How do I register for classes?

Class registration takes place during specific enrollment periods before each semester. You can register for classes through the “Registration” section on the portal. Ensure you meet with your advisor to review your degree plan and get alternate PIN approval before registering. Then simply search for classes, add them to your cart, and checkout.

Where can I view my final grades?

Once the semester is over, your final grades will be posted under the “Grades” tab or section in your student portal account. It may take a couple weeks after exams for grades to be fully processed and uploaded. Be sure to routinely check your grades and GPA to track your academic progress.

How do I request official transcripts?

When you need an official copy of your BFIT academic transcript, whether for transferring credits, applying to graduate programs, or employment, you can easily request an electronic or printed transcript through the student portal. Go to “Transcript Request” and select the delivery option. Most requests are processed within 3-5 business days.

I forgot my portal password. Now what?

No worries, it happens to the best of us. If you forget your BFIT portal password, click the “Forgot Password?” link on the login page. You will be prompted to enter your username (student ID) and the system will send a temporary password reset link to your BFIT email address. Reset your password ensuring it meets the complexity requirements displayed.

My account seems to be deactivated. Why?

There can be a few reasons for account deactivation: expired credentials due to inactivity, incorrect login attempts, non-payment of fees or holds on your registration. First, double check your username and password. If still unable to login, contact the IT Helpdesk through the portal for immediate assistance getting your account reactivated.

I’m having issues with a particular feature. What do I do?

Don’t get frustrated – technical glitches happen. Try closing and reopening your browser first. If the issue persists, log into the student portal and submit an online support ticket detailing the problem. An IT staff member will investigate and respond to resolve your issue ASAP. You can also learn basic troubleshooting through the handy FAQs and guides listed under the “Help” section.

FAQ

  1. What is a bfit student portal?

    The bfit student portal is basically an online page where students can access stuff like schedules, assignments, and school communications. It’s sort of like a digital campus.

  2. How do I log in to the student portal?

    To sign in, you’ll need your personalized login credentials that were assigned to you at the beginning of the year. Enter your username and password on the homepage. Sometimes the server gets all messed up and logging in is annoying, but normally it works fine!

  3. What kinds of things can I find on the portal?

    On the portal, you can view your class schedule, check exam dates, submit assignments, and see announcements from teachers. There’s also extra links to stuff like your financial account and transcripts. It’s got most of what a student would need, maybe minus the snacks!

  4. Is the portal available on mobile devices?

    Yup, the portal was created to be accessible through phones and tablets as well as computers. Personally, I find the mobile app kind of clunky sometimes – it’s not as smooth as using the full site. But it gets the job done in a pinch!

  5. What if I forget my password?

    If you somehow forgot your login info, click the “forgot password” button to reset it. The portal will send a new temp password to your email on file. Get ready for a boring randomly generated password though! Perhaps you could insert a joke into the new one to lighten things up?

  6. How often does the portal update?

    Information like assignments and exams usually appears on the portal instantly after teachers make changes. But sometimes there are delays – I swear it takes forever for grades to show up. It’s hard to be patient! At the same time, the portal avoids excessive updates that could spam your inbox.

  7. Any tips for getting the most out of the portal?

    Make checking the portal part of your daily routine to stay on top of everything. Use a calendar or planner to keep track of due dates from the portal. You can also try personalized notifications for new announcements or messages. Oddly, I sometimes see the most useful info when casually browsing without a clear goal – the portal works in mysterious ways!
