The SIS is where you can get access to your student records, including your registered courses, schedules, receipts and grades. You can also register for some CS courses here yourself. You must also log into the SIS in order to set up your Computer User ID and set your password.

Office 365 Email is the portal for Langara E-mail (Outlook), as well as access to Microsoft 365 programs such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

To log into the SIS, first go to our login page and click on the link that says Student Information System. You will use your 9-digit Langara ID Number (LID) as your Login ID. This is a 9 digit number assigned to you when your account is created.

If it is your first time logging in, after you have entered this information you will be asked to accept our Terms of Use, and then you will be asked to enter your PIN again in order to set your Forget PIN Question. Once you have completed that, you can find all Continuing Studies functions by clicking on the “Students” tab at the top of the page, then clicking on “Continuing Studies”.

Your Langara ID will be listed on the paper receipt we will mail to you after registration. If you have not yet received your receipt, please call us at 604-323-5322 to retrieve your LID.

If this is your first time logging in, or you have never changed your password, your default PIN for the SIS will follow this format:

FL-YYYYMMDD

where “F” is the capitalized initial of your first name, “L” is the capitalized initial of your last name, and YYYYMMDD is the full year, month and day of your birth. And don’t forget the hyphen!

If you have logged in before, and have set your Forget PIN Question, you can click the “Forgot PIN?” button on the login page to recover it. If you are still unable to get your password, please call us at 604-323-5322

If you would like to reset your PIN, or change the Forget PIN Question, click the tab at the top of the page that says “Change Login Profile”. They are listed as the “myLangara PIN” and “myLangara Forget PIN Question”
