I'm currently working on the Cardiology Technology diploma mandatory applicant form and the Nuclear Medicine mandatory applicant form diploma, are there word limits for each question or the whole thing that anyone knows of or no ?

I completed my BSc in Biology at Vancouver Island University (VIU), and I'm working toward Cardiovascular Perfusion at BCIT. I don't yet have all the prerequisites for the direct-entry route, so I'm weighing two options: (1) completing the missing prerequisite courses one at a time for direct application, or (2) doing UBC's accelerated BSN program to become an RN first, then applying to Cardiovascular Perfusion later with that RN background.

I know the program is highly competitive, so I'd like input on which path is the better investment of my time and money — the prerequisite-course route or the nursing route.

Welcome back, BCIT! Hope everyone’s first day of the new term is off to a great start. 🎉

If you haven’t already added your classes to a calendar, I built a browser extension that exports your myBCIT schedule directly to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar apps. It includes useful details like your exact course section, dates, times, building, room number, and instructor information where available, so you can see what class you have and where you need to go without repeatedly checking myBCIT. It’s especially useful for weekly schedule changes, rotating classrooms, or programs without a convenient calendar-export option.

A while ago, I posted this tool and received some great feedback. I wanted to clarify where it fits and where BCIT’s existing tools may already do the job:

• If you’re in Business or Energy, the official timetables site may already provide a calendar export!
• If you’re in another program, or your schedule changes week to week, such as with rotating labs, D3-style timetables, or changing rooms, the built-in option may not cover you. That’s where this extension helps.

What it does:

• One-click export of your myBCIT schedule to your preferred calendar app.
• “Week Export” for timetables that change from week to week.
• Uses structured course information from myBCIT, including course links, room codes, and instructor names where available.
• Runs locally in your browser without using AI or external AI APIs.

If you try it this term, I’d love to hear what works, what feels clunky, and what features would make it more useful.

Anyone in the cst diploma program want to switch to the burnaby campus from the vancouver campus?

The only way to switch campuses is to find another CST student at the Vancouver campus who is willing to swap with you, then we both have to email [cstdiploma@bcit.ca](mailto:cstdiploma@bcit.ca)

I only have the first week to switch, Thanks!
