High School Students

As someone entering BCIT from high school you have several different ways to become a BCIT Student.

Full-time Studies

If you’re currently in high school, arrange to have your final official transcript sent directly to BCIT when you graduate. Also make sure to submit the following:

• the marks for courses you have completed
• interim marks for courses you are attending
• a list of courses you plan to take in the future.

Once you are accepted into a full-time program, you are automatically registered for all your courses hassle-free.

Part-time Studies

Take a single course, or work towards a diploma, certificate or degree — all at a pace that's right for you.

Part-time courses are offered at night or on weekends, or you can opt for distance or online learning. If you meet the prerequisites and there’s space available, you can register for a course immediately.

Dual Credit Programs

Dual credit programs allow you to take BCIT programs while still in high school. When you complete the program you receive a BCIT credential as well as credits towards your Dogwood and credit for apprenticeship training.

For information about dual credit opportunities in your school district talk to your high school career transition coordinator or counsellor.
