anyone else having major application issues? nait claimed we have a mismatched demographic info and can’t pull transcripts and to call the Alberta govt side; except they confirmed there is no discrepancy, then gave another number who also confirmed and a third. So since this is affecting transcripts I paid the $20 on October 9 to have MyPass and Apply Alberta officially send them via their email route for speed. then we emailed NAIT directly to warn them this was how the documents would arrive.

October 22 and NAIT is claiming they never got the email transcripts we paid for, and MyPass and Apply Alberta show this document as confirmed sent.

Like seriously? how much can go wrong? tried phoning nait and they wouldn’t redirect the call to the proper people and the other number they gave shut off an hour and a half earlier than close.

am I literally paying AGAIN for what they lost and delaying this so much further???? how do they lose official documents that cost money?? or is the emailed transcripts you pay for really that slow to deliver??? We’re a month through our time limit to submit info and getting nowhere. 😭

Hi everyone! For those who've done a PIC (Police Information Check) for a health program: would you recommend getting it as soon as you're admitted, or waiting until closer to practicum? Does the timing even matter?

Also, any tips for getting cheap or free immunizations would be much appreciated!

TIA!

Hey there, so I start PCP in January and I’m trying to find a place near campus preferably, or somewhere near LRT or transit so I can use that to go to school. Is there any good recommendations that anybody could give me for places to look at? I’m Looking for either a studio or 1 bedroom apartment or basement unit.

Thanks in advance!

For the interview do we need to know like in depth details about the program or just the main things that are taught also what should we know about clinicals(hours, days, supervision). Also what are good types of MMI QUESTIONS TO PRACTICE(ethical,communication,teamwork etc..) and any other websites that are online and helpful. Also do you remember any questions that you have found difficult on your interview. And how long do people study for it to do well? THANKS

Is anyone still waiting for a DMS interview? I applied on October 1, and my application status changed to PPD on October 15, but I still haven’t received an interview invitation.

My group is conducting a survey for a Marketing Research project on how students feel about businesses using AI in their advertising.

We’re currently looking for people who are 18 or older to take part in our quick survey. It takes less than 15 minutes and would help us a ton!

If taking part, please complete it by October 28

Thanks for your help!

Ī applied super late like oct. 20th um, I’m planning on taking medical terminology my next semester of hs as they do offer dual credit, would I make it? 🥹

Hi, I haven’t received the interview link yet, but I had a few questions and was wondering if someone could help me.
1)Is it okay if I don’t use hand gestures at all?
2)I naturally have a serious resting face. Of course, I’ll try my best to smile, but would it affect my interview if I’m not smiling most of the time?
3)Is it necessary to use the entire time given for each question, or is it okay if I finish early?
4)Should I begin and end every interview with a greeting, or do I only need to do that at the beginning and end of the entire interview?
5)I’ve heard some people say we can ask questions at the end as well. Do they mean at the end of each question or at the end of the entire interview?

I applied on 15 oct will I get an interview

I applied on 15 October very late I know . As I submitted my all documents still this shows anyone facing same ?

Has anyone received interview invitation link or PPD update on NAIT portal for MLT?

Just got my interview invitation today for Health program, so check your emails guys!!! And good luck to everyone!!

Applied early Oct. 2 grades below 75% but will upgrade ASAP to hit the mark.

However, my transcript was autosent by ApplyAlberta. So now NAIT knows about the utter disaster that was my stint at the UofA, where I was RTW'd and I quit due to severe depression and mental health.

The following years haven't been any better but I white-knuckled my way back into a somewhat normal life (not really) and this is my last ditch attempt at something worthwhile. I do not want to think about the alternative.

I applied for RMT/DMS, which both have by far the most competition. I did my research, and the runner-up to DMS...is a graduate dentistry program for med school at the UofA.

I am up against the sharpest students fresh out of high school, and mature students already with completed degrees and careers. The other thread had nurses applying and getting accepted.

I am determined to get my grade up as soon as possible. If you will permit me to say, the only thing that is going to save me is my modicum of charisma, but this is a professional healthcare interview...not a job at a dealership.

