You will have specific deadlines to meet for the reading assignments and learning activities. *(B)*FINAL EXAM: You will be required to take the final exam in an online environment on Friday, July 21, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Online attendance for the final exam beginning at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 9:30 p.m. is mandatory. *(C)*RECOMMENDED FOR SUCCESS: If you do not have English 12 (67%+) or IELTS 6.5+ but have English 12 (50%+) or IELTS 6.0+ or equivalent, you can instead take COMM 1106. COMM 1103 and COMM 1106 are fully equivalent/interchangeable; therefore, BCIT will allow you to switch from COMM 1103 to COMM 1106. Upon successful completion of COMM 1106, you will earn 3 credits which will be automatically applied towards your program to replace COMM 1103. *(D)*CLASS SIZE LIMIT: Once the enrolment limit has been reached (FULL), you will not be able to join this class –no capacity override. This course is offered every term, so you will also have the opportunity to take it next term. Or you can take COMM 1106.
