BCIT wants to see each of you achieve your academic goals. We have many learning resources in place to support you in succeeding with your academic course work – take advantage of our academic and learning services to find helpful study tools and develop new learning strategies.
Accessibility Services
Our focus at Accessibility Services is to empower you to overcome the limits and barriers that you encounter during your studies as a result of a disability, whether visible, invisible, permanent, or temporary. Whether you need exam accommodation, a quiet place to recharge, or adaptive technology to help you learn due to a disability or ongoing medical condition, Accessibility Services is here for you. Visit our website to find out how to register with us.
Learning Commons
Work on some learning strategies with a peer tutor, or strengthen your study skills at a seminar. The Learning Commons offers peer tutoring, the Writing Centre, and workshops and tutorials to assist you in achieving your academic goals. Writing assistance is also available through WriteAway.
Library
The BCIT Library is home to many helpful resources. Speak with a librarian for research assistance, drop-in to MediaWorks for all your self-service production needs, or visit the ehPod, a 24/7 computer lab on the Burnaby Campus.
For help with online research and evaluating information, citing sources, and finding or using library resources, chat with the BCIT library at askaway.org. The online chat is free, and available 7 days a week.
