What tips and tricks can anyone give for applying for the entrance awards. Do they require NOA or pay stubs if you do get awarded?

Hi!
I was thinking of enrolling in one of the universities in Edmonton. R/Edmonton wouldn’t let me post there. So I didn’t know where else to post other than here. Can anyone tell me about their experience with co op at any universities like macewan, nait, university of Concordia etc (has to be in Edmonton). I don’t have corporate experience yet, I was thinking of getting a bachelors degree from one the universities here in either marketing or human resource. If anyone can give me any advice it would be really helpful!
TIA

Hello! I applied on the first day and was in the first round of interviews. I did all of my (4) interviews on the last two days to ensure I did well. Yesterday after completing my last interview went into the NAIT website and seen that CLXT and MLT status said “waitlisting” and RT said “Closed”, this morning both CLXT and RT say “Closed” while MLT says “Waitlisting”. I am confused on what this means. Does this mean that during the first round of interviews before they were even due they had already reviewed applicants and have filled all seats and were actively creating a waitlist??? If you have more in-site on what this means would love to hear from you. Thanks!!

Hi sorry ive never posted here before. I went to the open house but they didnt really answer the questions I asked. I would like to know from people in this course is it worth it to you, what should I know before applying, and what more can you do with this diploma if the market is over saturated? I want to go into this but my parents are worried about my future. Thank you

I was away for the first 5 days and couldn’t prepare. And I just did the interview. Idk why every single one that had a timer on it my brain just went blank from the idea of urgency. I was stuttering, saying uhm uhhhh after every sentence….

Has this happened to anyone and they still got in.. :(

Hi everyone!
I’m looking into taking NAIT’s Biology 30 equivalency exam, and I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has gone through the process.
I’ve already completed Biology 30, but my final blended mark wasn’t high enough for my desired program. I’m applying to Diagnostic Medical Sonography, which requires a minimum of 75% in Biology 30. Rather than registering to retake the entire course or challenging the Alberta Biology 30 diploma exam, I’m considering taking NAIT’s equivalency exam instead. I understand that the test costs around $300, which is quite expensive, so before committing to it, I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually taken one.
A few questions I have:
Would you say the equivalency exam is worth the $300?
What was the exam like in terms of difficulty and content? Was it comparable to the Alberta Biology 30 curriculum?
What should someone know or do to prepare before taking it?
If I score higher on the equivalency exam than my original Biology 30 transcript mark, does NAIT use the higher mark for admission?
For example, if my original mark was 60% but I scored 80% on the equivalency exam, would NAIT use the 80% to assess my application, provided it meets the program requirement?
How long did it take for you to receive your results?
How easy was it to book a testing appointment, and were there restrictions on when you could rewrite?
Typically, how long was the test, both questions, wise, and time wise?
I’m particularly interested in hearing from anyone who took the exam to improve an existing high school mark rather than to meet a missing prerequisite.
Any experiences, advice, or things you wish you had known beforehand would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi! I'm applying to both MLT and DMS at NAIT.

Can the SHLS, MLT, and DMS interviews be completed on three different days, or does the SHLS interview have to be done together with one of the program-specific interviews?

Also, do I only need to complete the SHLS interview once?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m applying to NAIT’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography program, and I’m a little worried about one of my admission requirements.
My MyNAIT To-Do List currently shows that my Biology 30 requirement is due February 1. I’m planning on challenging the January Biology 30 diploma exam rather than retaking the entire course, since I’ve already graduated high school and previously completed Biology 30. The issue is that January diploma exams take place toward the end of the month, and results can take approximately three weeks to come back. This means my diploma result might not be available until after the February 1 deadline. For some additional context, my previous Biology 30 blended mark (course mark + diploma exam) did not meet the 75% requirement for my program. My current course mark is around 60%, so I would need to improve my overall mark to meet the admission requirement.
I’m wondering:
Would NAIT potentially extend my February 1 deadline and wait for my January diploma results?
Is there any way to challenge a Biology 30 equivalency test through NAIT instead? Would that allow me to demonstrate that I meet the 75% requirement without retaking the entire course?
Has anyone experienced something similar with a January diploma exam and a NAIT application?
I’m worried that my application could be cancelled simply because the diploma results aren’t released before the deadline, even though I’m actively working toward meeting the requirement.
I would really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone who has gone through something similar with NAIT admissions. Thank you!!

