How
To Apply
Langara College accepts application to career programs and arts and science limited enrolment programs in person, by mail or on the Langara College website. Applications to some of these programs require that students complete an application supplement that is specific to the program. Application supplement forms are available here.
For program admission requirements, refer to the descriptions of specific programs in this Calendar or on the Langara College website. Submit applications for admission along with all supporting documents (official copies only) to Admissions, Registrar’s Office.
Career program and arts and science limited enrolment program students who satisfy the criteria for admission to the program will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, except as noted in the program admission requirements. Langara College may deny admission to those students who do not possess the requisite capabilities for success.
A non-refundable application fee * must be submitted with the application for admission if the student has not previously been a student in an arts and science, career, or arts and science limited enrolment program at Langara College.
* Visit fee information page for additional details.
NOTE:
Langara College does not guarantee admission to all qualified students as the number of seats available for programs is limited. Students may apply to the arts and science program at the same time they apply to a career or limited enrolment program, particularly if they wish to register for arts and science courses in the event they are not admitted to a career program.
Application Dates
Applications are accepted during the eleven-month period immediately preceding the program intake date. All applications received PRIOR to these dates will be returned.
Students applying to Theatre Arts and Nursing Programs should refer to the program description.
Students are normally selected four months prior to the program start date. Thereafter, students may be considered if seats are available.
Application Requirements
| 1 | Secondary school graduation is normally required for admission to career programs. Based on other qualifications and experience, students who are 19 years of age or older may be considered for some programs without secondary school completion. Some programs have additional academic requirements and/or require additional submissions and procedures such as interviews, testing, auditions, or portfolios. Check program listings for detailed admission requirements. |
| 2 | Students currently in BC Grade 12, who satisfy admission requirements, may be considered for conditional acceptance based on mid-term marks. Final acceptance is subject to confirmation of graduation. |
| 3 | Students are required to meet appointment times and dates for testing and interviews. |
Note:
All transcripts and supporting documents submitted with an application for admission become the property of Langara College and are under no circumstances returned to the applicant. Exceptions may be made for irreplaceable documents, providing the Registrar’s Office is informed upon submission of the documents that the documents cannot be replaced.
BC secondary school students currently in Grade 12 may have their records sent electronically to Langara College by the Ministry of Education. Students must request this by completing the online Post-Secondary Selections Form and provide their BC Personal Education Number on their application for admission to Langara College. No further action is necessary. Students must provide an official transcript to the Registrar’s Office as soon as it is available if they have not asked the Ministry to forward the grades electronically.
If students want to register in a course that has a prerequisite that has been earned at another institution (secondary or post-secondary), they must request that this information be put on their file at least ten weeks in advance of their registration date. Visit Transfer Credit page for more information.
For secondary school prerequisites (if the student is not a current BC secondary school student), students must submit an official secondary school transcript. For post-secondary prerequisites, students must submit an official transcript from the transferring institution, copies of course descriptions, and a Transfer Credit Request form and associated fee. Transcript Request forms are also available at the Registrar’s Office.
A unique nine-digit Langara College ID number is assigned to each student. This ID number is required for registration and must be noted on all documents and correspondence submitted to Langara College. Once the student has registered for courses, this number must be used in all transactions with the College.
