Hi Ms Eartha. Good day! Is it normal that for BVC waitlisted na yung 2024 winter intake , I will opt for Fall 2024 nalang .. not sure if Summer intake 2024 is just okay too?

Hello Gladys! I do not have an experience on this matter. However, I know someone who was on the waitlist. She waited for about a month before she received an acceptance letter. For business administration, usually fall and winter lang and intake. Hope this helps clarify 😁

Hello! Such an informative video! I have a question. Can you please tell me the exact time schedule of business administration ( general business major) diploma classes in a week as I am a bit worried about the schedule.

@@bread_esu Usually classes are from 8am - 5pm for morning/afternoon classes and 6pm - 9pm for evening classes. The campus is open from Monday to Saturday. You have the ability to set your schedule at Bow Valley College because you enrol your courses individually. Classes are usually 3hrs a week so if the class if for 2 days, expect that you would spend 1.5hours a day in the class. I hope this helps
Hi Thank you for the video, I am planning to study in the fall of 2024 Business Administration General, When will be the time to register/send an application for registration to get the LOA? Is there any chance to get a free LOA?
@AlbEartha
Жыл бұрын
Hi Mark. Application for Fall usually opens around November/ December. I advice you check the admissions page of the program of your choice so you don’t miss out on the registration. LOA is sent by institutions and you have to pay for an application fee to be considered, so you cannot get a free LOA legally. Hope this helps!

Hello po, asking po sana how to handle financial matters as international student. My question is, ex: I have a local Ph bank account here like BDO/BPI, I know pwede gamitin ang ATM Card sa Canada but with high charges po cguro. Is it advisable to use it there or make a one time wire transfer from CA with my local Ph bank if doable. What are the better options u know po so far? Also, is GCASH working there? Thanks in advance for the tips and advice! :)
@AlbEartha
Жыл бұрын
Hello there. I am not sure if you can use yung ATM card because I use my PH credit card sometimes for transactions. There is not much of a difference naman when I use my PH credit card kasi kung anong posted na ForEx sa bank, yun naman yung charges na lumalabas. As far as I know, hindi gumagana ang GCash. If wire transfer, I supposed you need to file yung application physically sa bank sa PH so I do not supposed pwede syang facilitate online or through the app. Hope this helps! 😃

However, don’t be discouraged because instructors are patient and open to questions you may have, specially if you are going to study at Bow Valley College

Hello I am opting business administration(general business major) diploma in bow valley college. I have a total of 10 courses for first and second term. # First of all I want to ask you about the total courses I should take each term. My program course list simplifies that I need to take (1). microeconomics in the first term and (2). Macroeconomics in the second term. #I want to ask you about the eight courses that are left. Whether I can take any course in the first or second term according to my choice. Or the college will tell me about the courses that should be selected in the first term. Please reply 🙏

Hello Dipesh. There are what we call core courses (1st year courses ideally -100 courses) and major courses (2nd year courses ideally - 200 courses). I advice you check on the course codes and see if they are 100 or 200 courses. You can also reach out to an academic advisor and ask for a program course recommendation for the breakdown of courses per term. You can also try to search the course breakdown for each term on a search engine. I found mine online and you should be able to find yours too! Thank you for your question and have a great day!

Which is better : bow valley or mount royal ?
@AlbEartha
3 ай бұрын
Hello, sorry for the late response. Great question. It depends since both institutions offer different courses. If you’re coming to a country like the Philippines where “college” means any institution that offers tertiary education, then you can get a little confused. Here college means institutions offering diploma programs (2 year programs) while university offers bachelor’s programs and higher. So if you’re planning to take a 2 year program, BVC would be a better choice. I’m not sure if Mount Royal offers diploma programs. If you plan to study Bachelors or masters, definitely Mount Royal. Unless you want to take nursing. I think BVC offers nursing program, not MRU. I might be wrong tho. Hope this helps!
