- International Fees
International fees are typically three times the amount of domestic fees. Exact cost will be calculated upon completion of registration.
Course details
This course meets the Physics 11 entrance requirement for BCIT programs. It is the student's responsibility to determine the grade they need to meet the requirement for their desired technology. This course offers an introduction to Physics and its basic principles. Emphasis is placed on good problem solving techniques and practical applications relevant to BCIT. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, equilibrium, energy, fluids, heat, electrostatics and direct current circuits. IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ PRIOR TO REGISTERING: This course serves as an upgrade course specifically for entry into BCIT programs and is not necessarily recognized as a Grade 11 or 12 equivalent by other institutions.

** IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ CAREFULLY AND READ IN FULL BEFORE REGISTERING ** This is a hybrid course with Monday classes in-person at Burnaby campus and Wednesday classes online. All labs and exams will be in-person on Mondays. Classes will be held online asynchronously on Stat holidays October 2, 9 and November 13. A computer with access to the internet is required. The course instructor will communicate with students through BCIT's Learning Hub therefore it is important that students sign on to the Learning Hub prior to the course start date to review any messages he may have posted. Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents are exempt from payment of the TUITION portion of this course. If you are registering through the online system and are exempt from payment of the TUITION portion, your account will be adjusted within 2 business days after registration. The ANCILLARY fees associated with registration in this course WILL BE CHARGED to ALL students and MUST BE PAID BY ALL STUDENTS AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION - students need to log into their my.bcit.ca account to make payment. THIS PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO SECURE A SEAT IN THE COURSE. Non-payment at the time of registration will result in the student being dropped from the course without prior notice therefore it is the STUDENT's responsibility to ensure this payment is made. Any student who withdraws from the course AFTER it has begun will not be permitted to re-register and re-join the learning activities this term.
