Prerequisites

In order to enroll in a course, students must meet individual course prerequisites. Courses which have no prerequisites are open to all students. For courses with prerequisites, students must complete the prerequisite with minimum grade of C+ or 65% before they can take the course.

If the prerequisite was completed outside of Langara Continuing Studies, students will need to request for prerequisite approval. If eqiuvalent coursework was completed, students may be eligible for course exemption to be exempted from completing a course toward the program credential. Please complete an Exemption/Prerequisite Approval Form and select appropriately whether you are requesting a prerequisite approval or a course exemption with official transcripts from the institution where you completed the coursework. For description of the difference between a prerequisite approval and a course exemption, visit our FAQ.

The prerequisite for each course is shown in table below or visit our program chart here for the full program prerequisite sequence.
