Register for Part-time Courses

Step 1: Choose your courses

Once you know what you want to take, you can register. View key registration dates

• If you've already visited our online course catalogue and found something that you're interested in taking, proceed to the step 2 below.
• Otherwise, find your courses online, and review the course information and available offerings. If you are planning to register online, use the "Add to Cart" button to speed up the registration process.

Step 2: Meet the requirements

To be successful in BCIT's fast-paced applied learning environment, it is strongly recommended that students have English proficiency in all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. English requirements are program-specific. Find your program online and refer to the program entry details.

If your course or program does not have a specific English requirement, two years of education in English in an English-speaking country and English 12 are strongly recommended for success.

Many courses offered through part-time studies have prerequisites that are listed in the course description. Before registering, ensure you have completed the necessary courses or have the skills and knowledge equivalent to the listed prerequisites. Some courses may require department approval prior to registering (see the course description).
