External Students

Our Test Centre locations offer testing and invigilation services for students attending other colleges and universities as well as BCIT distance education students requiring a proctored exam outside of their scheduled exam sessions.

On-line registration and payment system!

Please select "Register Now" to book your exam on-line through our registration and payment system! Once you have completed the registration portion of your exam booking you will be directed to an external site where you will pay for your exam session on-line via MasterCard or Visa (only) on-line.

Fees

Rate change notification! As of June 1, 2017 our invigilation fee for exams that are scheduled for 3 hours or less will be $50 for all days and times including Saturdays.

There is a non-refundable, non-transferable invigilation fee of $50 for exams that are scheduled for 3 hours or less including Saturdays and evenings. If your home institution has allowed a maximum writing time in excess of three hours, an additional charge of $10 per hour (or part thereof) will be added to the invigilation fee.

If you would like your exam to be returned via courier and it is not already paid for by your home institution additional fees will apply based on the courier destination.  Please be aware that this is non-refundable if paid for in error.

Please note:

• Once the maximum number of students per session is reached, exam dates and/or times will no longer be available.
• You should have your home institution's contact information with you before you begin registering for your exam session.
• Once you have completed the registration portion you will be directed to an external site where you will pay for your exam session on-line via credit card (only).
• You will then receive a confirmation email with an attachment which will include BCIT's invigilation consent form. This form will be accepted by most institutions that require a signed proctor or invigilation consent form.  Please do not bring this to your exam session.
• Bring to your exam session valid picture id as well as the items that are permitted by your home institution. 
• Arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your exam session.
• Exams will not be released if you have not arrived in time to receive the full time allotted for your exam.
