Short-Stay & Apprentice Housing

COVID-19 update

BCIT Student Housing has had to adapt to meet the changing demands presented by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. For this reason we have implemented a number of changes to our services. One such change has been a significant reduction in our occupancy and the frequency of occupancy changes per suite. These changes to support health and safety have resulted in the need for us to temporarily suspend all short-term housing reservations and applications for accommodation between August – December 2020.

Notification Waitlist

This decision is necessary to temporarily address the current COVID-19 public health guidelines. We will continually monitor the situation and reassess as needed. If you would like to be contacted in the case of any future availability, please email housing@bcit.ca with full name, student number, phone number, program name and level, program start date, program end date, and request to be added to our notification waitlist.
