Registration

Important: Professional English Language Development (PELD) has been replaced by English for Professional and Academic Success (EPAS). EPAS is BCIT’s updated English pathway for international and domestic students.

To register, students need to:

Step 1: Send a copy of your English placement results or your academic transcript to PELD@bcit.ca to get approval to register into our courses.

Step 2: Contact the Student Information and Enrolment Services at 604-434-1610 to complete your registration and pay the fees within 2 business days.

Step 3: Visit the BCIT Bookstore to check the required textbooks and, just before the course start date, log into the Learning Hub to access the class and course materials.

Registration is on a “first come, first served” basis. Because of the high demand, we cannot hold seats for students. Students can register for multiple courses; however, students cannot take two similar courses at the same time. This is a laddered program, so in order to move up to the next level, you need to be placed in the course or pass the previous course.

Level 1 is COMM 0071, level 2 is COMM 0003, level 3 is COMM 004, and level 4 is COMM 0005 which is equivalent to English 12. Upon successful completion of level 4, students can register for BCIT or other post-secondary institutes

PELD Speaking & Listening Program

A chart that shows two different levels for the program's speaking and listening courses. Level 1 is COMM 0029 and level 2 is COMM 0030. Upon completion of COMM 0030, students can register for BCIT programs as it is equivalent to English 12 based on the speaking and listening requirements only.

There is no waiting list for PELD courses. If the course is full, please continue to check the website frequently for the most up-to-date status of the courses. To secure your seat in the course, you must email PELD@bcit.ca to get approval before the start date. If you are unable to attend the first two classes, you will lose your seat.