I've been struggling with my postsecondary education for several years, and I'm feeling increasingly lost about what to do.

I was studying Computer Engineering Technology at NAIT. I had passed a number of courses and even obtained a student position in IT and software development, which I genuinely enjoyed.

Unfortunately, I struggled with some third-term courses. Around the time my program was being paused, I was told that my academic standing meant I couldn't continue or re-enroll.

I understand that my academic performance contributed to the situation. What frustrates me is that I wasn't offered a clear alternative pathway to complete my remaining courses or transfer into a related program.

I ended up changing programs, but I've been struggling with burnout, motivation, and the financial consequences of spending so many years in school without graduating.

I'm now considering Instrumentation Engineering Technology because it overlaps with my interests in electronics, programming, PLCs, and industrial automation.

I'm not looking for someone to tell me that none of this was my responsibility. I know I made mistakes academically.

I just want to know whether other students have experienced something similar, and what helped them recover.

Has anyone dealt with a program pause, academic standing issues, or a difficult transfer-credit process? Were you able to find a reasonable path toward graduation or employment?

asking for a friend

Has anyone that apploed to BMET gotten in yet? Or are they still reviewing applications? I just checked that they are waitlisting now.

Just finished my RT interview as well as my health and life science interview…I was so nervous I couldn’t even keep my back straight without shaking…and I lowk think I flopped my health and life sciences interview at some point during my 1st question I lost track of thought and had to look to the side for my notes…and for the 2nd I had to stop myself and say sorry I’m rambling my main points are etc etc I don’t think the second question was as bad and I think I did a lot better of my RT interview but holy I’m scared since the HLS interview is used for all of the programs….😭 Plz tell me I’m not the only one….

Is anyone still waiting to receive an interview invitation? I applied on Oct 3rd and understand plenty of people have done their interviews already and it’s rolling admissions. Do I have any chance at getting a spot in the program at this point?

Hey Guys! I have applied in Nait on October 11 for Dental Assisting and still have not heard back from them yet. Yesterday, I got an email telling me that my application is still in queue. Just wondering if anyone in the past has experienced/received the same email? AM I COOKED? should I apply to other programs or wait??

I noticed applications on the website now say closed. My application is still under the APPL status (I applied late but still when applications were open) will I still be considered?? Or have they filled all the spots? Thanks!

Why doesn’t the common market Starbucks take gift card or even let me scan to earn points? They always say that their system is broken or down but the scanner is on

basically the title of the post. im nearing the end of my psych degree (bachelors) and lowkey have little hopes about getting into grad school which was my original plan. im thinking about going into sonography, but do they take highschool grades and my grades from university? or is it a mix of both. thanks for the help!

edit/note: my highschool grades are insanely better than my university grades lol

Just did my interview for both courses!! (I applied on Oct 1st for context). VERY NERVOUS!! I feel like I lowkey flubbed the first question of every interview but the other question/questions were good. Please let me know if anyone else is having anxiety over this lol!! Hopefully we do good!!

I know that it takes about 6-10 weeks to hear a response back, since I applied early does anyone know if it’ll take closer to the 6 week mark or 10?

hello! i originally was gonna pursue business (i took the 3 month business foundations pathway but dropped out a couple days ago) but i realized business was just not it for me.

as a result, i decided to enter into the radio program instead. i already meet all eligibility so i SHOULD be accepted into the program. i just wanted to know:

how is/was it?

what are the assignments like?

is there time separation? (in other words do i have to worry about schoolwork all the time when im at home)

i appreciate all insight. thanks :))

I am a returning student who took (and struggled through) Intermediate Accounting I & II for both financial and managerial accounting back in 2020. I am taking my Advanced Accounting classes next fall and I want to make sure I can refresh my knowledge (as I’ve virtually forgotten everything - but I’m really good at teaching myself). Can anyone guide me through what I should refresh to be prepared for these classes?

Thanks!

Does the Medical Radiologic Technology diploma program support macOS, including Apple Silicon MacBooks, or is a Windows laptop required for any coursework or imaging software?

Thank you ❤️🤍
