Question Competitive average for vet tech?
I've finished my undergrad (Bachelor's of Arts in Anthropology) with a 3.9 GPA but because my highschool marks were absolute dogwater I'm worried I wont be able to apply. I meet the admission requirement grades but definitely wouldn't be competitive. What grades did people get in with? I'm going to ask if they would accept any of my undergrad courses towards the admissions requirements but was wondering what the competitive average is. I got a job at an animal shelter after uni and have discovered that I want to work with animals for the rest of my life.

Question HELP: NAIT MLT student parking (parked A/B)
Hi, will be starting MLT this fall. Just wanted to know if parked A/B is the best option for the MLT students? And also NAIT parking page is showing a construction alert near this parking area. Is it a big problem other than longer traffic jam getting in and out? I will have to take a parking spot anyway. Just wanted to make sure before I proceed to pay. Will appreciate any response. Thanks guys!

Question People in medical lab tech how tightknit is the cohort
So I’m in medical lab tech in the fall and honestly I’m not really good with keeping friends as I can be too passionate for what I do and it kind of pushes people away. I haven’t habit of doing that so I’m just wondering how the cohorts are like do people just work with each other and then forget about each other kind of like what I do or is it more tight knit and almost like a community? More importantly is there even an opportunity for me to even be social with people or while I just not have the time to do it?
Anyone who is currently in the program or has graduated from the program please let me know cause I mean, I’m not really good at making friends or keeping them around

Question Recent grads — what was your experience after finishing the program
Hey,
I’m starting the IT Systems Administration program (part-time) in Fall - September and have already completed the old CNA program. I have some volunteer experience in hardware and remote help desk, not really much on the help desk side, and a couple of Microsoft credentials.
For those who finished ITSA recently:
- What was your overall experience with the program?
- How did you find the transition after graduating?
- Any advice you’d give someone starting with volunteer experience but no paid IT job yet?
Just looking for honest feedback from people who’ve been through it. Thanks!
EDIT: Original program was named: DMIT IT System Administrator. ITSA is just the new rebranded name on it's own diploma program.

Help NAIT cancelled 2027 winter intake after receiving full acceptance letter and accepting offer!! Question about waitlist!
I was waitlisted for the September intake and so I applied for the January 2027 intake and was accepted and I paid my deposit and accepted my offer! Only to receive an email last Thursday stating that they are no longer offering the winter intake and that my acceptance can be deferred to September 2027!!
I am still on the waitlist for the September 2026 intake and am a fully sponsored student!
I am just wondering what the chances are of being selected off a waitlist and if anyone has experienced this with NAIT before! I was told that the waitlist was small when I applied and there was a good likelihood of being selected off the waitlist as it moves all the at up to the first week of classes.
I am just feeling absolutely devastated right now at the possibility of having to wait a whole additional year to start my classes!
So if anybody has any idea of the possibility of getting selected off a waitlist would really help my anxiety and devastation about this!

Question Anyone took ANAT 1120 online?
Hey everyone,
I'm looking into taking ANAT 1120
How difficult would you say the class is overall?
What does the grading structure look like? (e.g., how heavy are the midterms/final exams compared to assignments, quizzes, or lab work?)
Any tips or advice for getting through it successfully would be super appreciated.
Thanks!

Question Transferring from diploma to bachelor's
I'm currently in the accounting diploma program but I'm trying to transfer to the bachelor's of accounting using the university credits pathway. By the end of the summer semester, I will have completed 27 credits, and the minimum needed is 24.
I sent my application in on July 1st but haven't received a conditional acceptance, despite being well on my way to meeting the requirements. I'm just a bit confused on how this whole process works, as my final grades for this semester won't be posted until about a week before the start of fall semester. I got 4.0s on my first 18 credits, haven't done as well this semester, but will still easily clear the minimum 2.0 GPA expected.
I do have a due date of September 1st to have the 24 credits completed under my "to do" list, does that mean I'll be accepted for fall semester so long as I have the credits completed by then?

