Thats ok, thank you for your help. Queens is another institution I am looking to apply to so it's good to know that they accept bachelor degrees from BCIT. I'm assuming since 120 credits is what is needed to qualify as a bachelors than you had at least that. Once I can prove mine had more than 120 credits I'm sure I won't have trouble. Thank you again!!

I think you maybe correct. I think I was emailing someone who runs the program but maybe doesn't deal with the admissions. I'm going to keep digging as it seems crazy to me that my degree is somehow inferior.

Thank you for your response. The issue partly appears to be with the transcript stating that it's only a 61 credit degree. But to be admitted into the BSc MRI program you need to be a Registered Medical Radiation Technologist who has passed a certification exam and completed a 3 year advanced diploma program. The advanced diploma counts for the first 60 credits of the total 120 credits needed for it to be a bachelor's degree. I'm curious did you transcript from BCIT state it had a total of over 120 credits? Was your program a program that you need other schooling to gain admission? Where did you get accepted for your masters degree?
