Course Planning
Course planning is key to staying on track with your studies. It involves selecting the right mix of classes that align with your goals, interests and program requirements. A solid plan helps you consider important factors like prerequisites, number of courses to take each semester and how to balance school with other activities or work. By planning ahead, you can avoid delays in completing your program and build in flexibility to make adjustments if your interests or academic goals change over time.
Developing a solid course plan involves following structured steps, and an Academic Advisor can guide you through the process. Langara’s Academic Planner is a helpful tool that allows you to visualize your academic journey and plan your courses effectively.
Notes on the use of Academic Planner tool:
- Catalogue Term. The curriculum information in the Academic Planner’s program maps applies to the current catalogue term and is subject to change when there is a curriculum update. Students should always follow the curriculum associated with their program's start date (i.e. catalogue term). Students can confirm their catalogue term by contacting the Graduation Department at gradeval@langara.ca.
- Course Access. Admission to a program at Langara College does not guarantee registration in required courses. Students are responsible for confirming prerequisites and scheduled course offerings for their courses. Students may need to take one or more additional courses to meet the prerequisites of the courses required in their program.
- Graduation. The Graduation Department is the only department at Langara that can confirm when graduation requirements have been met. Students should reach out to book a graduation advising session when they are approaching program completion, usually in their second to last semester. Graduation advising appointments can be booked by emailing gradeval@langara.ca.
