Houses Establishment

The House wise divisional concept that was introduced to BCAS very recently, it combines all the different departments, together to create four houses each consisting of roughly 200 students below I have included the formula and the House Number, Colors and their Name, including the IPO Pronunciations

 House Assignment Formula

 Your IDs are create based on the following format :-<< Department Abbreviation>>/<<Last Digits of the Year of Registration>>/<<Batch Number>>/<<Incrementing Student ID>>

 If you take an ID such as HN/05/16/29 It means

1. HND IT
2. 2005 Year
3. 16th Batch
4. 29th Student

Now to assign yourself to houses, we divide this last two digits by 4 and take the Remainder, a mathematical term know as Modulus (%) [Remainder] so 29%4 = 1 based on that remainder you would be assigned to your respective houses, as I’ve heard this formula has been given to all the administrative department, So all you got do is go and ask your respective admin departments.

HN/05/16/29 = 29 = 29%4 [Remainder] = 1 = Vikings [Green]

House Terminology

Your House are decide based on the above mentioned remainder number here is what the numbers mean

0 = Gladiators = AKA Red House = [Say Glad-Ee-Ate-tors]
1 = Vikings = AKA Green House = [Say Y-Kings not V-King]
2 = Samurais = AKA Yellow House = [Say Sa-mo-Raies]
3 = Knights = AKA Blue House = [Say Nights (K is Silent)]

I would like to ask all to use the Official Names because, i chat with some of you and they use colors as the names of the house, but there are much cooler names :) Also the house you’re assigned to is based on the currently active Student ID [not ones that you had before you switched a stream, also not ones you had in past registrations for BCAS]

 Windows 7 Calculator

You can use the Windows 7 Calculator to find the remainder of your Last Two Digits of your Student ID, here in the below picture the Calculator is in Scientific Mode, with History Enable for better view

Each house has their own group and later maybe they will have their own page, once a few years pass by, and also if we knew magic we got get sorting hat too :), I encourage students to go-forth find thy house assign thy self-join and have fun, or ask your Admin Department got your house, but confirm it using the formula, after all it is Course Lifetime Choice

1. Gladiators = http://www.facebook.com/groups/239738206058687/
