write PLAR exams will be responsible for the cost of the exams.

completed. Please complete the Course By Course Self-Assessment form. When making comparisons,
please base your comparison on the course descriptions, learning outcomes and topics covered and
not on the similarity of course titles. Generally, to qualify for equivalent credit, the equivalent course
or courses must have been completed within five years, have an 80% or more commonality in the
topics covered at a level that is comparable or higher, and with a grade that is 65% or higher.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I apply?


It is recommended that students apply when they have met all of the entrance requirements. If you are currently
registered in a course(s), please indicate on the self-assessment form. However, if you have then missed the
assessment period, you will need to reapply for the following term.

What will happen if I don’t receive credit for all courses in the preceding term(s)?
The program may suggest BCIT part-time studies courses that need to be completed prior to term start. In some
circumstances, the program may identify courses that can be taken concurrently. Most students are required to
make up one or more courses.

Can I appeal the assessment of equivalency?


Applicants may appeal in writing. They should be prepared to supply additional information or clarification to their
original submission. You have 10-days to accept or appeal (in writing) the ‘Second Assessment’ that you receive by
email.

What will happen if I cannot complete all required courses before the term starts?
All courses must be completed prior to term start unless the program has identified a course that can be taken
concurrently or can be deferred until a later term.

When will I be accepted?


Once your application has been assessed and has been approved for direct entry, a seat must become available in
the program you have selected. The Admissions department must wait until the current students in most
programs write their exams in either January or May to determine how many seats will become available for
direct entry applicants. It is likely that you will not know if you have a seat or not until about one week prior to
term start.

When will I get my timetable?


Print your timetable one day prior to class start by logging into my.bcit.ca and going to Student Self-Service. You
must be registered in your courses in order to access this feature.

When can I buy my books?


It is recommended that students wait until the first week of classes before buying textbooks. Your instructors will
tell you which books to buy.
