Where completion of a final examination is required in order to receive credit for a course, students must be available for your examinations as scheduled. It is your responsibility to be aware of the time and date of your final examinations as indicated on the final version of the examination schedule. If possible, final examinations will be rescheduled upon request for any student scheduled to write:

1. Two or more examinations at the same time, or
2. Two or more examinations, each exceeding one hour in duration, with an intervening break of less than one-half hour (30 minutes), or
3. More than three examinations in different courses in one day, or
4. More than six hours of examinations in one day, or
5. Final examinations at a different institution or regular studies scheduled at the same time.

Final examinations will not be re-scheduled for reasons other than those noted above. Requests for re-scheduling of examinations must be made to your instructor two weeks before the exam. Documentation for all requests will be required, including printed examination schedules. Extenuating circumstances will only be considered with verifiable professional documentation. These include exceptional circumstances beyond a student’s control that significantly affect the student’s ability to meet requirements of a course.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR CREDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY 

To qualify for a Continuing Studies credential, students must complete at least 50% of the required course hours at Langara College Continuing Studies. Individual programs may stipulate a higher percentage, but not less than 50%.

TIME REQUIREMENT FOR CREDENTIAL COMPLETION 

Certificate programs may impose a time limit for the completion of all required coursework. Students who are unable to meet the graduation requirement within the prescribed time limit may consult the appropriate CS Program Coordinator to request an extension. Approval will be on a case-by-case basis. 

MULTIPLE CREDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY 

50% of credit for a second or subsequent credential must be new course work, not used to satisfy the requirements for a previous credential. The final 40% of the course work of the second or subsequent credential must be completed through Langara College Continuing Studies.

Effective August 2019 all courses that are part of a credential (Certificate, Diploma, and Post-Degree Diploma) will be subject to a registration limit of two (2) attempts. This means if you registered in a course twice, you must receive approval from the Program Coordinator to register for a third time. The request must be submitted by email. The Program Coordinator will review your case before making a final decision.

Note: If you dropped a course and it is not recorded on your transcript, this does not count towards the repeat limit; if you registered and withdrew from a course with a W on your transcript, this will count towards the repeat limit.
