Refund Message for Students – June 10, 2020

BCIT appreciates that these last few weeks have been challenging for students as we worked to transition to primarily online delivery of our programs. We are grateful for the patience our students have shown during this period of uncertainty as we work to make the necessary decisions.

Instructors are doing everything possible to support students in completing courses and programs delivered online. To clarify a question that has been asked, BCIT will not issue pro-rated tuition or ancillary fee refunds. Where instruction continues for a course or program in a modified format, students who remain enrolled will ultimately be able to meet their course outcomes or program requirements.

In response to recent developments regarding COVID-19, BCIT has temporarily amended its refunds and withdrawals policy, effective March 19, 2020 as follows.

Full-Time Programs in the Spring/Summer 2020 Term

Students have an option to request a full refund. The deadline for requesting a full refund is before the class start date.

Full-Time Programs in the Fall 2020 Term

For new students – If students have paid a commitment fee for a full-time program and no longer wants to enrol due to the changes in learning modes, they can request a refund of that fee. The request must be received prior to the fee payment deadline date of 60 days prior to program start. Please refer to your program start date to determine deadline.
