Important information:
Registration for the SDT will close whenever the courses are full or two days before the test dates. To ensure your seat, please register (and pay) as soon as possible. Students registered will receive further information by email with instructions one week before the test dates. Please make sure your email on your Student Account is up to date. NOTE: The SDT is non-refundable (unless medical documentation can be provided to support your absence) and non-transferable.
SDT Schedule
Please note that the results are valid for three years, and that students are NOT allowed to write the SDT more than ONCE per semester. If you write more than once (in different semesters) then the system will only look at the latest results.
ALSO NOTE: ALL TESTS are now IN PERSON (ON CAMPUS). We will NOT be offering any of our SDT tests online so students need to make arrangements to be on campus and on time for the test. Location of tests are listed on the table above.
Test Results
The results of the SDT are normally entered into the web-registration system within 48 - 72 hours. Students must wait for their score to be on the Student Information System (under the Students Prerequisites and Test Scores) before registering.
The results are entered as a numerical code; each code corresponds to eligibility for a course. The numerical code does NOT equal the percentage grade achieved on the test. The minimum requirements for each course are:
- STAT 1124 requires SDT 53 (write SDT)
- KINS 2206 requires SDT 53 (write SDT)
- PSYC 2321 requires SDT 53 (write SDT)
The SDT is applicable only to Langara College courses and programs. The Langara Stat Department does not recognize diagnostic test results from other institutions. The SDT is not for credit nor can it be transferred to other institutions.
