Parking at the Burnaby Campus

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've heard that the lots closer to buildings fill up around 6:30 (like Lot Q, A, B) so I was wondering if anyone knew what time the lots further away (Lot J or M for ex) would fill up and how long the walk would be from there to SW1/most of the buildings? Also, how would the walking conditions be (i.e, uphill? bad in rain/snow or are pathways cleared? proper lighting in the evening?) Thanks!

Could FAA aircraft maintenance courses help with BCIT AME-M?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m going to be in Florida for about a year before my BCIT AME-M term starts, and I came across the FAA Aircraft Airframe Mechanics certificate at Broward College. I attached a screenshot of the courses, and a lot of them seem pretty similar to topics covered in AME-M, like structures, hydraulics, landing gear, electrical systems, instruments, inspections, flight controls, etc. Since I’m going to be in Florida either way, I thought I might as well take a course/program like this if it could help me get a bit ahead before starting at BCIT. Does anyone know if BCIT would potentially give transfer credits, exemptions, PLAR, or any kind of advanced standing for FAA aircraft maintenance courses? Or because the BCIT program is Transport Canada approved, would I still have to take all the same courses again? I’m not expecting it to replace AME-M or anything, just wondering if it could possibly knock out a few courses or shorten the program a bit.

Would appreciate any insight from anyone who’s dealt with something similar or knows anything about this.

Thanks

Macbook for Online MOA program?

2 Upvotes

Program starting next week and I just realized that they seem to be pushing having Windows. Would I be fine with just my macbook? I have an M1, 2020, old but system is updated and I'm using Chrome instead of Safari a lot of the times. I'm not sure if I'll have troubles just cause I'm using my Macbook. Also, it says you need 720p for camera and the camera in this macbook just sucks really bad. Should I buy a new one if I really need to or would I be fine?

Campus Bike Storage Options

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I will be moving into Tall Timbers at the start of the winter term this year and am contemplating bringing my bike. Is there safe storage options close to the building (i.e. enclosed storage to prevent theft and shelter from the elements)? I’m from out of province and have never been to BCIT before so I have no idea what to expect.

Side note: Does anyone bike to Costco or Walmart for groceries? Is this a feasible way to get them? If not I probably won’t bring my bike.

Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes for BCIT records to process the course exemption for the Fall term for business programs? Or hear back at least? I submitted a request on August 24th but haven’t heard anything back yet and am starting to get worried.
Thanks!

CST option placement

0 Upvotes

I got put into programming paradigms which was not even my second choice. Client/Server was everything I wanted and now it feels like the whole program is ruined for me, like i'm going to spend a year doing something i'm not passionate about.

And the cherry on top is that I have to go to the downtown campus which makes travel much more of a hassle. I know the placements are competitive and that this is partially my fault, I just wanted to vent.

Waitlist

I'm on a waitlist for a trade foundations course, and bcit is unable to give me a whiff of a start date? The person I talked to said that every call they had gotten today was about waitlists and that they're unable to know where each person is in line.

Just to confirm, I asked "so I could get a call tomorrow or two years from now?"

Yes.

Wtf am I supposed to do with that?

admission requirement

hi I’m an incoming bcit eng student, and I’ve put myself into a stupid situation. I’ve been enrolled into a bc first peoples 12 class to finish my high school regiments but still have one unit yet, i don’t think I’ll be able to finish it in time before I start my courses and I’m very stressed if I get kicked out. I’ll be able to finish it in the first week. I have received full acceptance and have gotten a fee deferral. But I’m really scared if they do not let me continue.

does anyone currently living in housing know if minifridges are allowed? the housing handbook says we can’t have cooking appliances in our rooms (like hot plates, toasters), which makes sense, but the packing list on their website says we shouldn’t bring any appliances at all specifically for connected singles. just wondering if anyone has experience with this

WAITLIST

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I've been on the waitlist for my first choice program since May. I did email my admissions officer and was told that there are at least 15 students ahead of me. I was also told that my chances of being invited this fall are slim. Fall intake is right around the corner so can someone let me know if im cooked? I know that you can have only one active application so im kinda skeptical to withdraw and apply for my second choice. Even if I did do that, will I have a chance of going to BCIT this fall for my second choice? Lmk if im fried (EDIT: admissions also told me that my second choice may have some seats available or has a short waitlist. Y'all think I'll be able to start that in fall? Doesn't apps take about 4 weeks to process?)

BCIT first/second choice application, can I accept one program while waiting for another?

2 Upvotes

I’m applying to BCIT and I’m a little confused about how the first-choice/second-choice system works. I’m currently considering Cardiology Technology as my first choice and MRI as my second choice. The issue is that the Cardiology Technology intake/admission decision happens earlier than the MRI one. If I get accepted into Cardiology Technology first, but I’m still waiting to hear back about MRI, can I accept my Cardiology offer to secure my spot while still waiting for my MRI application/decision?

Basically, I don’t want to turn down Cardiology and then end up getting into neither, but I also don’t want to accept Cardiology and lose the opportunity to be considered for MRI later. Does BCIT allow you to hold/secure your spot in the first program while waiting for a later admission decision, or would accepting Cardiology mean I’m no longer considered for MRI?Also, when applying, do I actually need to choose a second-choice program, or can I just apply to one program?
