Frequently Asked Questions:

I am currently a BCIT Diploma student in the School of Business BUT I haven't graduated yet? Can I still apply?

Yes, if you are in the fourth term of your diploma. Your GPA will be calculated based on the first three terms. If accepted, it will be provisional on completion of your fourth term.

I have a BCIT Diploma but NOT from a Business Program. Can I get my BBA degree?

Yes, but you must first take the Business Administration Post diploma program (9 months) or the Human Resource Management Post diploma program (9 months). Then you will be subject to the regular entrance requirements.

I have a BCIT Business Diploma but do not meet the minimum GPA requirements. Can I still get a degree?

Yes, there are two options.

Option One:

BCIT has a partnership with Thompson Rivers University - Open Learning (TRU-OL). First, you would register in their degree completion program. You would then receive a "Program Plan" on that plan. Part of that plan may be fullfilled by completing the Advanced Studies in Business (ASTB) Certificate at BCIT. The courses in the ASTB are the same as the core business courses in the BCIT BBA.
NOTE: This option is only available through Part-time Studies

Option Two:

You can also consider other institutes. Each institute will have its own policy for transferability of your BCIT diploma. You will need to contact them directly.

I have a BCIT Business Diploma but I only want to do the BBA part time. Are the rules differnet?

Yes and No:

The minimum admission standard is the same whether part time or full time.

However, if you meet the standard, there is no limitation on the number of part time students that will be admitted each term.
