How To Apply

Application Dates
Students should apply early as their registration date is determined by their date of application.
Application deadlines are normally three to four months before the start of the semester in which the programs and courses begin. Please check with the Registrar’s Office for more information.
International Students - Please refer to International Education Admissions.
New Students
To be considered for admission, students must submit an application form, a non-refundable application fee, and all supporting documents (official copies only) to Admissions, Registrar’s Office. Students currently in Grade 12 may submit an application before they have received their final secondary school transcript.
Prospective students may make application to Langara College eleven months prior to the semester in which they want to register.
Application Requirements
- A non-refundable application fee * must be submitted with the application for admission. Students who apply for admission but do not register and who re-apply for admission within three semesters following the first semester for which they applied are not required to submit an additional application fee.
* Visit fee information page for additional details.
- All transcripts and educational documents must be official (photocopies are not accepted).
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 student informs the Registrar’s Office 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 Institutions Selections Form and provide their BC Personal Education Number on their application for admission to Langara College. No further action is necessary. If students do not have their grades forwarded electronically, they must provide an official transcript to the Registrar’s Office as soon as it is available.
If students wish to register in a course that has a prerequisite and they have earned the prerequisite 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 a student has registered for courses, this number must be used in all transactions with the College.
Reactivation of Application
If Students apply to the Arts and Science program for a specific semester but do not register into any courses for that semester, they must reactivate their application for the semester that they are interested in attending. Reactivation requests are subject to the same deadline dates as new applications. Students are strongly advised to submit reactivation requests to the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible. Students are not required to pay an additional application fee if they are re-activating within three semesters following the first semester for which they applied.
To reactivate, students must complete a Reactivation form. Reactivation forms are also available from the Registrar’s Office.
Returning Students
Arts and Science students who have previously registered at Langara College and who have a Langara academic record are not required to re-apply for admission to the Arts and Science Program or courses. Students must update their address if it has changed since they last registered. Please refer to the current Registration Guide and Course Schedule for information on registration.
