BCIT faculty and staff regularly evaluate courses and programs for quality and relevance. Individual program performance measures or resource requirements, in addition to changes to the Institute’s educational mandate, educational priorities, planning requirements, or resource allocation may necessitate the suspension or cancellation of certain programs. This process is guided by Policy 5405 Program Suspension and Cancellation and the associated procedure, which provides an orderly, consultative, and transparent process by which the Institute determines the need for program suspension or cancellation. Program areas are advised to consult with the Academic Planning and Quality Assurance Office for guidance on the process.
