When searching for programs check the title to see if it’s a technology or trades/technical studies program.
Most technology programs accept and process applications during a specific time period each year. Submit your application and supporting documents as early possible within the application processing period for your program.
Most trades and technical studies programs accept and process applications throughout the year. Once these programs become full, complete applications are placed on a wait-list (first-come, first-served) for the next available seat.
Many full-time degree programs (including planned/accelerated programs), accept applications from October 1 until the program fills.
Applications are accepted and processed throughout the year. It is a good idea to complete 1 - 3 courses required for your program before submitting your program declaration application.
For many part-time degree programs, applications are accepted through Admissions and processed throughout the year.
While registration for training is accepted and processed throughout the year, it is a good idea to register early. If courses are full, you should check the training schedule regularly—if you see that a seat is available, contact Apprentice Services and BCIT will register you. Not all apprenticeships keep wait-lists; call the office to inquire.
