From state-of-the-art recreation services, to accessibility services for students with acute or chronic health issues, in-person or virtual counselling appointments, and resources that help students de-stress, BCIT has student well-being front-of-mind. Make use of the many health and wellness supports that are available to you during your time at BCIT.
Accessibility Services
Our focus at Accessibility Services is to empower you to overcome the limits and barriers that you encounter during your studies as a result of a disability, whether visible, invisible, permanent, or temporary. Whether you need exam accommodation, a quiet place to recharge, or adaptive technology to help you learn due to a disability or ongoing medical condition, Accessibility Services is here for you. Visit our website to find out how to register with us.
Counselling & Student Development
It’s important to take care of your mental health. Free and confidential one-on-one counseling is available to all BCIT students, full-time and part-time. Seeking support to overcome personal and professional challenges will help you thrive in school and in life. Whatever you’re facing, our counsellors are here to help.
In addition to in-person appointments, BCIT’s Counselling and Student Development team will continue to offer telephone and video appointments to all students. Please call 604-432-8608 to book an appointment.
For mental health resources that you may find helpful during this challenging time, visit Mental Health at Home.