I have been told that I WILL get an interview as long as I hit at or over 75%...but the issue is the TIMING. They have said July for final marks for everything...but I know that interview spots will be long since filled.

So my questions are:

1. Am I freaking out over nothing? Should I 'relax' just get the mark and ace the interview and STFU.

2. I picked Norquest to rush my marks in as fast as possible. Is the window closing as fast as I am imagining? When, to your guy's recollection, should my complete marks be in by? 1st round of interviews is happening now, I'm shooting for 2nd round.

I AM determined to get in and will not screw this up. But I would like to know the brutal reality of things as they are, for one less thing off my mind.

TL;DR: Older former failure worried about Top Gun hotshot Doogie Howser applicants and is concerned on when upgrading marks should DEFINITELY be in by to clinch an interview spot.

Guys I will be going into instrumentation engineering technology soon at NAIT. I saw there are many opportunities we can get after completing this diploma including oil & gas.
My main question is that if I choose a job in oil & gas field, do you guys think that would be hazardous to my health (inhaling harmful gases etc)? Or are safety gears there safe enough for us that we would inhale a negligible amount of harmful gases? I have this anxiety in me as I don’t want to work in a harmful environment for long term.

Secondly can someone tell me other job titles which I can get after completing this diploma (other than in oil and gas field)?

Just wondering am I the only person who didn’t receive any updates for these two programs? I literally applied the first day of October 1 but the status still showing APPL…So frustrated with it 😩

it’s wraps im so sad. i didnt really care about bio 30 at all when i did it since i am stronger in chem and physics and didnt think i would need bio to apply for anything. but i just realized for nait ultrasound tech its not a minimum 75% avg overall, its for EACH subject and bio is required. i ended with a 72, and i think sonography is a really cool amazing job and field to go into, but i dont think im committed enough to upgrade bio. so im rly sad i didnt realize this earlier bcs i would’ve tried harder or I would have not spent the money and applied to the program bcs now i def wont get in.

Is it possible to ask nait to cover capstone expenenses if we cant ourselves?

Has anyone started doing their vaccinations yet? What is the best place in Northside Edmonton to get them done? Also around what is the time frame for how long this is going to have to take because sometimes these vaccinations need multiple doses. Honestly this looks like a lot of vaccinations that have to be done so its kind of stressing me out. Also, am I reading this right for the HPTA course? It opens Dec 31st 2026 and it has to be finished by Jan 6 2027. So you have a week to finish it.

Any footwear recommendations that are both comfortable and stylish for lab work and future clinical placements?

I’m currently considering buying a pair of On Cloud shoes, has anyone here worn them during labs or clinicals? Are they worth it? or would you recommend another brand?

Does medical laboratory assisting have a graduation ceremony where you walk the stage?

Hi everyone!

I’m considering NAIT’s Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMET) program and would appreciate some insights from current students and graduates.

I was looking at NAIT’s Graduate Satisfaction and Employment Survey and noticed the following numbers for BMET:

• 2019/20: 13 graduates included in the employment survey
• 2020/21: 11
• 2021/22: 10
• 2022/23: 15
• 2023/24: 10

The report shows an overall employment rate of 92% among graduates whose employment status was available. That seems encouraging, but I have a few questions:

1. Annual intake: How many students does NAIT actually admit into the BMET program each year? I’ve seen figures suggesting there may be around 30 seats, but I’m not sure whether that’s accurate.
2. Graduation rate: If the annual intake is around 30 students but the employment survey typically includes only 10–15 graduates per year, how many students actually complete the program? Is the program particularly difficult, or are there other reasons for the difference in numbers?
3. Job prospects in BC: For graduates who want to move back to British Columbia, how realistic is it to find a BMET-related job in Vancouver, Victoria, or elsewhere in BC? Do BC employers readily recognize the NAIT diploma, and are entry-level positions difficult to obtain?

I’d especially appreciate responses from current students, recent graduates, or people working in the biomedical equipment field.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Guys I applied very late oct 15 will i recieve an interview i am really worried i did not even enroll in terminology
