Prerequisite requirements

Many courses at Langara have prerequisite requirements. In some cases, documents submitted for your admission may not be sufficient for prerequisite purposes.

To confirm you meet prerequisite requirements for your desired courses, visit the prerequisite section of the registration guide for more information or look for the course description to check its prerequisites.

NOTE: It is common for students to take more than two years to complete their program, especially if they must take prerequisite courses. If you think this may apply to you, please contact an International Student Coordinator (ISC) or email international@langara.ca.

Prerequisite courses

To check the list of prerequisite scores you already have, log into Student Information System. Select Student Menu > Student Records > View Your Prerequisites and Test Scores.

If you believe your previous academic history may be sufficient to meet the prerequisites of your desired courses, email the respective department and ask for a prerequisite override.

• You may need to provide the department with a scanned copy of your academic documents so they can assess your qualification.
• You can find the list of department contacts here.
• Note that an override is not guaranteed.
• Contact the ISS team for further assistance.

Alternatively, if you do not have prerequisite scores, consider registering for courses/electives that do not require any prerequisites in your first semester.

Diagnostic tests

To meet prerequisite requirements for some courses, you may need to write a placement or diagnostic test.

IMPORTANT: IELTS or Duolingo tests are not equivalent to the Langara English Test (LET) or any British Columbia Grade 12 English course. Therefore, these cannot be considered as a prerequisite for university-transferable courses. Some exceptions may apply for preparatory English courses. For more information, please refer to the Department of English FAQ.
