About Inactive BCIT Employee Account Deactivation

As part of BCIT’s commitment to protecting user accounts and securing institutional data, the Cybersecurity department is building new processes around how your access to this data is processed through our systems. As a result, we are making some important changes to how access to the myBCIT account is managed and controlled.

If an employee had their last working day 18 months ago or longer, their employee status will be classified as Inactive starting November 19, 2025. At that time, their myBCIT account will also be marked as Inactive and will be scheduled for deletion by the end of January 2026.

Once Inactive, the employee will lose access to all BCIT online resources that require a myBCIT login — including their my.bcit.ca email and the myBCIT portal.

• Active Employees: No impact — your account remains active.
• Former Employees (who had their last working day within the past 18 months): No impact — you will still be able to access BCIT services.
• Inactive Employees (who had their last working day 18 months or longer): Starting November 19, 2025, your employee status will be classified as Inactive. Access to BCIT online services requiring a myBCIT login — including your my.bcit.ca email and the myBCIT portal — will be removed.

Yes, but only if you are an employee who had their last working day 18 months ago or longer. In this case, your my.bcit.ca account will be fully disabled — including your ability to send, receive, or access email — as part of the account deactivation process.

No, if you are classified as an Inactive employee (a former employee who had their last working day 18 months ago or longer), you will no longer have access to your myBCIT email account.

If you weren’t able to export your emails before November 19, 2025, you can request temporary reactivation of your my.bcit.ca account by submitting the Account Reactivation Request Form.

Note: The form is currently in development. A link will be provided closer to the November 19, 2025 deadline.

Important: Account reactivations will not be possible after January 2026. If you need to export your emails, ensure this is completed before the end of that month.

After your course ends, you’ll be considered a Former Student for 18 months, during which your account will still be accessible. Once the 18 months have passed, your status will change to Inactive Student, and your myBCIT account will be deactivated.
