course, please have the following ready:

• your student number, if you have previously been a student at BCIT
• the course reference number (CRN) or course number and name for each course you wish to take
• a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express)
• your e-mail address

Following your registration, don't forget to contact the BCIT Bookstore to order any required textbooks or course materials.
