Update: Langara College

Here's some updated information from Langara College, from the information session for counsellors on December 2:

  • Provincial Exam Requirements: English 12/English Literature 12 is the only provincially-examinable course where you must write your provincial exam for admission purposes. All other provincial exams are optional.
  • Communications 12 and Admission: You can be admitted into Langara with Communications 12 credit. However, course registration would be restricted. You can waive the restrictions by taking the Langara English Test (LET) or the Language Proficiency Index (LPI) exam and performing up to admission standard.
  • Nursing: There is a long wait-list for students who are applying for the nursing program. You are allowed to take arts/science courses that are a part of the program prior to admission to lessen your course load should you be admitted into nursing later.
  • As discussed in the past, Langara's arts and science university transfer program operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. You should apply early to save yourself a seat.
  • Course Planning Sessions: For students who will be on the university transfer program at Langara, Langara will be hosting course planning sessions from January to April in 2010. Most sessions run from 4:00 - 5:30, so you can commute to Langara after class to attend. You can sign up for these general sessions, then book an individual session to sit down with an academic advisor who can provide program-specific advice for you. For more information, click here.
  • Social Media Contacts: Langara uses a variety of social media websites to get in touch with you. You can find Langara on Facebook (click here), Twitter (click here), or YouTube (click here). These are some great ways to learn more about Langara.
