Re-Application
If you were accepted or applied but did not attend last year, you must submit a new application form and contact Admissions to ensure that all required documentation is still on file and complete.
NOTE: Be aware of application dates and a potential interview.
Application dates
- For Fall semester admission: October 1 to April 15.
- For Winter semester admission: November 1 to November 30.
- Late applications will be considered if space is available
Admission Interview
Should the number of qualified applicants exceed the spaces available, a selective admissions process will be used to determine admission to the BTM program. Applicants will be required to attend an interview. All interviewees will be asked the same questions. Candidates will be ranked on communication skills, motivation, understanding, and commitment to the program and this field of study.
Consider Co-op Education
In order to meet all requirements for graduation, students must have a minimum of 500 hours of documented, relevant work experience supported by industry references indicating capable performance. If this requirement is not met upon admission, it will have to be completed prior to admission to year four of the BTM.
Students have the option of completing two, four-month Co-op work terms as part of their studies in the BTM. Co-operative education is the integration of academic studies with paid work terms related to the student’s studies. There is a charge for each Co-op term and orientations to familiarize students on the Co-op option are held in September.
Meet with the BTM Coordinator
Once accepted to the BTM Degree program, students are required to plan their program with assistance from the BTM Student Coordinator. To assist you, a BTM Student Program Plan 
can be down loaded by clicking on this link, or check the navigational panel for downloads.
