Forwarding your myBCIT Email

Important

myBCIT email addresses are used primarily to communicate with students. Use this procedure if you do not use your myBCIT email.

If you don’t check your myBCIT email regularly or if you prefer to use another email address, you can set your myBCIT mailbox to forward all email to another address by following these steps.