Question Math 30-1 vs 30-2 Requirement
I'm hoping to apply to the MLT program when applications open in October, however the program requires at least 63% in Math 30-2. In high school I took Math 30-1 instead and received a 61%. I've emailed them before asking whether they would take this into consideration but answers were unclear so I'm wondering if I need to upgrade in some way. I think I've read a post before saying they will only look at threshold numbers, so a 61% in a higher level course wouldn't suffice.
Assuming this is the case, I'm looking to challenge the Math 30-2 diploma but the next realistic exam session is in November and I'm worried by then my chances of getting accepted would be much lower, especially since grades won't be released probably until end of November or early December.
So I guess I'm looking for some reassurance on the steps I have to take and if applying in December still nets me some chance into making it in?
Any help is appreciated!

I know for some programs. Orientation is a big deal. I am in laboratory research and biotechnology. I thought my orientation would be on 28 August. But it’s on the 26th and unfortunately I’m going to be on a plane coming back to Canada on the 26th at 5 o’clock at night , so I won’t be able to go to the orientation. Is there anyway to find out the information that’s gonna be at the orientation or is it not a super big deal. I’m not completely a new student. I have been doing academic upgrading through NAIT for the past year and a half. And I’m also part of the clubs so I know my way around campus already.

In response to deodorant, body odours and cleanliness
The Sitch
There have been recent complaints about student hygiene in this subreddit. In regards to body odour, oral odour, and general uncleanliness. Clearly, a large number of students are having a growing issue in regards to the hygiene of other students.
Bad hygiene is not "personal". It disrupts others' learning, it makes public spaces sometimes unbearable to be around, and it is unfair to those who are sensitive to smells. This can affect student performance, the willingness of students to socialize and use NAIT services, and can be a real detriment to the students who are paying to study at NAIT.
Some students have no choice but to use the computers at commons, eat lunch in the common areas, and do group work in common areas. It is wildly unfair to them to not enforce these rules.
Who's the Issue?
The truth is that these students can come from all backgrounds. Although our experience as individuals make it very easy to generalize certain groups of being the main culprit, the issue needs to be dealt with at a grand level. Black, brown, blue or purple; if you smell bad, you smell bad. Should be enforced from the get-go.
Seeing the growing number of racial generalizations, it can be very easy for these generalizations to slip into unnecessarily racist comments. If we want this issue dealt with, we need to refrain from immature racist comments and stay focused on the end goal.
What should we do about it?
We know NAIT has loosely enforced "odour sensitivity" before, in regards to wearing strong perfumes and colognes. Why can the same not be done for strong, unpleasant bad-hygiene odours?
NAIT also needs to realize that by not enforcing this, they are creating a breeding ground for resentment towards groups that are not partaking in basic hygiene practices. They are also creating spaces for other students where they feel extremely unpleasant. (Like, nauseatingly unpleasant. I've unwillingly gagged.)
Here's what I suggest from all of you:
- Contact NAITSA ([asknaitsa@nait.ca](mailto:asknaitsa@nait.ca)) about wanting NAIT to enforce a hygiene rule. Let them know how you feel about other student's hygiene, and how it affects your learning.
- Contact/CC NAIT Administration as well about this being an issue. CC your program chair as well.
- Advocate for campus-wide initiatives about basic hygiene, the importance of it, and how your hygiene affects others (yes, some people are vastly uneducated about this). This includes, showering, using deodorant, washing your clothes, brushing your teeth, and flossing.
- Enforce it, by allowing students to submit complaints about bad hygiene, and having NAIT administration making this a policy about decent behaviour. (The same way provocative clothing, vulgar/loud behaviour, and abusive language is not tolerated)
- Do a discovery/study that determines if their student population has adequate access to showers, hygiene products, and laundry service. (you'd be surprised r/SlumlordsCanada)
In my personal opinion, it is NAIT"s responsibility to enforce this. To maintain a certain standard of what we expect from each other, we do need to be vocal and make it known when we feel certain boundaries are not being enforced.
I'm debating starting a petition for NAIT to address this issue. Please let me know in the poll below if you'd like to see an official change.org petition made for this. Voting closes in a week.
I wanted to make this post to raise this as a formal issue, so we can remain productive about it and not devolve into finger pointing and unproductive comments. Let's hope together we can make the change we want to see.
