It’s the busiest time of year for us in the Student Recruitment Office, because we have a general application deadline that is quickly approaching! A majority of NAIT full-time programs that begin this Fall 2009 will have a March 31, 2009 deadline (be sure to check the program website for your specific program, some application dates vary). Here are a few things to keep in mind as you prepare to submit your application:
