Rapid advances in technology have increased public expectations of their communities and the buildings constructed in them. Buildings are expected to be designed and constructed to rigorous standards of workmanship and safety while at the same time incorporating all the features that contribute to speed of erection, financial efficiency and user satisfaction.

High public expectations and the dynamic nature of the industry present both a challenge and an opportunity, attractive criteria for any career.

A student who fails or withdraws from one to three courses in a specific term may be required to move from "set" registration to course-by-course registration. In these cases, the student will be notified by email at the end of the term in which the failures or withdrawals occurred. Students will be required to meet with their program head during the first week of the following term to create an approved registration plan.

Students on "set" registration will be given first priority for course placement; students who are registering on a course-by-course basis and who are registering for at least 60% of a standard term course load will be given second priority; and students registering course-by-course with less than 60% of a standard term course load will be given third priority for course placement.

A student who fails or withdraws from four or more courses in any one term will be required to withdraw from the program. Prior to applying for re-admission, the student must complete the failed course(s) successfully through BCIT Part-time Studies or through an alternate route approved in writing by the program head. Completion of the missing course(s) does not guarantee re-acceptance into the program.

A student who fails to complete a first-year course for a second time may be required to withdraw from the program for a period of one academic year. Prior to applying for re-admission the student must complete the failed course successfully through BCIT Part-time Studies or through a program head-approved alternate route. Completion of the missing course does not guarantee re-admission to the program.

A student who fails to complete a second-year course for a second time will be required to enter into a re-admission contract with the program head. This contract may require the student to repeat prerequisite courses, even if they had previously been completed successfully, prior to a third and final attempt to complete the course.
