** IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ CAREFULLY AND READ IN FULL BEFORE REGISTERING ** This course will be delivered in a Hybrid format. All Tuesday and Thursday classes will be held in person at the Burnaby campus; all Monday and Wednesday and Friday **** classes will be held online via Learning Hub (learn.bcit.ca). Students do not need to be physically on campus for the online classes; a computer with access to the internet is required. A detailed term schedule will be discussed during the first class. It is important that students sign in to their myBCIT account and the Learning Hub PRIOR to the course start date to review any messages the course instructor may have posted. Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents are exempt from payment of the TUITION portion ($698.17) of this course. If you are registering through the online system and are exempt from payment of the TUITION portion ($698.17) your account will be adjusted within 2 business days after registration. ANCILLARY fees associated with registration in this course WILL BE CHARGED to ALL students and MUST BE PAID by ALL students. Students need to log in to their myBCIT account upon registration to make payment for the ANCILLARY fees. THIS PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO SECURE A SEAT IN THE COURSE. Non-payment upon registration will result in the student being dropped from the course without prior notice therefore it is the STUDENT's responsibility to ensure that fees owing are paid on time. 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 pts 202220 term. **** There is no class on Stat Holiday Friday July 1st.
